New little blockage! I stay on a Flat land! :)

Surely trivial but what is the "Frame" inside the Revolve Node and how to use it?



Of course I can rotate first my Profil... but i want to know the use of this mysterious "Frame"! :)

Hi Pilou, a frame is an origin point and 3 direction vectors which together defines a 3D coordinate system, like this:



Probably your case there will use the z axis of the frame as the axis of revolution.

Cool! Seems that but there is a direct exit from MOi! :) (without report! )
In general when slider go toward 0 (even 0 is not touched) - this is the same thing for any of axis chosen!

Ps The file ".3dm" saved don't appear on the list of last saved ! ??
I have yet 15 last saved files in this list (does exist a maxi number)
Saved is done before launch the Node!

Hi Pilou, since the node editor uses GeometryFactory::calculate() it runs the factory calculation inside MoI.exe instead of running it in the separate moi_commandprocessor.exe process as will happen when running the regular Revolve command. As a side effect of this there are some kinds of bugs that you can encounter with the node editor that get screened out with the regular commands because if moi_commandprocessor.exe crashes the MoI.exe process just keeps going ok.

In this case the bug is the revolve factory will crash if given a 0 (or perhaps very small) angle value. This could be tuned up in the Revolve node to not try and do the revolve if the angle is very small. Something like: if ( Math.abs(angle) < 0.01 ) return;

I've updated the revolve factory itself to do that as well so in the next release that shouldn't happen even with the current revolve node.

Hi Pilou,

> Saved is done before launch the Node!

The "recent files" list is written to moi.ini when MoI closes down but if it crashes then the normal shutdown processing does not happen.

The number of recent files that are displayed can be adjusted in moi.ini :

[UI]
<....>
MaxNumRecentFiles=15

About the Revolve function : I try to add the "if ( Math.abs(angle) < 0.01 ) return;" inside the construct.js file of the nodeeditor

but as I don't know where exactly to add it i have for the moment some errors... :)

PS about the Node editor for the V3 I have only a "White screen Window"
I have tryed

​moi.ui.createDialog( 'nodeeditor/index.html', 'resizeable,defaultWidth:680,defaultHeight:420', moi.ui.mainWindow ) on the prog itself

​moi.ui.createDialog( 'moi://appdata/nodeeditor/index.html', 'resizeable,defaultWidth:680,defaultHeight:420', moi.ui.mainWindow ); on the "application data"

no success

What is the number of the version of NodeEditor working for the V3?

Warning : Put the Minimum of the Slider at 1° Angle for avoid a direct exit of Moi before the new V4 !!!

Probably like this (haven't tested to make sure though), add the line marked with >>>

Revolve.prototype.onExecute = function()
{
	if (this.properties.mode[0] === "Union")
	{
		var inObj = this.getInputData(0, moi.geometryDatabase.createObjectList());
		var center = this.getInputData(1, new pointArray(true));
		this.properties.angle = this.getInputData(2, this.properties.angle);
		var frame = center.getFrame(0);

>>>		if ( Math.abs(this.properties.angle[0]) < 0.01 ) return;

		var output = factory ('revolve', inObj, frame.origin, frame.evaluate( 0, 0, 1 ), this.properties.angle[0], this.properties.cap_ends[0] === "On");
		this.setOutputData(0, output);
	}
	else
	{
		var data = this.processInOut(this.properties.mode[0], this.multiProcess, null, null, 360 );
		this.properties.angle = data.inputs[2];
		this.setOutputData(0, data.outputs[0]);
	}
}

I think the same version works for both, however v3 does not have the stuff needed for running it from appdata so you have to install it in the main install folder, in the ui subfolder if I remember right.

Then if you put it in a folder like \ui\nodeeditor , you would use the first one above. Whatever folder you put it in, this part in bold of the keyboard shortcut should match the folder name: ​moi.ui.createDialog( 'nodeeditor/index.html',

If you want to have one single launcher shortcut key that does different things depending on whether it's running in V3 or V4 you can do it like this:

Also Macros in v3 won't work unless you apply the fix from here:

About the >>> if ( Math.abs(this.properties.angle[0]) < 0.01 ) return;

that is working fine now! The right thing at the right place is better than the right thing at a random place! :)

About the V3 : that is working also fine after the "fix" ! (i have the 0.97 ) so i will test also the 1.0

Edit: definitly not the 1.0 works for me for the V3 inside the (x86 path) or inside the the app data...
not a big deal... as that works now 0.97 (fixed) for V 3 and 1.0 for the beta V 4 :)

Next native section repository will be "Transform" section I see the end of the tunnel but i have keep the more difficult for the end! :)
And the more easy "Basic" for the ultima end! :D

---

And last curious thing : the fact to change the Shortcut for a version ("appdata" for Beta V4 - not "appdata" for the V 3)
changes also the Shortcut for the other version of Moi! A true ghost story! :)
I suppose that's explaning my previous "White window" !

So must Copy Past the good path from somewhere if i want use Elephant on an another version of Moi!
(and of course a little trouble with an error "\u8203" during the Copy/Past path for spice things! :)
(seems CTRL C - CTRL V doesn't like to past a selected text from Website - must use the "contextual menu" Right Click !

Shortcuts are stored in the moi.ini file and by default both MoI v3 and v4 will use the same moi.ini file, so that's normal.

You can set up an individual shortcut that will do different things depending on whether it is running on MoI v3 or v4, or it is also possible to make MoI v3 and v4 use separate moi.ini files instead of sharing the same one, see here for how to set those things up:

<< script: if ( moi.majorVersionNumber == 3 ) { moi.ui.alert('running in v3'); } else if ( moi.majorVersionNumber == 4 ) { moi.ui.alert('running in v4'); }

it's just an Alert or that makes also good running of the good Shortcut ?
And where put it ? At the begin line of the script of the Shortcut Elephant ? or ...

---

Hi Pilou, you would need to replace the alert with the code that opens the node editor dialog.

So for example if you want to have v3 do this:

​moi.ui.createDialog( 'nodeeditor/index.html', 'resizeable,defaultWidth:680,defaultHeight:420', moi.ui.mainWindow );

and have v4 do this:

​moi.ui.createDialog( 'moi://appdata/nodeeditor/index.html', 'resizeable,defaultWidth:680,defaultHeight:420', moi.ui.mainWindow );

You would place the v3 code in this spot:

script: if ( moi.majorVersionNumber == 3 ) { moi.ui.alert('running in v3'); } else if ( moi.majorVersionNumber == 4 ) { moi.ui.alert('running in v4'); }

and place the v4 code in this spot:

script: if ( moi.majorVersionNumber == 3 ) { moi.ui.alert('running in v3'); } else if ( moi.majorVersionNumber == 4 ) { moi.ui.alert('running in v4'); }


So the whole thing would look like this:

script: if ( moi.majorVersionNumber == 3 ) { moi.ui.createDialog( 'nodeeditor/index.html', 'resizeable,defaultWidth:680,defaultHeight:420', moi.ui.mainWindow ); } else if ( moi.majorVersionNumber == 4 ) { moi.ui.createDialog( 'moi://appdata/nodeeditor/index.html', 'resizeable,defaultWidth:680,defaultHeight:420', moi.ui.mainWindow ); }


Hope that helps!

That was not evident indeed but miracle...
the "Whole thing" works inside the both V 3 (0.97) and beta V 4 (1.0) ! (in the same time :)
Bravo! No more headaches for this for me now!

(i will try again if the 1.0 works also for the V 3 )

---

Second miracle: the 1.0 works now also for the V3 !
Excellent! :)
