Trying out Moi3D, struggling with chamfer

Hi,

I'm testing Moi3D, and I'm liking it so far.
One thing I really struggle with, is the fillet / chamfer tools.
Sometimes it seems impossible to get clean results with Moi3D, though the same object in Plasticity gives perfect results.
Is this a Moi3D limitation? If so, that would be too bad, as aside to this issue, I like Moi3D, and I was considering purchasing it.

Below, two screenshots about the same object in Moi3D, and in Plasticity, showing the chamfer issue.

Any hints?

Hi verysame, can you please post the .3dm model file with your object instead of only a screenshot? It's hard to figure out what might be going wrong by just looking at a screenshot, I need to be able to examine your model geometry.

In general the geometry library used by Plasticity is more sophisticated than the one used by MoI though.

Thanks, Michael

I didn't save the 3DM file, but only the STP version, hope that's also fine.

In case, file attached.

Hi verysame, there was a regression bug in chamfering in v4 which is fixed in the current v5 beta which can now chamfer this ok, here it is in the v5 beta:



In v4 fillet is not affected by the regression, you should be able to fillet those edges:





Also in v4 if you include these other edges it should also be able to chamfer ok with a corner juncture patch being made:

Thank you so much, Michael

That helped.

Still have quite some time for the trial, but I'm starting getting the hang of it, and the more I use it, the more I like it.

If I may ask, is there going to be some sale at some point throughout the year?

Thanks

It's not likely - I have never had a sale on MoI so far.
