Hi Michael,

Great job on the new tools!!!! =-D

I like the IsoParm features on both Project and Trim commands.
The Extrude to a point is good too because you can make instant pyramids.
The Taper (draft) function is going to be useful, but I found I was able to make ugly of it when the shape to extrude was too complex.
It's nice to have icons on the Flow features now.


Okay... I'm slightly miffed about the CPU improvement.
I guess you were right when you said that results would be dependent on what you were running.

I set up the older MoI and the new release with my "Boiler Watch" model. It has 1073 ojects. at 75 megs (file).
I tried it on my home PC earlier this morning and I really didn't notice any difference in speed (when heavily rotating the 3D view).
I have some kind of old NVidia with P4 Intel CPU... But I didn't expect much on that machine.

I thought I'd get better results at work, but I guess it could already be souped up somehow...

Here is my test with the "Boiler Watch":

My Work PC has these specs:
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600K CPU @ 3.40GHz
RAM: 16.0 GB System: 64-bit
Vid card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560
CUDA Cores: 336
Graphic clock: 850 MHz
Processor clock: 1701 MHz
Mem clock: 2052 MHz 4104 MHz data rate

Nothing is overclocked as far as I know.

This is the Fraps log:

2012-07-20 11:11:07 - MoI (for older version)
Frames: 21 - Time: 5569ms - Avg: 3.771 - Min: 4 - Max: 7
Moi's counter is aprox: 160ms

2012-07-20 11:13:29 - MoI (for newer version)
Frames: 18 - Time: 4680ms - Avg: 3.846 - Min: 4 - Max: 7
Moi's counter is aprox: 160ms

This is a real negligible difference.

With the old version I could see at least one processor going, with another two at a lower rate.
With the new one all were cranking pretty well.

Note that my CPU is really a 4-core with hyper-threading to make eight.

So, am I'm I doing something wrong, or was there something originally with my system that could be gaining an advantage?
I do, however, notice a little less lag time when zooming in and out with the mouse's scroll wheel.






So, why am I not seeing any noticeable increase when the processor use chart begs to differ?
Could it be that Moi is now just eating more CPU for kicks? ;-)
