Also the max size for an individual file uploaded as an attachment is 10MB, is your file larger than that?

There is also a limit of 50MB for all attachments, if you have a large file it is better to upload it to a file sharing service like Dropbox, etc... and then have a link to it here rather than have a very large direct file attachment.

Hi Tudor,

re:

Sorry I'm not sure how to do that. I can put a link to the first one in the wiki resources page though, would that help?

Thanks, - Michael

wanna ask about rotation - wanna do a to bounding box option on pressing hotkey
first testing on curves -> there's an option in v4 -> crv.planarFrame
tested - but it's shifts from bounding box -> gives planar frame but in another location
my questions ->
1. knowing 2 coordonates is it possible to make a frame ? accordigly to http://moi.maxsm.net/ it needs 3 (as it is from bbox to frame)
2. if upper is true wich will be (z) knowing x & y, next hotkey for flipping axis ()
3. if they are other scrips for rotation ?

shortly what I desire (unify rotation with some extra)
r - rotate
rr - rotate + bbox (planar frame 2d)
rrw(rrs) - rotate bbox + increase/decrease by amount (2d)
rrf - rotate from bbox + flip axis (x/y/z)
rrfw(rrfs) - rotate increase/decrease by amount (3d)
rc - rotate copy
rrc - rotate + bbox + copy
ra - array
rra - array from bbox

Hi Tudor,

Well 2 points does not identify a unique frame, the 2 points can form a z axis direction for the frame but there is nothing that locks down the x/y axis directions to a single answer. Depending on what you need it can be possible to do something like the AutoCAD arbitrary axis algorithm (link) where you take a fixed direction like the world z axis and use cross product of that and the z axis to produce an x axis.

If you want the 2 points to be an axis to rotate around, you could try the RotateAxis command or factory, that takes 2 points instead of a frame and then a rotation angle and the rotation will be around the direction vector between those 2 points.

> 2. if upper is true wich will be (z) knowing x & y, next hotkey for flipping axis ()

Sorry I don't understand this one.

Hi Tudor, yes I do plan on supporting OpenSubdiv style edge weighting imported through FBX format.

Ohayo !
wanna ask about techincal aspects hiding behind cad modeling
what's the reason to have always a solid shape ? why can't be done a bool operation of a plane and a surface knowing the plane normals ?

From: Frenchy Pilou (PILOU)

2 May 2021 [#273] In reply to [#272]

I believe it's essentially for Print 3D : you must have a thickness different than "0"
so a solid and not a simple plane surface who can't exist in the reality! ;)

And some practical for know how cost some volumes of materials for building or what is the density of something! ;)

But in Moi you can make Boolean operations with plane, surface with thickness = "0" !

HI Tudor,

re:
> why can't be done a bool operation of a plane and a surface knowing the plane normals ?

That's because MoI is designed to try and not behave differently depending on which direction an open surface happens to have as the "positive" normal direction.

The booleans are based on working with solids. If you are working on all surfaces you should use the Trim command instead of booleans usually.

dragging points from a curve doesn't snaps to points of the same curve

From: Michael Gibson

8 May 2021 [#276] In reply to [#275]

Hi Tudor,

> dragging points from a curve doesn't snaps to points of the same curve

Yes, that's intentional to avoid having consecutive points get stacked up on top of each other too easily, such stacking degrades some of the mathematical properties of the curve and can cause problems.

Trim
t - trim add point
s - trim single segment ( can crash if not selected from object that was separated, idk how to fix)

In general it's difficult to work on something where you're zoomed out so that it is too small on screen. It's good to zoom in in such situations so you have some room on screen to work with.

There is a setting though for how far your mouse cursor needs to be from a snap point for the snap to engage, that's under Options > Snaps > Object snap options > "Snap radius".
