Hi okapi, it won't be much longer before I start on the object organizing system. That's going to be a focus for the second beta.

I've just wrapped up the work on the editing frame, and I have a couple other things I want to add in for the first beta release. So that shouldn't be much longer.


re: export and import capabilities - are there any other specific things that you are looking for in export and import capabilities other than keeping layer/grouping type information in place?


The object organizing system is going to be a pretty big piece of work, it will probably span a few beta releases to work on it. The early ones will probably be focused on just the UI and general approach and not quite have the import/export stuff working yet until the overall approach is finalized.

- Michael

hi Michael,

well one important thing is that the layer structure be kept somehow upon export,
so if exporting OBJ, that the exported meshes are grouped in a similar way as in Moi.


AS far as import goes, this may altogether be another piece of work,
but it would be good to have at least a dxf import (since DWG is propietary), in order to bring in CAD plans into moi.
I know there is a DXF to 3md utility; could this not be automated in moi, so that if one tries to open a DXF in moi,the dxf is transformed into a 3dm file (ideally with layer order), and then opened in moi.

This is exactly my thought as well, except I would like to see both DXF in and DXF out. This would then allow both import and output to and from the 2D CAM softwares I play with. If MoI could handle 2D work in this manner, I would have no use for any other drawing software. Keep up the great work!
