Hi Frederik,

re:

You can use the Merge command for that:
https://moi3d.com/4.0/docs/moi_command_reference10.htm#merge

Select the whole object, type the Tab key to put focus in the bottom XYZ input, then type Merge <enter> and those fragmented edges will be combined.


> I’ve tried creating Closed Curves from the edge outlines, but I can’t seem to use them to generate a Fillet.

A curve is its own separate object, it isn't connected to the solid.

To make a fillet on the solid you need to select edges which are part of the solid, not separate curve objects.

Thanks for explaining curves vs edges. I'm starting to understand the modeling process better. The Merge command worked great, thanks!
