What will be the price? JT translators can be quite expensive.

The price will be:

> Hello Ralf,

> Thank you for your interest in CAD Exchanger.
> At this point, GUI and CLI (Command Line Interface) applications are available for free download.
> The final pricing policy has not been defined yet, but we consider even going for free.
> Anyway the major revenue stream is SDK licenses, so that should be fine.

> If you have any particular interest please let me know....

Hi,
i need a cad-converter for stp-files to obj for Cinema 4D.
I read the information about moi3d and CAD Exchanger.
But i dont know which is better for me.
Which one do you prefer or suggest?

Hi Orhan, you'll get the best information if you test each one yourself. You can get the MoI v3 30-day trial version from the downloads section of http://moi3d.com . There are a lot of improvements coming for MoI v4 though which will be out before the end of this year. V3 does have the ability to generate high quality n-gon meshes instead of only triangle meshes though. Test it by opening up your stp file and then doing a SaveAs to .obj format, then load the .obj file into Cinema4D.

- Michael

Hi Michael,
thank you for your fast answer. The "generate high quality n-gon meshes isntead of only triangle meshes.." sounds good,
because often triangle polygons bring problems. In moi3d you can edit how much polyons / quality of the mesh you need?

I tried the v3 version before for a short time, but the trial version is ended before i could test it much.

If i buy the v3 now, get i the v4 in the next months?

best regards

Orhan

Hi Orhan,

Yes, you can adjust a slider to make either a higher density or lower density mesh, the controls are described here:
http://moi3d.com/3.0/docs/moi_command_reference11.htm#meshdialog


> I tried the v3 version before for a short time, but the trial version is ended
> before i could test it much.

If you e-mail me at moi@moi3d.com I can get you a new 30 day trial set up.


> If i buy the v3 now, get i the v4 in the next months?

I'm sorry I don't know yet - when v4 is released there will be an automatic update available for people who purchased v3 within a couple of months or so before the final release but that will be retroactive from the final release and I don't have a final release date set yet. We could be a little bit outside that grace period right now.

You would be able to use the v4 beta release right away though.

- Michael

Hi Michael,
i have tested moi3d and compared with other CAD software.
And moi3d is very good and user-friendly. Above all the option "export n-gons" with various density mesh (low/high polygons).
The exported .obj files are qualitative well for Cinema 4D.

I can recommend it for Cinema 4D User!!! :)

Thank you.

Best regards

Orhan
