Hi Burr,
I haven't really given it any thought yet, I just started for personal use and I thought I'd share it with the group.

>> I was thinking a "sticky" here in the forum that you could moderate.

That's one Idea, let me have a think about it because of the time factor involved, I haven't any ! ;)
Maybe we wait for some other ideas as well.

Hi Burr, Hi Danny - re: sticky topic - just a quick note - I've generally tried to use the wiki (http://moi3d.com/wiki) to hold links to things as the main kind of "sticky" type mechanism.

If you have something posted that you want other people to find, the best way to make that happen is to put it on the wiki (probably on the Resources page)- I can do it for you or you are certainly welcome to edit the wiki yourself as well.

Michael has mentioned before that the very cheap App, ViaCAD, can often be handy to supplement/compliment MoI.

ViaCAD comes with some 239MB of symbols which can be saved as IGES files and brought into MoI and then extruded to get results as in the attached image.

Hope this proves valuable

Just downloaded and installed and uninstalled ViaCAD. For me it didnt provide anything I'm interested in. MoI has (will have) everything there. It imports 3dm but not export. I exported a boolean op and it showed up in MoI as all original peices. No booleans. I imported Moi and it needed work to get a useable file. It's a cool app but not for me.

I'm going to mow over how I can set up the content thing without burdening Michael. Native Moi 3dm's will be invaluable to the new MoI user Michael targets.

Talk to you later,
Burr

Hi Brian....

"ViaCAD comes with some 239MB of symbols which can be saved as IGES files and brought into MoI and then extruded to get results as in the attached image."

Could you tell me where is the location of the symbols ?

Thanks

In the program files dir is a folder named Symbols. Use open or import ViaCAD.

Archi symbols are in the AEC folder.

C:\Program Files\Punch! Software\ViaCAD 3D V6\Symbols\AEC\Arch Symbols

OK thanks.....

Under ViaCAD top of screen---------Window>Concept Explorer>Symbols> Arch Symbols(A-to-I)

Also, ViaCAD is great at dimensioning your MoI efforts.

Brian

Much Better, Thanks.
