Hi Michael:

Again happiness for your great work

I insist that MOI if it works in the footwear with the current tools and those that you added in the future if we will be able to him to make.

In my example it uses swept by two rails but in marked area it doesn't make the operation like I need. will it be necessary to add control profiles or control points?.


Best regards

Hi Juan - I'm not sure but it looks like it may be a display issue.

Can you check your settings under Options / View / Meshing parameters - set Mesh angle to 10, and check "Add detail to inflections". That may clear up the display.

If not, can you please post the .3dm model file so I can take a closer look?

Hi All...

Very interesting how MoI will help footwear designer.
Let`s see what moi can do...
Come on moi .... !!! You Can !!!

Hi Michael:

Thanks for their attention:

This model is designed directly in a last (model)
the problem that I find is the profile that doesn't give the required definition
in a future to include tools for modeling similar to Power Shape

The mesh requirements are I eat up you indicate it

Best regards

Hi Juan - it does appear to be a problem with the display, not the actual surface.

The mesher for exporting does a more careful job than the display mesher and it is able to display this part of the surface correctly - here I have saved to an OBJ file and set the display option on the Meshing options dialog to Display: Shaded :



So any polygon export, or surface export to .3dm or .igs data will actually have the correct data in it - it is the graphical display that is wrong in this case.

I actually have a shortcut key set up for "SaveAs c:\test.obj", so I can use the export mesher to check if something I see is a display error or actually in the surface.


The groove in this case is created by the position of just one control point in the profile:



In this case the display mesher is kind of missing that groove - if you insert more than one point in that area it will might be able to pick it up and display it a little better.

There will be some things I can do to improve the display mesher, but I have to be very careful not to slow it down as well, so it will take a fair amount of testing work to try and fix this. I will have to save this example off for a while and work on the fix at a later time.

Hi Michael:

Thank you for your attention:

In this case I want to understand that it is a superficial appreciation and that this well the design when returning to the normal way the defect is appreciated in the surface.

Hi Juan,

> In this case I want to understand that it is a superficial appreciation

Yes, this is correct - the defect is in the display only.


> and that this well the design when returning to the normal way the defect is appreciated in the surface.

I'm sorry, I'm not quite understanding this part - could you please explain it in a different way?
