Hi Finema,

re:
> Can you put a rounded bevel (0,15 mm) to this model in attachment ?

The maximum it will go is 0.04 units. To go larger the profile curves will need to be cleaned up some more to remove those tiny line segments that Pilou shows above.

I've attached a version that has those removed, it can now be filleted at your target 0.15 radius.

Thanks Michael !

Hello.On v5 dark color theme guide lines almost invisible.they have white color.Can you change it to grey\blue\red or btw something else becouse its unreal to work with that

The default dark theme draws the construction lines with an alternating black and white dashes. The white dashes have a high contrast against the darker viewport background, it should look like this:





Does it look different for you over there? Have you possibly changed the viewport background color to a light color?

You can make a customized color theme that has a different color. The setting for it is not currently exposed in the theme editor UI, you need to edit the theme definition file directly to change it. To do that got to the theme folder (Options > General > "Manage themes" > "Open themes folder") and open the file defines.inc in a text editor.

The line that controls construction line color is:
STRAIGHT_SNAP_LINE_ARGB_COLOR #B0FFFFFF

That has values for opacity, red, green, blue.

If you wanted to make it red you could put:

STRAIGHT_SNAP_LINE_ARGB_COLOR #B0FF0000

Oh thanks,i don't now why if i choice dark theme my viewport color stay white as default,i change color and its work

I have another question do you want add full acis possibilities or only fillets?

That will happen if you've set a custom viewport background color in a previous version.

You can reset it to follow the theme color under Options > View > Colors > Background color: "From theme".

I'm also expecting to use it for Chamfer, Shell/Offset, and what is called "Direct modeling" functions like transforming an individual face and the surrounding faces extend to meet the edited face. That should be a good spot to wrap up v5 at that point.

Over a longer period I'll probably experiment with replacing other things like booleans.

Nice,how much time do you need to create version 5 the way you want?

Hi blackboard,

re:

Probably not really too much because it's mostly swapping out internal geometry creation functions and not creating new UI.

Something like another month to get that stuff hooked up and maybe a couple more months beyond that for tuning and bug fixes.

Nice!Its fast.I have last question, if i bought EDU v4 license 2 day ago i will have free upgrade to v5? or i will need to pay 100 dollars?

I did a test, on a model, I'll do some tests during these days and then I'll share them, however on Linux the performance has improved a lot, I don't understand if this depends on something else but now everything is super smooth!
Great thanks

Sorry, I don't know when the free upgrade cutoff date will be yet.

There is also an EDU upgrade version as well.

That's great! There has been a couple of tweaks to avoid certain texture formats that did not seem to be supported well on Linux.

I would not have thought that it would make such a big difference but it must have been triggering some slow path.

Thanks for information.

Really nice update Michael!

Great stuff, Michael, thanks for all the hard work.

I don't use MOI often (I'm mainly polygonal modeller/render guy) but when i do need to use it i always enjoy using/discovering new stuff.

Hello,can people who bought a v4 octane license get access to v5 beta? the problem is that they don't have a license key but they do have a license, what should these people do in this situation?

Hello,

I thought booleans were also involved a lot for filleting that they will be higher on the list ( I have nothing to complain about the actual booleans tho)
Switching those to ACIS will also mean we could have some 'direct' modelling enhancement like moving the cutter solid later in the design ? Or is that an other history based mechanics ?

There will be a separate v5 beta build for octane users that will be available in their account page.

I'll get that set up for the next beta release, there will be a new release soon with a bunch of bug fixes.

it's for this bundle ?
