Hi michael,
thanks for the answer. Yes, I see a 3dm import available in SW.
one other question...can you point me in the direction for an explanation of how to incorporate scripts? I was reading a tutorial of the car on the front page of the MOI gallery and it talks about installing something called a dsub?
Ken

Hi Ken - for installing scripts it can vary depending on the specific type of scripts. Some scripts are meant to be pasted directly into a shortcut key. Other ones are more complex plug-ins that create new commands for MoI to run.

For the kind that creates new commands, to install those you have to unzip the script files, then the files (usually there will be 2 of them, a .htm and a .js file) need to be copied into MoI's \commands sub-folder to make them seen by MoI.

The commands folder is located inside the main installation folder for Windows, like C:\Program Files (x86)\MoI 3.0\commands, and for the Mac right-click on the .app icon and choose "Show package contents" and inside there go to drive_c/moi/commands.

Once the files are copied into the commands folder that makes a new command available to MoI. To trigger the command set up a shortcut key with the command name in the right-hand column that's labeled "command". The command name is the base common name of the .htm and .js files, so for example if the plug-in command has 2 files named NewCommand.js and NewCommand.htm, that makes a command named NewCommand available to MoI and you would put in NewCommand for the shortcut key.

Hi michael,
thanks for the help. I did install the car scripts and those extra buttons. Very cool! And I tried importing a simple file into my solidworks and that worked too. Is keyshot the rendering program of choice?

Keyshot is the more easy render! But not a low price! :)

Hi Ken, that's great! I hope that MoI will be useful for you to use in combination with SolidWorks.

Keyshot is a very good rendering program, just like Pilou mentions above somewhat expensive.

Another one that you might try is SimLab Composer.
