Good day.
Maybe to add the ability to quickly cut while in 3d view to create interesting shapes

Also the ability to create 2d drawings for shop use ready to print.

Tnx.

The Cut that you show is Voxels not sure that arrives inside Moi ;)
Boolean Diff cut as weel... so make plane solid by 3 Pts


< < to create interesting shapes
you can make funny forms with Moi ;)

Really simple request:

To be able to switch between views with a shortcut key. In Cinema 4D, you can press the scroll wheel on a mouse to switch between all four views to individual views. Or like in Blender, the numeric keypad switches views. That would be smoother than having to press one of the keys at the bottom panel.

And one for the community – more tutorials, workflow tips etc.

Michael – great program, keep up the great work!

Hi Chris, you can set up shortcut keys to switch between views currently, see here for what to put in for the "command" part of the shortcut key:

Hi Michael,

Not a barn burner, but maybe an opacity setting for the grid.
It only seemed an issue when using reference images as set from the view tab.

for 1 -> i've made a script for that - polycut
http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=8665.18
select object -> cut - great for sketching

The script causes Moi3d v4 to hang and get stuck :(

Tnx

---

works fine here
not finished - yes, missing conditions ~ like if u dont select an object exit command or if polyline is not closed close and cut
But at time i was scripting was enough to have at least such one

Is it possible to use 123D as a companion to MOI for fillets?

Does the below link have the latest version of it? is it version 2.2.14 ?

https://web.archive.org/web/20170202170834/http://www.123dapp.com/design

What software (preferably free & light weight) you suggest to be used as a companion for fillets?

---

Hello AlexPolo,

Is it compatible with MOI? Could one export & import models from MOI to it back & forth?

---

Hi Pilou,

What do u mean? Do u mean it is possible to have sequential shortcuts in MOI?

For example imagine I want to use Boolean Merge, Could I press C -> B -> M (C for targeting Construct, B for Boolean & M for Merge)

Is it possible to do so in MOI?

---

Hi Psygorn,

re:
> Is it possible to use 123D as a companion to MOI for fillets?

Yes, I think you can transfer back and forth to it using STEP format.


> Does the below link have the latest version of it? is it version 2.2.14 ?

Sorry, don't know.


> What software (preferably free & light weight) you suggest to be used as a companion for fillets?

You might try ViaCAD, OnShape, or Fusion360.

Sorry no currently there isn't anything set up to do keyboard shortcuts in that particular way.

Tanx,

By the way the link I mentioned before seems not working! for me! It is as if it keeps downloading for ever!

---

Yes it's very difficult to download somewhere this 2.2.14....

Another free one is Design Spark Mechanical 5.0 but it's some tricky for use it with Moi! ;)
(it's a light version of SpaceClaim)
see here https://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=6186.1

https://web.archive.org/web/20160218191658/http://www.123dapp.com/design - this link works I dont know which version is it. This site shows www from past dates (old www backups).

https://web.archive.org/web/20160401000000*/http://123dapp.com - you should click every date and look for valid site with download like above.


In the matter of ViaCad. I`ve asked on their forum. Only ViaCad Pro has got ACIS kernel modeling tools. ViaCad 2d/3d doesn`t. It changed lately. It`s not so cheap to buy it only for fillets.


There is some open source kernel OpenInventor (Coin3d framework). If Inventor has better fillets than MoI3d and Rhino then why someone won`t build paid plugin for both with using that kernel? I think many people would buy it. Only for fillets, offsets and shelling (if its better). I`ve heard that some of FreeCAD users want to implement that kernel in FreeCAD (I think I`ve heard it here about future plans of changing freecad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Z-GBpV97q8)

HI mdesign, OpenInventor is not a CAD geometry kernel, it is what is called a "scene graph". It's basically a library for managing the display of 3D objects.

There is also a CAD program called "Inventor" made by Autodesk but it does not have any relation to the OpenInventor scene graph library.

Are you sure about this? Their feature comparison page here:
https://www.punchcad.com/product-line-comparison

Has "ACIS® Solid Modeling Kernel" and "Shelling, Blending" both marked for ViaCAD 2D/3D...

- Michael

On one chart they showed that ACIS is inside on other they showed there is no ACIS. That second was changed since I`ve read about it.

I`ve asked on their forum cause I`ve read few threads there about it and I want to make sure.

http://forum.punchcad.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=10517#post39953

They sends only PRO version as trial so it`s impossible to check before buying.

If it`s true then it`s dirty move to write not truth on their site.

QUOTE: "PunchCAD, that is, ViaCAD and Shark and variants, was originally the 'retail' line that grew out of Concepts Unlimited. Punch! was bought up by Encore/Broderbund, Encore by IMSI in turn. Licensing arrangements have been subject to those realignments, ownership and management changes, the loss of Mesh-to-NURBS and even the removal of ACIS from base versions are an unfortunate outcome. It's useful to remember that Shark Pro V10 and PPPro have flexible license that enable installation on multiple PCs, even now. Installations can only be open one at a time, but V11 and V12 can't be multiple-installed, and to me, that's as great a loss as mesh-to-nurbs. Maybe time for dongles to make a comeback?"

this quote was from this site: http://forum.punchcad.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=39920#post39920

Hmmm. well the responses on the forum do not seem to be from someone at the company itself.

That's a bummer if that's correct though.
