hi michael sometimes its like "who reads the manual"

On further exploration...I think the native one from inside moi is maybe the best of all,
it certainly looks the most interactive one, loads of hyperlinks on it, cant believe i never saw it this way....

maybe a lot of people also miss this excellent 'interactive help' built into moi

e.g.
you pick a tool like "box" then click the blue help icon



and you will get local context sensitive help...with a url like:

file:///C:/Program%20Files/MoI%205.0%20beta%20Apr-27-2026/docs/moi_command_reference.htm#box

EDIT:
@Michael, just for observation and not wanting to be padantic, but for V5 or future update could you please consider
to edit this introductory 'help' part text here @ #5 - https://moi3d.com/4.0/docs/moi_introduction.htm#commands

The current text is:
5. Options / Help. The little arrow button next to the Help button controls whether
MoI displays as full screen or not, covering up the Windows taskbar (Windows version only). The Browser button will show or hide the Scene browser panel which lets you work with a list of different kinds of object categories.

Might want to read first:
Help opens the manual on the index page, but if you select a tool first it will be context sensitive ( takes you to information on that command/tool/feature).
Options....[does as written]..

even here its not telling me about help being so context-helpful...
/moi_command_reference.htm#help
"Launches the help file. When moving over the help button, you can use the arrow that appears above it to open the About dialog to show version information."

Hi Zooen,

re:
> In addition, there are navigation links that allow you to quickly access all
> the reference commands, among other things.

Links are intentionally omitted in the PDF version because the purpose of the PDF version is for making a printout.

The main HTML version of the introduction section of the help file has links:
https://moi3d.com/4.0/docs/moi_introduction.htm

- Michael

Hi Zooen, im interested in reading some of your own sections that you mentioned as im self taught in #cad#
whereas i bet you also have new angles and approaches on things as well.

I think a future learning resource would be a few (new) videos by the experts, on the (new) features
of V5. I know i know there is stuff on youtube, but its pretty dispersive, and sometimes I do not believe
all being taught is "the way" or "the only way"...maybe we need an index here somewhere...
should have the MOI3D pros vote them first maybe. Thats me excluded then ;o)

I particularly liked this guy cadence and approach, wish he'd have done a few more:
MoI Help Videos Playlist


The fault of many of the videos is people showing you howto use a tool or how fast they are
but not showing what tool is used, or "pressed"...
