Full Version: V4 beta Feb-27-2019 available now

Not necessarily for v4 but two features I think would be golden!

1. Some kind of notification of a conversion of a solid to joined surface. Even turning the Joined surf text at the top right to red would be useful. Sometimes I destroy a solid and I do not even realize until much later when undoing is a pain. It's especially painful after a fillet, where there is no visual indication that something went wrong- everything looks like it worked but you do not have a solid.

2. Local symmetry mode when manipulating points for surfaces with points visible. I was able to do it by mirroring the curves for half of the object and then seeing the loft result update, but I think that it would be really useful to have something more direct. You can get the most interesting shapes I've seen, using loft flow and point manipulation, it's a shame :)

Hi Brian, that's great you found out what's going on, that was a tricky one! Thanks for keeping after it and tracking it down.

Hi nameless, both of those are definitely on my radar for future work.

I have what I hope will turn out to be a good idea for displaying warning messages at the end of a command, I'm eager to experiment with it after v4 is settled down.

Hello, Michael,
Thank you very much for the new update.
Unfortunately, I couldn't find my externally saved scripts in the script selection so far, although they are stored in the correct directory.
(/Users/moritz/Library/Application Support/Moi/commands). But when I call them manually, they work.
Also, when calling Max Smirnov's script "NutsAndBolts", I get the following error message.
Do you have any idea how I can fix the bug?
Thanks for your help

Hello, Michael,
it works now with the version NutsAndBolts.v.0.96.2015.06.22
I have been using the version ... 21
Sorry for the inconvenience

Hello, Michael,
The first problem still exists, although the entry in the moi.ini is as follows:

[Commands]
NonRepeatingCommands=delete undo redo
DoNotRepeatShortcutKeys=n
UseDiameterDefault=y
AdditionalCommandsDirs=//Users/moritz/Library/Application%20Support/Moi/commands

Could you please describe what you mean by "couldn't find" them ? If you type in the command name and it runs, that means MoI is finding them.

Hi Moritz,

re:
> [Commands]
> NonRepeatingCommands=delete undo redo
> DoNotRepeatShortcutKeys=n
> UseDiameterDefault=y
> AdditionalCommandsDirs=//Users/moritz/Library/Application%20Support/Moi/commands

So the AdditionalCommandsDirs there isn't right, you've got it set there as a web URL. For a regular file name you'd want to have just one / at the start insead of // and have a space instead of %20.

But MoI will already look in that directory by default, so it should not be necessary to try and add it using AdditionalCommandsDirs, that's for adding more directories beyond the regular one.

- Michael

This is correct - when typing the scripts they will be found.
But they do not appear in the selection box.

The change in the moi.ini did not bring any improvement.

Hi Moritz, the "selection box" is not a built in part of MoI, it's part of the CustomUI extension.

So first thing to check is are you running an old version of that? You can get the current one from here I think:

Hello, Michael,
now I have adjusted everything so far, but now I get the following hint when starting Moi

Where is this report stored so I can send it to you?

Hi Moritz, actually the report generation for those cases (called an "assert" instead of a crash) isn't hooked up in v4, I'll re-enable it for the next beta.

There may be some information about it in the log though, you can show the log by running this script:
script: moi.ui.createDialog( 'ShowLog.htm' );

Could you please run that copy any text in there and send it to me here or e-mail to moi@moi3d.com ?

Thanks, - Michael

Hi Michael,
here is the hardcopy (can't copy the text) of this log file
Thanks,

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?

- Michael

---

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 ...

No problem moritz, I'm glad you are all set up ok now!
