Hi Rob, yeah groups have been postponed until v3.

> Will that be high on the priority list for V3 development?

Yup.

The Insect Toll is damn cool!!!
Thanks a lot!

Hi Michael
Great tool! It works with planar too (some interresting effects if large separate height).
With a solid, if separate height bigger the object thickness it nicely cut the solide
(or add a solid if grooved)... etc.
Possibilities are endless.
Bravo!

:) cool

>Hi Rob, yeah groups have been postponed until v3.

Michael, like the inset tool and good to hear that v2 is nearly done. As I was only here for the very end of v2 beta, I am curious as to how you will approach v3. Perhaps I got the wrong end of the stick but it seems like you had a pretty open beta for v2 for almost a couple of years and for a lot of that time it was close to production-ready.

Will it be something like:

-V2 docs completed, v2 ships
-Holiday!
-Planning for next version
-Six months later, v3 rolling beta starts
-New functions added bit by bit over 6-12 months
-New functions frozen
-Final bug fixes, tidy up docs and ship v3

Or will it be more conventional sort of approach i.e. we wait 18 months and suddenly one day a fairly complete v3 appears with a frozen feature set and the package is shipped after 3 months of beta testing?

Regards
Dan

Can't wait to get home tonight and download it!

I was about to report a boolean bug, but it's indeed fixed with this new release.

The 'secret' insert tool is super cool, what a nice addition.

Cheers

Once again you amaze us Michael... Great update!
David

Even from me, impressive development.
Thank you Michael. :)

Hi Michael

thanks the inset is a great tool, works well, i havent found any problems. I still cant believe how rock solid MoI is compared to most other software.

most of the frame for the pc box was also an inset expanded outwards then chamfered. Really cool to have this in V2.

regards

Jamie

Thank you ! very nice inset tool.. I did a great choice with MoI. so cool! ^^

People really DO want to wait for quality software! Congratulations.

There are 3 names now as people posts.. its our choice - insect - insert or maybe inset ;) I prefer insect!

No other software I use where I sit down with a new version, rubbing my hands together saying "holy cow!"

I think I actually said "Jee Williker's". :o

What did you say Danny? I imagine something like "fiddle me winket's!"

"Eureka" works!

Drat! A new beta and no time to work with it.

But, nice job Michael. Nearly there now :-)

>There are 3 names now as people posts.. its our choice - insect - insert or maybe inset ;) I prefer insect!

I agree, 'Insect Toll' is where its at. Insects, get out your wallets!

Thanks everyone, it looks like the new Insect toll is a hit! (I guess that's better than "buggy tool") ;)

So far things are looking in good shape for wrapping up v2.

I said insect because the fun .. and not because the relation with bugged tool.. for me the tool is perfect! (just clarifying)

> I said insect because the fun

Yup, I got a laugh out of it! I think the original mention of insect looked like some kind of auto-correct going wrong...
