Hello Michael,
Congratulations on the new beta version. Looks very good so far ...

The grouping feature is very useful for already existing objects.
But how can I move a newly drawn object into an existing group?
-moritz

Addendum - I found the logic:

1. draw new object
2. assign name (if needed)
3. click on group to which the object should be moved.
4. done

Simple but effective

Hi moritz,

re:
> But how can I move a newly drawn object into an existing group?

Select the object, then click on the name label of the group (the text where it will say "Group01" for example) and it will assign the object to that group.

If you click on the name label of a named object it will assign that name to your current selection and if you click on the name label of a group it will put it into that group.

Hi Michael,

Here the parameters...






The difference... A4 format


With Letter, the place is 0K, propotions OK but size is 28.35 x 28.35

Hi Phiro,

re:
> The difference... A4 format

It's working fine for me over here when using A4 format as well.

What unit system do you have set in MoI ? (Options > General > Unit system)

Hi Michael,

On V5 Beta:

This DXF file is imported.

The 'ReconstructCurve' script is run and the V5 beta program closes without warning.

It works okay on V4.

Hi Michael,

The following scripts do not work in v5. v5 closes.
RadialPattern
Gear
Gear2
SpurGearProfile
Cloth
BlendCap (For a simple extruded circle (cylinder).

Hi Wayne,

Thanks for reporting this - it's an object refcount bug in some new group processing code in the array curve factory. It doesn't get triggered with the regular use of array curve, the circumstances to trigger it are when a script is using it, when there are "loose" objects used in intermediate stages of geometry processing that are not in the geometry database.

I've got it fixed up for the next release. I'll collect up a few more bugs to fix before putting out a new release.

Thanks,
- Michael

It's probably from the same array bug that's messing up ReconstructCurve too.

Can you please .zip up these scripts and e-mail them to me at moi@moi3d.com ? It would be good if I could make sure I'm using the exact same versions to test.

Thanks! - Michael

Hi Michael,
Zip of 9 files sent, including _ArcToCircle, _CCC, _cMorph, _FatLines.

A bunch of other scripts Do work properly in V5Beta Apr-9-2022

Hi Marco, thanks for the video link, I can repeat that over here.

It looks something like the group structure is getting into some kind of circular self referencing state.

The fix will be that it should just do nothing when you click on the same item where the selected objects are already at.

Hi Phiro,

re: Ctrl+A / select all not highlighting group - I just rolled out a new Apr-10 version and I think this should be fixed now. Please let me know if it works ok for you now.

Thanks, - Michael

@ Brian,

Should hopefully be fixed in new Apr-10 version I just put up.

Thanks, - Michael

@Marco,

re:
> groups gone mental..

Should be fixed in new Apr-10 version I just put up.

The bug was when trying to assign a group to be a child of itself. That case should just do nothing now.

Thanks, - Michael

Hi Michael,

The V5 Beta Apr-10-2022 fixed the issue with the 'ReconstructCurve' script error.

Thank you,
Wayne

The 8 scripts are working in Apr-10 beta.
(Cloth was 2014 version, and did not work in V4 either)
Max's Cloth 2017 appears to be working in V4 and V5, but sphere drape did not work in either V4 or new V5. Maybe I did not set up correctly...
Edit: Drape does work, with proper usage. Thankyou Pilou.
- Brian

Cloth works fine!V3, V4, V5 ;)

Just select for example a line(s) of points then click the Sphere(s) then Done, Done...!
Don't take "small" spheres!

Here with the V5 beta

Not sure if this is a bug, or if I'm just missing the logic here:

Create 3 boxes - boxes 1, 2, and 3.
Select them and Group.
Click on box 1 to select that individual box
Drag copy or use the copy tool to create a copy of box 1 = box 4.
Deselect

Selecting in the Objects browser now shows:

The first group I created - originally containing boxes 1, 2 & 3 - now contain boxes 2, 3 & 4.
A new group containing just box 3.
