MOI suggestion

Hi, I just discover MOI and let me tell you, it has by far, the most intuitive interface that that I have handled, congratulations for a great program.
As for my suggestion, it would be very practical (at least it's for me) to have a way to "isolate" a particular piece in order to edit it, like the "isolate selection" in 3D Max.

Hi Ket...

There is any hide / show command on MoI.
Look at this :

BTW, solidworks have a nice "isolate" too....

Regards,
Lish

Hi Ket, I'm glad that you like MoI!

Yes, like Lish mentions you can use Hide to get that same effect in MoI.

Actually what you would do is select the object you want to isolate, then run Select / Invert, then Hide.

It is possible to gather the Invert and Hide together on a script macro assigned to a shortcut key so you can do an isolate with one action.

To do that, go to Options / Shortcut keys, and add in a new entry. Assign whatever key you want (like i or ctrl+i), and for the command paste in this:

code:
script:moi.geometryDatabase.invertSelection(); moi.geometryDatabase.hide(true);


Now that key will work as an isolate function.


To show all objects, click Edit / Hide twice. The first click of Edit/Hide will show you the hidden objects and allow you to pick just one or a few of them to show. If you don't pick any and just click a second time all will be shown.

Petr has collected some other useful script macros on his page here: http://kyticka.webzdarma.cz/3d/moi/ .
