You grasped a concept that my simple brain missed--can I blame it on age?

Michael.
Michael, as your images show, selecting a plane gives fillets on all edges--which was not as I wanted!

Why not complain/comment before?---when do I know the fault is not mine?

I am reminded of the wow tutes by Thomas about Hexagon, which as far as I can see no-one has yet emulated. (Most "crash"!) As Thomas said, he had a team designing the programme to his ideas!

We all dont have the same thought train or app backgrounds, so some will , naturaly, be slow like me.

However, I make a point (?) that some of the basic MoI concepts may be "un-natural" to some and may need highlighting if they can not be changed in V2.

How do you highlight those "different" things in the, very first, introduction to the app? Now theres a puzzle!
(Hidden in a tute is not sufficient maybe?)

Well, it certainly is true that it is generally helpful for you trying to work things out for yourself before bringing it up.

But at the same time if you keep running into it or it is taking a significant amount of time, please do bring it up.

It's important for me to know what things people find confusing.

And for instance in this case it didn't take long to clear it up...

I certainly agree with your point!

I don't generally expect for 1.0 to be perfectly natural in all operations to all people from all different backgrounds. That's pretty much impossible...

But I can make improvements as time goes on though!

Yes, that is the difficult thing to figure out. The other major complicating factor is that the things that are different change depending on your particular background.

I think that tutorials are probably the most straightforward solution though - for example if I had a tutorial that did some extrusions and filleting that might have been able to cover this a bit more since extrusions tend to have the curves overlapping the generated objects more so than the commands I happened to use in the other tutorials.

In the future I would like to do some more tutorials and I can try to cover this with them.
