Hi Burr,

I had not really thought about that, but it should not be too hard to add a moi.ini setting for that. Something like:

[Settings]
MaxProcessMemoryUseGB=12

- Michael

That would probably be a good setting to have....

Thanks again!

Hi Burr, that memory limit setting will be in the next beta. It will be for Windows only though, I can't seem to find a way to do it on Mac.

- Michael

So righteous! Thanks!

Hi Michael.

Hi Vladimir, thanks for reporting these bugs.

I can repeat the command button staying stuck on, I should be able to fix that for the next beta.

I can't repeat the Text one though, so the problem is that you get 0 by default for those 2 values? EDIT: it was a locale dependent bug that's why it wasn't happening here.

Thanks, - Michael

Hi Vladimir, ok I see why I can't repeat the text one, it's because it was a locale dependent bug. This should be fixed now for the next beta, thanks!

- Michael

Hi Michael. I'm late with the answer and still answer. This error arises from the first beta. If you remember I wrote to you about the script Rebuild so Maksim Smirnov checked it on Mac and Windows and it manifests itself only in Windows.
Vladimir.

Thanks Vladimir, now I finally understand about the Rebuild problem too - yes it's this same issue. Since the bug was triggered only if your operating system locale uses commas for the decimal separator it wasn't happening here and I thought you were talking about a different thing then.

It will be fixed for the next beta and should fix the default values for both Rebuild and Text commands and possibly others.

Hi,

I've try to import a Stp-file from Solid Works to Moi, but it's dosn't work.
The import process is stopped without a message and i get an empty scene.
The file is 192mb big. I try the newest build from Moi 4.0 beta Nov 27.
smaller files are imported witout problems.

The import to Rhino works fine.

Best regards
Jörg

Hi Michael,

Conrcerning the memory limit on Mac, there might be a hint there :

Hi Michael

Have you any idea how i can bypass my virus scanning to enable me to install v4.0 beta?

Avast says its a virus and will get back to me

Hi Jörg,

re:

Is it possible for you to send me the file? With a file that large you'd need to use a file sharing service like dropbox or OneDrive and send me a link at moi@moi3d.com . There isn't much I can do without being able to test the file over here, I will keep any file you send me private and confidential.

Thanks, - Michael

I've also seen a lot of people saying that ulimit is not working as it's supposed to on Mac as well though. I guess I can give it a try though.

Sorry I'm not familiar with Avast so I don't know what you do specifically but usually there is some way in the Anti-Virus program's UI to allow overrides to enable specific programs to run.

So unfortunately that's running ulimit from the shell, not using the version that's callable from inside of a program.

See here:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3274385/how-to-limit-memory-of-a-os-x-program-ulimit-v-neither-m-are-working

And here:
https://developer.apple.com/legacy/library/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man3/ulimit.3.html

"The ulimit() function will get and set process limits. Currently, this is limited to the maximum file size."

It appears that it may be possible to limit max process memory size for all processes by setting some system initialization settings, since that's a system wide thing it doesn't really make sense for MoI to try and alter that on its own.

So as far as I can tell there isn't any way set up on the Mac for an individual process to limit the amount of memory that the OS will give it.

I`ve found that Object Snap "on surface" doesn`t work in 3d window. There is no tooltip also as it is in v3 on other snaps in 3d window (which show what snap is it - please look on attachment).

Hi Michael,

I will send you a file on monday, when I'm back in our office.

I've send it to you via Wetransfer :)

Yes text display inside of viewports has not been implemented quite yet, I'll be working on that after getting the bug fix list pared down first.

I can't repeat the "on surface" problem over here, is it possibly just confusing at the moment without any labels being shown yet?
