Hi Lee, MoI is heavily focused on being lightweight and easy to use, so it is not expected to have a lot of extra repeated buttons in the default UI.

That's the "CustomUI" UI extension which you can find here:
http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=6507.1

The align points function is already present in the standard UI under Transform > Align.

It's a priority to try and keep it close to its current state by default.

Hi Michael,

Thank you for your reply. It makes total sense to keep MoI lightweight, and I must remember that. I took an AutoCad class a couple of years ago and it made my head swim. The ease of use is one of the characteristics that sold me on MoI. I feel like I have largely only scratched the surface of MoI, and am enjoying having those ah-ha moments. I used it to retopo/rebuild a 3D scan of the hammer of an 1858 cap and ball revolver, and I was amazed at how accurate I could get the rebuild.

I appreciate the heads-up on the Custom UI. I will investigate.

Thanks again,
-Lee
