Greetings,

I have long used Max Smirnov's CVolume script. It's such a great addition to MoI, hopefully Max will not mind that I added some electrical densities to the script and am posting it here.

As I installed the latest MoI beta v5 I thought maybe someone else would benefit from this or just the knowledge on how to modify the table so that they could customize it for their needs.

To use this script:
1. Unzip the file
2. Copy the two files to your MoI (4 or 5) "commands" folder
3. Add a shortcut key for the script:



I intended to show the code I added to the _CVolume3.htm file but it doesn't display well for me in the forum. So, I recommend a text editor such as MS Visual Studio Code or Notepad++ (both free). My changes to the table start at line 500. As you will see it is quite easy to insert your own data into the script.

Also if you look at the script in an editor you can see that I moved the default from Steel to Aluminum by changing which material line contains "selected" before "value"

Hope this is useful,
David

Hi David,

Thanks for the updated script!

Did you try wrapping it in <code></code> tags? That usually works pretty well for me, like here: http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=11011.1

Hi Peer,

Thanks for the tip, I was unfamiliar with the tags. They make a big difference for the viewer!

The lines I added were simply data for more materials starting at line 501.

The "optgroup label" is the category name
The "option value" number is Kg/m^3 which is followed by the material name.

Note: in some cases the values I've added are average values for a class of material. There are so many manufacturers with custom items that the list would become unnecessarily long for a very insignificant density delta in most cases.
