Hi Tommy, thanks for letting me know what is going on. It sounds like what you really want is to get the actual NURBS data into XSI. But yeah they need to do some updates to their NURBS code to make that work right, it seems like that part of XSI has been on the shelf and untouched for a long time now.

That is possible to do in theory... Kind of extend the surface in all directions but keep the trim curve region the same. But it would take some work to set it up, I don't have anything all ready to go that handles all the details of it right now.

Thank you for a GREAT product :)

Hey Michael

Apart from the other good stuff, thanks for the "side pane position" option. With dual monitors I can now position the side pane on the left hand monitor. Great. And MoI remembers that set-up next time it opens.

steve i must have missed this one, how can i move the side pane to the other screen (please)?

options-general-sidepane position

yes i have this but it only says left or right. so it doesnt go onto the 2nd screen unless the whole app is on there. unless i am missing something

Hi Dave - if you make the MoI main window so that it is not maximized, you should be able to grab the edge and resize the window so that it is going partway across your 2 monitors, I think that is what Steve was talking about.

yeah just tried that. i will keep it on the one screen for now as my screens are 21" and 20" :)

thanks :)

Hi Dave...just as Michael said. My monitors are also diff sizes but by adjusting the MoI window size it works well...gives a huge MoI work space:)

Hi Michael,

When does this beta run out? I'm using it all the time now and wouldn't really want to go back to V1.

Thanks.

Hi Tony, this one runs until Feb-21, so not imminent.

Great - I'm using a lot for the NaP 50's contest. I'm really liking the new size readout and edit box - use it all the time to resize things to exact dimensions.

Thanks again.
