My first guess would be coil whine.

Psygorn (DRILLBIT):
"there you will find a zip file called "F_Concept" if you unzip this file you will find 3 files in it. I double clicked on the file called "F_Concept.stp" obviously MOI3D opens but when I hover mouse cursor over the 3dmodel I hear a noise! it is audible when cursor moves over the model if the cursor stays still there will be no sound! and the sound is like a very low buzzing sound! Could you check and see if you get the same results? (I suggest you to use earphones/head phone) and if yes then what could be the reason?"

Hi, Charlie (BLARBLES),

I didn't know there is a technical term for it! (although I had known this phenomenon), However, the fact that I can hear this noise whenever I open a specific file inside MOI surprises me! (I also have a decent machine) so maybe my headphone has a weird problem!? anyway, this thread is about V5 beta and maybe I should not post anymore about it here ;-)

HI

What do you thinkk about a new function like this ?
It's one of the function from the FredoScale bar in SKETCHUP .

( the next file is a animated gif )

Hi Chri,

re:

It looks useful, I'd like to work on something like that at some point.

thanks Michael

[Request] I want delete and rename to manage Objects.

If I gave a Solid a name and made it into an object, but accidentally included a Curve, I want to recreate the object.
I think there is no way to delete an object.
Not to delete the model, of course. I just want to manage the object list.

I installed the beta of version 5 today.
A menu was added to Objects but it was only about groups. It would be nice to have delete and rename here.

Should I have write this in the V5 Wish List thread?

Hi marzRX, in the next v5 beta, when you click on something in the "Objects" section of the Scene Browser you'll get this menu pop up:

Wow, next v5 beta.

Can I rename the object name as well as the group name? And I also want "delete".

I look forward to the release of the next beta. Thank you.

Hi marzRX, yes both assign and rename work on either object names or groups there.

I don't have delete there yet but that seems like a good idea.

- Michael

Thank you, Michael.

The beta expiration date is coming up.

Hi sandykoufax, yes I'm going to be releasing a new v5 beta before the end of this month.

- Michael

Hi Michael.

Good to hear about that :)

What we'll get with this new upcoming beta? What you're working on?

Thanks.

Hi Marco,

re:

I can't tell just yet because I'm not quite sure if what I'm working on will be ready for the next beta or not yet.

"I'm not quite sure if what I'm working on will be ready for the next beta"

So now I'm too curious to know what you're adding.

We're like a bunch of little kids,
hanging around the kitchen door,
smelling something delicious
& waiting with gleeful anticipation! ;-}
