Thanks for the quick reply and workaround!
And a big DUH on the UI font. I knew I had seen it before :)

Ok i have found the 2 faces to remplace but any idea of what that made ? :) (up face cylinder and adjacent face box)
Better welding edges ?...

Hi Pilou,

re:
> but any idea of what that made ?

Not sure yet, but probably different orientations on the outwards surface normals.

There are gaps in the complete original object

Flip faces don't make no more, only select edges of an erased face then Plane make something...then global boolean Union

Wow…. Just Wow!!!

Thank you!

I don't know if Spatial knows yet the jackpot they just hit!

Once again demonstrating Sheer force of will!

Hi Burr, yeah but ACIS added in around 15MB.

Still pretty lean by today's standards though.

Wow this is such an amazing update!
I love Moi 3d, one of best tools I have the pleasure of working with everyday!

In this system you can't increase the radius up the first intersection of fillets between them! Here it will be 1!

On my version (latest beta) it doesn't show the LIBRARY option.
What do I need to do to see it?

Also: I don't see any thumbnails in explorer (win 10)

TIA

Hi Death,

re:

What do you have selected when you run the fillet command? If you have curves selected then you won't see it, if you have edges selected then you should see it.

Are you testing with a default install or are you applying customized UI? Are you possibly overwriting the regular fillet command with an older version?


> Also: I don't see any thumbnails in explorer (win 10)

Can you show a screenshot of an explorer window?

- Michael

Hi Michael,

I am using my old standby custom UI, and I copied the fillet files from the beta program directory to make sure.

Included screenshots







Oops, I forgot:
The clamp.jpg is the one generated from the custom UI, the other test files don't have it...

Hi Death,

re:

What files are you copying exactly? Are you overwriting Fillet.htm or Fillet.js inside the commands install folder?

For the thumbnails, it's normal for an Explorer window to not show thumbnails when it's in "Details" view mode.

You need to switch to a view mode that will display thumbnails, like View > "Large icons" mode.

- Michael

Hmm, that's weird, I just resaved one of the tests and it shows the .jpg for it.
But, I think that maybe the pic that the custom UI saves, unless that is what the new version is supposed to do?



I copied everything that said fillet, or fillets.xxx.

The new version does not save any additional .jpg file, it saves an image that is stored inside the .3dm file and File Explorer windows will display that embedded image when viewing in a thumbnail displaying mode.

Only new .3dm files that were generated with this new beta will have the thumbnails in them.


> I copied everything that said fillet, or fillets.xxx.

Ok, but why are you copying those files? You'll need to leave these files alone and keep the Fillet.js and Fillet.htm files that are in the regular install.

If you overwrite Fillet.js and Fillet.htm with old versions from previous betas that's when you will have problems.

- Michael

Oh for the thumbnails, are you running the installer on the same machine where you are trying to view the thumbnails?

Because the thumbnail shell extension gets registered with the installer now, it won't be set up if you run the installer on some other machine and then just copy the files.

You can manually register the shell extension by opening up a command prompt with "Run as Administrator", then cd to the directory where you have MoI and run:
regsvr32 moi_lib.dll

A dialog should pop up "DllRegisterServer in moi_lib.dll succeeded." and then the thumbnail extractor shell extension will be registered with the shell to use for getting thumbnails out of .3dm files.

- Michael

OKYDOKY, I will re-install and try again.

I let you know what happened when done...

I reinstalled, but no fillets or thumbnails after saving.

Tried the regsrv32, but get this error message:

That's the previous beta version (May-22-2022):



The new one is MoI 5.0 beta Mar-28-2023 .
