Hi Marc, I had been thinking of an .ini switch for that since it seems like something you would want to set once and then leave it that way (if that was how you expected booleans to generally work with styles) rather than something you would be switching on and off again all the time.

Hi Michael,

You're probably right, a .ini switch would do the trick. I imagine It would not change that much in work situation.
I would have imagined it as a special condition, like: 'ok this time I want to use the 'apply style' on this operation'.

This is a great feature but for the kind of work I do those days, it would be an exception for me.

No big deal there, just small workflow details.

Sometime l wish other software were written in the spirit you handle this project!
I just think of photoshop's 1.2gb installer and I don't feel well.

Moi is really one of the great computing experience I've had.

Thanks!


Marc

Hi Marc, I'll try to think about that a little bit more.

I was thinking of possibly doing this option specifically for the booleans, but there are also other situations that can result in a multi-style solid like Join... So maybe it should be a more general kind of option that affects all solids that are created.

Also another way to get a multi-style solid is to just select one face out of the solid and set its style to something else. I don't think that I will try to disallow this one though.

Hi Michael, like I've said it's no big deal and it may not be worth it if a lot of work is involved.

Thanks,

Marc

Just noticed that the options pallet for export of OBJ now has a scale factor! Is that new to the Jun-23 beta or have I just been sleeping!

No need to keep swapping out my units! SWEET!

-AW

Hi AW - actually that OBJ scale factor option has been in there since MoI version 1.

I'm glad that it will be useful!

- Michael

What on earth have been doing - sheesh! Deduct 10 points for not paying attention...here I was changing units every time I got ready to export!
Sheesh!

So far so good with the latest beta (not sure that carries any weight with my latest observation), and as always Michael great job!

Hi Michael,

Can PointObjects have a styles color as well next time?

Hi Paolo,

> Can PointObjects have a styles color as well next time?

I'll see what I can do about that.

- Michael

Hi Michael,

Just realised that there is a new beta. Great stuff. Will be downloading tonight.

Just wondering, has there been any progress implementing groups?

Hi Mark,

> Just wondering, has there been any progress implementing groups?

No, not quite yet - still have a couple of the very last details relating to styles in progress first.

- Michael

Is groups something that will make it into V2 final Michael?

Hi Mark, I'm not quite 100% sure about that but I'm going to try.

If it ends up taking too long it may need to get postponed until v3 but I won't really know that until I dig into it some.

- Michael

I really hope you can get groups in V2 - that is one of the things that is really needed for complex model organisation. To be honest, in some ways, I would rather have groups than colours.

Even simple groups, if you can't get all the bells and whistles done in time, would be great.
