Hi Michael,

the file attached to my previous message. Curve Isect generates 14 points.

Hi Max, sorry I must have missed the attachment.

I'm not sure why there is no result from boolean intersection there, but even if it did work it would work as it does in the attached version.


re: 14 points - sorry I didn't notice there were so many points stacked up when I tried it. It's likely to be coming from multiple pieces of the solid's topology all intersecting the line there, probably results from 3 faces, 3 edges and 1 vertex all intersecting the line right there. The geometry library function that is being called for the intersection seems to return all those results and that's what gets generated currently. In v4 I should be able to filter results like that to weed out duplicates.

Volume calculation in MoI would be great. I create a lot of stuff for 3D printing, and now have to export a mesh to Blender 3D first, to measure its volume using the 3D Print Toolkit add-on.
