New Apr-26-2007 beta now available from the download page: http://moi3d.com/download.htm
Changes:
New Text command under Draw solid / Text allows for creating text geometry from TrueType fonts.
New Helix command under Draw curve / More / Helix. This allows you to draw a coiled-spring type curve.
Updated Hide command to allow for showing only a subset of the hidden objects. The way this works is when you go to show objects, instead of just showing everything it will display all the hidden objects on the screen and allow you to select some. When you push "Done" (or right-click), only those selected objects will be shown and the rest will remain hidden. If you push "Done" or right-click without selecting anything, then everything will be shown just as in the old version. This should help out when working with more complex scenes.
Added new Angle field to advanced settings in the mesh export dialog. Normally the slider sets the angle, but now you can also enter an exact angle if you want which also allows for values outside of the slider range. For example, the roughest value for the slider is 35 degrees, but if you want a very rough low-poly mesh you can now enter an angle of something like 90 degrees.
Updated mesh export so that open objects that are simple surfaces of revolution will have their normals oriented outward from the revolve axis.
Fixed a bug with filleting curve corners where the fillet would fail on closed curves made up of only 2 segments.
Have fun!
