Ok !
But why solids are losted and just saved as STL ?
It's not possible to keep them on the screen as normal 3dm volumes for make any functions?
It's very frustrating! :)

here C : I have tested with any forms of profiles :)
Error messages when profils are not vertical!

Hi Pilou,

> But why solids are losted and just saved as STL ?

Because that's what was requested for the plug-in to do, to just generate an STL file. It is to help someone who only wants to generate an STL file and not do any other kinds of modeling.

But if you want it's easy to modify it to keep the objects and not generate an STL file automatically. To do that, edit the MakeRing.js file in a text editor. Near the end of the file are 2 lines that have this:

code:
	SaveSTLFile();
	
	RemoveObjects();


If you delete or comment out these 2 lines then the objects will be kept. Commenting out means to put // at the front of the line like this:

code:
	//SaveSTLFile();
	
	//RemoveObjects();

Ed specified earlier in this thread that the profiles were to be planar in the Front view, see here: http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=8370.9

So the plug-in is only designed to work with those kinds of profiles, it's normal to get an error if your profiles do not match that requirement.

Michael - Your script works great! Thank you very much.

I'll make some 3D prints this weekend and get the shrinkage factor dialed in. Photos to follow.

In the meantime I'll send you an email this evening - I'd like to send you a token of appreciation.

- Ed
