Hi Pilou,

You could do something like that - if you switch the unit system in Moi it will apply a scale for you.

But anyway in this particular case any scaling should not be necessary, I think it's just a matter of luck that the different scaled version did not happen to run into the uv trim curve bug.

With this next upcoming release that particular bug should be fixed. Hopefully there are not too many new ones introduced, we'll see!

Michael <<Hopefully there are not too many new ones introduced>>

It's not in my nature to complain ...and i think you can't expect everything by one software..but i got an old silly question for you Michael:

a simple square 10x10,if i want to fillet r=5 ,it should be done: Not fillet...if i choose 4,99 it works
this happenned with all Moi's versions.I remember Autocad 2000-2005 did it without problems
i changed unit precision settings from 1 to 1,00.same thing..(maybe Moi don't want to share same points of the fillet..)
let you say something about

Well, if you fillet each point individually and not all 4 at once it works.

You're right Stefan...i'd like just two at once,not all 4..no problem !

my compliments for your 3d doodles (linking stars II in blue is really nice)

Hi Mauro - the way curve filleting works is that each curve segment is trimmed by the arc pieces that are generated.

In your particular case there the original curve segment would be trimmed away to nothing at all, so the code that tries to do the trimming gets an error in that case and that's why it does not work.

It should probably not be too difficult to fix up, it just needs a special case added for this particular circumstance. I can change it to just throw out the original curve piece in this case rather than trying to trim it. I've added it to my list of stuff to fix.

In the meantime the easiest workaround is to just draw a circle in a case like this and just delete the square rather than using fillet - the result you are looking for is a full circle, right?

Thanks for reporting it!

Thank you m-dynamics, much appreciated!

Ok, the new beta is out there: http://moi3d.com/beta.htm?rev=k

Main new stuff is - updated Solids++ geometry library to the latest version, mostly various bug fixes but please also be on the lookout for any regressions (things that used to work previously but don't anymore after the update).

Updates to the Construct > Network command - fixed bug that tended to cause little lumps in the network and are also now some options that you can adjust to control the network behavior to choose to get a lighter but less accurate result if you want.

The Mac OSX version should now be working ok on OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion, please let me know if you see any problems launching this version on Mountain Lion, it should be ok now though.

I will start a new thread with a proper announcement in a bit.

- Michael

Cool :)

I posted a silly example,but there are also many situations when you got already modeled complex solids and need to fillet two squared profiles like the example

let me say you how i found useful new tool -ISO- for extracting isocurves from a surface.This is not only a quick way to cut a surface but also to refine or rebuilt it switching from sweep to network or loft
there is an half a month i'm working on a heavy and difficult model,and still need another one to finish,sometime i believed to surrender...without ISO tool i couldn't do some surfaces
thank you Michael
