Hi Burr, I can certainly see how it was a kind of "what the heck?" type thing... :) But yes at the same time actually a good example of several of the mechanisms in MoI.

Probably the weirdest part was the cube kind of popping up.

History updates can sometimes make for surprising changes when you edit the original shapes. That's why they are not turned on universally for all operations, especially some more basic building block type commands like rotate and copy can lead to these kind of surprises when objects change when you edit the originals if you were not really thinking of the link between them.

But when it is not turned on then there can be a problem where it is not really that obvious to someone how to activate the link for doing things like adjusting a revolve by editing the original curve's control points.

So that's why in MoI history is enabled by default for just a certain set of commands, mostly surfacing commands like extrude and revolve.

Damned I had not keept the 3Dm ...but...refound a new example!
Jut a Solid Cube
a sphere at the corner
Boolean Diff
Fillet 0.2

Exactly same result than mine above!
don't works for the selections shown???
Beta 2.0 21 September 2008
I don't take care of the sphere's pole!)

Edit: Seems that is something like that!
I rotate the sphere and that works!
The problem is that the default drawing of the sphere is on the false position ;)

Hi Pilou, yes that is a bug in the filleter where it is getting confused about how to trace the fillet rails in that situation when the sphere's pole is in that particular alignment.

I was able to fix this up for the next beta release though, so that your posted example will work properly in the next update.

I've also made some adjustments so that the filleter will try not to fail entirely if there was a problem with one particular area.

Thanks for posting the example file!

Hi Michael,

After installing the new september version i had this type of error window, unable to reach a fonction shortkey like Pipe or distance, autorotate. Others shortkeys are ok !. . Do you know from where come this problem ? I have desinstalled all other version of MOI ... i have this problem with other versions installed too.

When i hit the P tab for exemple for pipe, a window appear with " Erreur d'execution Microsoft jscript": 'pipe' is indefini ".line 0 column 0.

Thanks.

Pierre.

Does it mean i have to reinstall all scripts ?

Bonjour Pierre, yes that means you have a keyboard shortcut that is calling a custom command that is not installed.

Currently when you install a custom command such as Pipe, Autorotate, etc... - those get copied into the \commands subfolder underneath MoI's main installation folder.

When you install a new beta release, it goes into its own new installation folder, and its new \commands subfolder does not have that custom command in it.

So you will need to copy those command files (usually there are 2 of them, one .htm and one .js file) into the \commands folder in the new installation to make them work.

Shortcut keys are defined in the moi.ini file which is located in a separate centralized place (under c:\Documents and Settings) than the main installation, so those definitions and settings will automatically persist between installations.

- Michael

Maybe I miss that somewhere...
Is it possible to see unity after numbers on the input box barre bottom or these one are too small?
Say "13.00 cm" when Centimeters is input as General Options

Hi Pilou, no currently there is no way to see unit labels on input boxes, unless you use feet&inches units which has the foot and inch marks as part of the numeric display.

I've thought some about adding that, but it is somewhat difficult for me to add stuff to the bottom bar without a fair amount of testing since it is close to being full on some configurations like a 1024x768 screen...

It's possible to add it, but it is something that I have to approach a bit carefully.
