Hi Burr, yep turn history updates off on the extruded solid, not original curve.

I'll see about putting in a way to turn history off by default.

Sorry I'm being stupid, where is the option to turn history on and off? After selecting the solid where do I turn the history on or off?

OK thanks -- found it. never explored that corner of MOI before.

Hi Wisty,

I'm not onto the powerful history feature yet, would love to get there soon.

I did test another way to do your sample box
and adapted a previous script Michael did for me...
Not fully tested but seems to work ok and its called "boxface"

Workflow
1, Draw > Solid > Box > press tab 29 tab 24, tab 8, right click done.
2, Select bottom face of the box
Construct > extrude > tab, distance: 2, done.
(Select both: cap ends and keep separate)..

3. Select the solid #1 sized @ 29x24x8
Run Boxface*, right click done.
or edit the 'shell' values there.



The turbo version is type in boxface 20
it will by pass the shell menu.

Put script in:
C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Moi\commands

*Assign to shortcut key or simply type in command line box
"boxface" for the option where you can vary the 'shell' or type
"boxface 20" for immediate 2mm 'turbo shell'

Cheers

Stefano

EDIT: Corrected path for scripts location.
