Hey Mark,
Just put MoI on a usb stick and walk into his office and launch MoI from the thumb drive and make something cool really quick. Watch his eye's light up and buy everybody in the company a seat. (Do your modeling on the plane, in a boat, while at lunch and afloat. Do your modeling, in the car, in a hotel or a bar......Doctor!!!!!!

Burrman,
I think you have a little Dr Seuss in you!! :)

One of my favorites!

My two cents guys,

I use MoI almost every day at work off of the USB stick. I could not do without it!

Love the work Michael G.!

Thanks for a great tool!

Hi there

I use Moi as a companion to Mastercam and a 7 axis milling machine.
Moi is great for modification of geometry, and creating sections and checking the shape of things.

The new 3d silhouette function is fantastic for pinpointing undercuts!
I find it really useful.

Best,
Fredrik

Hello,

I am agree that MoI is suitable as combination with another MCAD software.
We wish Michael can also improve MoI in the future for this area :

- 2D Drawing + Detailing
- Advance Assembly Tools

Time will tell :)

Thanks !

In my opinion, there are enough of 2d drafting tools out there.
I would rather like to see a continuation of new 3d features that you don't find very many other places, like the silhouette, sweep with scaling rail, N-gon meshing.
A feature I could imagine be useful is a kind of "ridge detector", that would draw a spline on the areas of highest mean curvature.

Se pic of meancurvature from rhino. Here I used Rhinos Meancurvature to find ridges. A feature that could single out convex and concave ridges would be helpful for building models from 3d-scanned objects (meshes). I think it can be useful for planning how to build a nurbs model from a mesh in general. The ridge areas tell you where to start and end fillets ans small blend surfaces that often define edges of objects.
This might be a silly idea, and it may also require a lot of effort to make it work properly, but I think it can be useful.

Will be fun seeing what Michal has up his sleeve. I am at least always surprised by the good features he continuosly adds, - things that just seem natural and simple to use once they are there in that sleek UI,..

That's a great idea, and talking about scan data I believe that is along the lines what Rapidform and Geomagic uses in their reverse engineering products when you're semi-automatically rebuilding the model. Fully automatic is just a kind of dumb random layout I think that just gets the job done.
