Really like the new UI-controlled settings.
Its crisp and clear and not so tiredsome to the eyes for longer sittings.
Ill quess theres more news "under the hood" but im ever so impressed
by the simpleness and robustness with Moi3D.
Its not only cleverly designed but works seamlessly with Illustrator as well.
As others has pointed out this is a very priceworthy alternative to
other 3D-softwares.

P.S
If only a "Faux" Polygon/Vertex/Nurbs--converter could be made to make,
polygons to nurbs in realtime. The "search" for the
optimal program would be over.
As it would cover the Plasticity-factor and the inner
Daniel Simon in us all for a better workflow.
D.S

In all thumbs up to a great software!

Hi, Michael. I'm trying Fillet in this new beta version, and here's what happened:



I tried to fillet the left bottom corner of a rectangle and a box: point for the rectangle, and edge for the box. In curve object, the fillet 'won't go as far' as in solid object though they both have the very same 2D measurements i.e. the solid is an extrusion from the curve. So if I want to achieve the bottom shape for closed curve, I have to 'extract' the desired curve from the solid below.

Is this normal or I did make mistake?

Thank you very much in advance and please pardon my English.

Hi Elang, that's currently a normal limit of curve filleting.

In V5 the new ACIS filleting used for solids is able to generate a fillet where the fillet consumes other nearby pieces.

But curve filleting is not able to do that, curve filleting will stop when the segment on either side of the point being filleted is consumed.

Understood and noted, Michael.

Thank you.

Hi Isleofgough,

re:

There is a file "Install instructions readme.txt" file included in the .zip file, did you do the steps in it?

Hi Isleofgough,

re:
> Unfortunately, this beta version will not open in OSX 15

I set up macOS 15/"Sequoia" over here and the v5 beta is working fine for me after following the install readme instructions.

For MoI v4, it used to be enough to right click on the app and choose "Open" on the pop up menu for the first time running it. But with Sequoia that won't work anymore. You instead need to go to System Settings > Privacy & Security and there will be an option there where you can allow it to run.
Some more info on this here:

Hi Michael et al,

MoI V5 beta includes a function to copy SVG curves to the copy buffer. Does anyone happen to know if it's possible to paste that buffer into Blender? Blender natively supports SVG, but after copying a curve to the SVG buffer using script: moi.geometryDatabase.copyToClipboardSVG(); and pressing Control + V in Blender, nothing happens.

Thanks!

Hi Metin, I tested with Ctrl+C copy from Inkscape as well with the same non result trying to paste into Blender.

So it looks like Blender does not currently support pasting in SVG format ("image/svg+xml") from the clipboard.

That's a feature request to make for Blender.

- Michael

---

Hi Michael,

Thanks for checking, appreciated. You're right, this should be a Blender feature.

Cheers,

---

OK, submitted the feature request. Anyone who would welcome pasting of MoI's SVG copy buffer into Blender, please upvote the request, thanks!

The perspective switching is ineffective in version V5. Can it be repaired?
script:if ( moi.ui.mainWindow.viewpanel.mode != 'split' ) { moi.ui.mainWindow.viewpanel.mode = 'split' } else { var viewport = moi.ui.getViewportUnderMouse(); if ( viewport ) { viewport.viewPanel.mode = viewport.name } }

---

Hi feirui445,

It's working fine for me in v5. What problem are you having?

- Peer

---

Hi feirui445, yes that's working ok for me too. If you're in "split" mode when you trigger it, is your mouse pointer over the view you want to switch to?

If your mouse pointer is not over the viewport then it won't do anything.

Hello,
How can I get objects from one layer to another layer?

In my file there are 2 layers K2-Balkon.



I would like to merge these two layers into the layer that is in the K2 group.

Bye
Andreas

it's that you want ?

Just select something
go to the Groups wanted
Click on it "Assign Selection here" = Selection go to this Group!



PS Rename as you want if necessary because Group01, Group02 are not very descriptive! :)

If you want only one group from the previous...so like a "merge"...
Ungroup the Group02 selected
as it's yet selected...Goto Group01
Click on it "Assign Selection here" = Selection go to this Group!
All is inside one group...



Like this you can make some complex arborescences without big headaches! :)

Hi Andreas,

re:
> I would like to merge these two layers into the layer that is in the K2 group.

So like Pilou mentions above, the main way is to select it (click on selection dot) and then click on the name label where you want it to go and choose "Assign selection here".

There are some complicating factors for your case here though.

One thing is that those objects are hidden, and you can't select objects that are hidden.



So those need to be shown before clicking on their selection dot, or there is a shortcut if you hold down shift while clicking the selection dot that will show it and select it.

Also another shortcut is that you can right click on a name label to do "Assign selection here" without showing the regular menu.

But there's another complicating factor which is that some of these names are assigned to edges and edges will not want to be shown if their owning surface or solid is itself hidden.

It may be a good idea to purge the names off of edges.

You can do that by showing everything ( "Hide" button on Edit palette on side pane), clear selection, go to Types > Edges and click selection dot, then click on name field in properties panel showing "(varies)" and assign a blank name.

That will get rid of some of the misbehaving names in the browser.

Let me know if you need more details.

Hi Andreas, also another way to remove names from edges is to set up this on a shortcut key:

script: /* Remove names from edge sub-objects */ var breps = moi.geometryDatabase.getObjects().getBReps(); for ( var i = 0; i < breps.length; ++i ) { breps.item(i).getEdges().setProperty( 'name', '' ); }

That will get rid of the "K2-Balkon-2" that's at the top which is set on an edge sub object.
