Hi PILOU,

Take a look at below image:
Edit: And the attached file.

Hi Psygorn,

re:

Sorry I don't know of any script currently available that would automate that selection.

- Michael

And PILOU, sometimes it works without any problem!
Check the attached file.

HI Michael,

Should I make a wish for it? ( On MOI V5 Wish list?) Or it is not doable no matter how hard I wish for it?

Hi Psygorn, you can certainly put in a wish for it. To make an actual script for it I would probably need a more specific description on how it should function and more examples. Otherwise it would be too easy to end up with a script that worked for this particular case but not in others.

- Michael

@ Psygorn
Have you tryed with 123D for example ?
Tested : working! ;) here with different values...

@Pilou

>>In the same order of case...
>>curves must be always on the same plane ?

Not so parametrable as Filet, for non planar curves, you can use the Max's "DelCorners" script.
If you want tune how much your curves will be round, you can use, before "DelCorners", a "Rebuild" (with Pts number) to define it.
Few possibilties for this tuning, but : Tested and it works !

I think it's easier than a blending process which has to be done step by step between 2 curves each time.

Indeed some impredictable but very smooth! :)



here use of Delcorners (but planar) + ExplodeMove


else without Delcorners (but planar)

Hi PILOU, unfortunately not because I don't have 123D on my machine!

look at this post ;)

Hi Michael,

Sorry for my late reply :-)

Here it is what I meant:



Needless to say I have learnt this from my experience with Blender.

Hi PILOU! OH WOOOW,

For some reason I was not able to see your attached image, Now I saw it! It looks amazing :-)

Of course not exactly that you want but you can try this (many sort of selections you can edit that you want)

Hi Psygorn, you might try the scripts on this thread:

Hello all,

I need help from one of you who has access to 123D.

Please take a look at attached STEP file.

my problems:

1- when I import it to 123D design it is huge! ( I don't know how I can set its size) ( I know I can scale it but this is not what I want) Needless to say it is produced in MOI 3D.

2- I tried several times to perform fillet on it I got no fillet! 123D design gave me error!

So, is it possible one of you could check it?

Hi Psygorn, can you post the .3dm model file as well?

The large size might have to do with units being set to meters.

- Michael

Yes ofcourse (but I did not save the original file)

> The large size might have to do with units being set to meters.

I have my "unit systems" at "No unit system" it seems in this situation 123D interpret "No unit system" to meters! :-)

Edit: I just want to do what is depicted in below picture:

Hi Psygorn, I'm not sure that STEP actually has the concept of "no unit system" in it, it would probably be a good idea to set a unit system before sending it.

it would have been good to see the original file before the export, the version you have here isn't a solid, it has some naked edges.

- Michael

Hi Michael,

> the version you have here isn't a solid, it has some naked edges.

I already noticed that! if you take a look at the attached file you will see that I made the object using Shell operation I shelled a joined surface ( Shelling distance = 1) MOI did not give me a solid!

I know the joined surfaces are not matched well but it is created using sweep!

Edit: Sorry, I meant Blend I made the joined surface using Blend command! NOT Sweep.

Blend makes tiny extra edges I don't know why!

What did I do wrong?

Michael I know there are tiny edges that I/Blend might missed selecting when I was trying to connect little surfaces together using Blend mode.

If you take a look at the attached file u can see my explanations.
