Certainly in a perfect world it would read your mind and make what you had been thinking of and not what you actually drew.

But keep in mind that this is not a perfect world, and MoI does not have that kind of artificial intelligence - if you give it badly formed or messy curves as input then you will tend to get messy results or problems exactly like you have shown here.

I'd like to make MoI more tolerant of these kinds of things, but that is something that happens incrementally over time. It can be difficult to do too much "automatic fixing" of things because that can also alter shapes as well.


It tends to be best to take some care in forming your initial curves, use the snapping tools to make sure pieces are actually aligned with one another rather than just "eyeballing" it. If you make sure to use the various snap tools to get things lined up then you would not really run into this.
