I think the option to assign colors is a good idea.

Looking forward to a properties panel. I had a 2D shape that failed to obtain end caps during extrude. I was sure I had closed my curves with "blend" but one very, very small gap existed. I could have used a dialog to tell me the shape was not closed.

Renato,
Awesome with all booleans. Dont forget to check out the sweep and loft tools in MoI.

The same thing can be done by using loft with 4 circles.




I pick the bottom, then top down, then choose loft. Choose straight as a style. and chamfer your edges. (dont forget to erase the original circles)

BurrMan,

That´s a nice way to do it, I like when something can be done in a different way, there is a lot of different possibilities.

I used Loft in the first piece, using 2 circles. But I don´t know if doing only with Loft it would really be the same. The tip of the cone is like a little sphere, but it can be done after using the loft, so no big deal. But I used a sphere with Boolean Diff to make the concavity, if you use Loft for that wouldn´t it be a base of a cone? A cone upside down without its top?

Anyway, I liked the idea.
I´m trying to make more objects to learn more of each tool. As I said, I´ve no previous experience in 3D modeling so while I´m exploring MoI I´m also exploring 3D modeling... hehehe...
I just hope that when I give a try in Rhino, for exemple, it doesnt feel too strange or difficult... lol...

Next thing I´m going to try to make is a Wi-Fi USB adapter, my mouse, my cellphone... All the objects around me... hehehe... I hope that by the end of the month I´m able to make more complex things, the problem and the dilemma is: not be able to save or just have 30-day trial... cuz if I have to turn the computer off or Windows decide to stop working [like it does sometimes... bad temper... ] I´ll have to start it again... lol...

Yes Renato. I suppose I just dont pay close enough attention. Just passing on my excitement as I am learning MoI along with you. I hope you can save up and Buy MoI and then we can swap stuff as we chat. Good luck with the surrounding items!

Talk to you later,
Burr
