Hi All, just recently discovered MOI (looks cool), but am a total novice at this and any other CAD program. I need to plot a bunch of points describing airfoil upper and lower curves from some data I cooked up. What I have is what amounts to a series of x, y coordinates that describe significant parts of two curves. What I'm hoping to accomplish is plotting these points somehow and then letting MOI more or less smooth or somehow turn each of those series of points into two seperate curves representing the upper and lower parts of a basic airfoil that I can then Give a bit of width to, add some strategic notches for Balsa stringers and so on, hopefully ending with an object I can then somehow export into an stl file I can print with my 3d printer to have a nice template I can use repeatedly to fabricate all of the ribs needed for a glider.
THigns I've tried that haven't netted me success:
1. Use polyline in the hopes that at each point I might be able to adjust the x,y coordinates relative to the origin: don't look like I can make those sorts of adjustments via any kind of dialog. Will I need to manually try and place the points?
2. I didn't see Any sort of point draw object. Thoguth about using circles, but that struck me as not what I'd want ot do as points != circles.
Anyone have any suggestions on how I might better approach this or similar tasks where I have raw x, y coordinates (relative to 0,0 origin) and want to get a curve out of that?
