Hi Nick that would actually be pretty good for a flip button! :)

At first though I don't think there will be a button for it, I kind of want to push it off to an auxiliary menu which I don't have set up yet.

But just having it available by shortcut key or by typing in the command name would be helpful for some export situations like this.

Hi Tony, here is a flipped version of that exterior monitor housing.

If you delete the exterior piece in your previous model there, and then do a File/Import of this one, then you should be able to get the right export from the Jan19 beta with that version.

You may run into a few pieces like this though where open surfaces have an opposite "positive" direction when opened with the Jan19 beta, to avoid this previous bug where the same file opened in Rhino (and other software reading the 3dm in directly) could possibly have an opposite "positive" side than what MoI considered the "positive" side (this only applies to open surfaces, closed solids are immune to this).

With the next beta there is a Flip command to fix these up, and if you run into any before then you can post them here or send them to me at moi@moi3d.com and I can send you back a fixed version.

Sorry for the normals confusion, I guess I could revert this fix that causes this, but it is probably a good idea for me keep the fix, which makes it so that MoI won't treat some of these surfaces opposite from what other programs will see when they open that same 3dm file.


This should also be better handled for new objects created with the Jan19 version, as it has a lot better handling for making sure fragments of objects (like pieces trimmed from a solid, or mirrored, etc...) all have the same orientation as the original piece which was not guaranteed before.

Aahh - the perils of using beta software, things change ;-)

Anyway I agree, sounds like the best way to go. I'm only having troubles due to still working on the Brain Amplifier, once that's done any new work will be done with the new system. Thanks for the flipped version.

In the mean time I can either send it to you for flipping or use V1 for export.
