Hi Will - since you can already make a pipe by a pretty quick sequence of drawing a circle and then using sweep, I'm not really sure that it belongs as another top level menu item...
It helps to keep the UI streamlined if I don't have additional menu items that only replicate what can already be done with just a small number of steps with the already existing functions.
But if you really want to have a pipe on that menu, you can change the UI on your current copy of MoI to have it though.
To do that, close down MoI, then open up the SidePane.htm file in a text editor like notepad. You can find the SidePane.htm file in the \ui subfolder underneath MoI's main installation folder.
Scroll down until you find the section with <table id="DrawSolidTabContent">
Within this section there is an empty <td></td> - fill this in with a button for Pipe, like this:
code:
<td><moi:CommandButton command="pipe">Pipe</moi:CommandButton></td>
Then when you start up MoI there will be a Pipe button for you on that Draw Solid menu.
You will also have needed to install that custom Pipe command as well of course ( http://kyticka.webzdarma.cz/3d/moi/#Pipe).
Maybe in the future I will add this in by default, I'm not quite sure. But you don't have to wait for me, you can add it in right now on your own copy with the above steps if you want. Let me know if you have any problems setting it up.
- Michael
