Hi Pierre, again I'm sorry MoI is just not currently targeted at being a CNC curve processing program, it is focused on doing modeling operations and you will probably need to find a different program that is focused on these particular kinds of CNC processing tasks instead of MoI, at least until the future at some point when someone else may be able to add more CNC focused commands into MoI as a plugin.

Given all the things that you really want it to do such as labeling, etc... I just don't think that I will be able to get anywhere close to the stuff that you have been asking about anytime soon.

I'm not quite sure, I have not been able to work on the orient tool yet so I'm not quite sure yet exactly how it will turn out. But probably this will only work if the contours are all together on the same plane.

Maybe it will be possible for me to add in enough stuff so that a custom script command can be made that will be able to use some of the re-orienting tools in a more automated process like you want, but I'm not quite sure yet how much work that would take.


> - an option to project contours only on ground plan ?

Could you please describe this one some more? You can use the Construct / Curve / Project command to project a curve on to a surface, does that help any?

Hello Michael,

I don't want to make MOI a CNC software but open it to an another (customers) community with just a nice script !

Two "automatics" actions in the same script :
- 1 The Z of the contour (or a contours group) in space 3D selected will become Z=0. (is What i call "on the ground plane" )
- 2 Contour (or a contours group) selected in space will be re-oriented to became "flat"(without dimensions distorsions) on the X and Y plan.

That' all !. If someone could explain the job with the existing project tool, it is ok for me !. i don't have good results with curve/projection tool.

Bye,

Pierre.

PS : Pour Frenchy Pilou : Il s'agit à travers un script et de la selection d'un contours dans l'espace 3D de le projeter à plat sur le plan XY avec un Z=O !. Ce n'est pas la mer à boire pour rassembler la communauté CNC autour de MOI...non ?

With only one selection 2 clicks, one rotation seems you obtain that you want ?

Seems a script can do that? (Rotate all selection, and the Scale 1D will be same result)

Thanks Frenchy Pilou for this illustration !.
Some détails concerning the script close to your proposition :

- In fact, i just need contours to be projected, not surfaces.
- Possibility to rotate a group of contours in the same time : interest of a script.
- Possibility to rotate on 0,X,Y plane(ground) contours which are not in the X,Z or Y,Z plan (your exemple show object in the Y,Z plan, axes behind object make me think about it).

Bye,

Pierre.

PS : I could pay for this script if someone is interested !(around 50 Euros ).

In fact when you have your contours any rotates axis toward any plan takes one second by hands ;
No need script for that ;)

I am not sure of the Scale 1D ! I suppose vertices are stacked on a same positions but always exist?
Maybe this can be produce problem?
Depending of what is the folowing next step?
