'OD' in the engineering world is Outside Diameter.

Hi Danny, thanks!

So when you create a Toroidal Helix, it asks for these 2 radius parameters:



The "Radius1" value sets the distance from the center of the torus to its centerline, like this:



The "Radius2" value sets the thickness of the torus - how large the torus is around that centerline, like this:



So that means that the outer diameter of the entire thing will be the Radius1 and Radius2 values added together, and then multiplied by 2.

These are values that you enter when creating the toroidal helix.

The unit system used will be the current unit system that is active in MoI at that time, which can be set under Options > General > Unit system.

Thank you Michael for clearing that up for me. and Thanks Danny for the OD response for Michael, sorry i couldnt back in time to clarify my question.

Cheers!

Hi!

I copied the two files (SineWave.htm and SineWave.js) to \commands. Applied to the G key command SineWave, but the program gives this error.

I use MoI v2 and Windows 7. In what may be the problem?

Thank you!

Hi Alex, could you show a screenshot of exactly what you put in for command assigned to the G key?

It should be just a plain name like this: SineWave


Make sure you don't have something like: script:SineWave

Thank you! Yes, actually wrote a line of text script. Corrected.

P.S. Sorry for my English. Translator Google.
