Hi Moritz, thanks for posting that. That one means it can't find one of the "ui", "commands", or "docs" folders inside the normal app package (inside Contents/Resources inside the app).

Did you possibly delete one of those from your installation?

Hi, Michael,
yes, at first I deleted these folders, but then reinstalled MoI. Now it also finds the commands folder in the library directory and the scripts run perfectly. Don't ask me what I did wrong - without your help I would be lost.
Thank you very much for your always quick help ...

Ah yes the Dog-bone and T-Bone corners for your previous post ;)

Else for the offset lines
You can also close by 2 Blends it's more natural :)
But sure it's not automatic for hundred of them! :)

Hi Vladimir,

re:
> Is there any way to automate this kind of rounding of two-dimensional geometry?

Try the attached InsertCircle script, it will insert a circle into your 2D shape with every click which places the circle's center point.

Instructions for installing a plug-in here.

It works like this:


Hope that helps! - Michael

EDIT: 5/29/2021 - added "Flip" option.

Funny!

When you click out the space of the closed curve clicked for draw other circles
then that make Union with existant ones!
A sort of blobbing ogre! :)
(inside or outside)



And you can select several closed curves!
And you can change size during the drawing directly to the numeric keyboard!



Bones! ;)

Hi Vladimir, sorry I don't understand quite exactly what you want it to do. I was thinking you just wanted a quick way to place circles onto a rectangle with some different variations.

It sounds like you were looking for something more specific than that?

Is it that you want to generate the whole shape including the rectangle in one step? What parameters would you want to give?

Hi Vladimir, in order to automate something I would need to know what parameters you want the automation process to take as inputs.

Would the input be the rectangle and 4 circle curves like you have in the file?

@Vladimir
Only for a quadrangle or for any closed curves ?
For many objects in the same time ?

Hi Vladimir, I mean that I need to understand how you want the automation to run.

What type of values do you want to enter?

What would the UI of the automation look like? What controls would it have?

Hey friends! I hope everyone is having fun and being creative!

I got some time to model with the latest beta again :)

I notice that when manipulating the points of an open polyline, I get no snap when moving the ends. There is no snap to point behavior when I move a point. Have I turned something off or this is normal?

Hi nameless, it is normal that moving a polyline point will not snap to itself while dragging points but you can use the Transform > Move command if you need to do that.

If that's not it then it sounds like you have turned "Object Snap" off. It is controlled by this button in the bottom toolbar:



If that is not highlighted in orange click on it to turn it on.

It is also possible to disable specific types of snaps, that is done by clicking on the little arrow above the Object Snap button that will appear when you move the mouse over it. A menu will pop out where specific snap types can be disabled so you might see if you have unchecked any of those previously:
