Nope, that's pretty much the one.

Yup, it is pretty different approach. It's not really a replacement or equivalent of Sketchup, it is sort of for doing different types of things.

You'll notice that there are a lot more curve drawing tools in MoI than in Sketchup - in MoI you tend to work more by drawing curves to make a type of wireframe outline of shapes, and then use different construction commands to build surfaces or solids from your curves. Then frequently you trim or boolean different objects together to combine different pieces together.

It is also possible to draw some simple solids directly, like boxes, spheres, or cylinders, and then boolean those together into more complex objects.


Do you have something in particular that you're trying to create? If you give me an idea or sketch of what you want to do I can probably help you get started on it.


> Is it possible to program shortcuts for those of us who use shortcuts a lot?

Yup, this is possible by editing the moi.ini file, check here for some details: http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=35.1

Also Petr has collected some more information on keyboard shortcuts and a variety of useful script macros here: http://kyticka.webzdarma.cz/3d/moi/

Let me know if you need any help getting a particular keyboard shortcut to work.
