What speedy method(s) can be used for make the same in Moi3D ?
On 5 sides (side bottom is not necessary) and same unity on each sides (say 1 )
Grooves on lines (or faces) selected... function Inset don't give exactly the same result...
but surrerely can be used for some steps...
Ideal will be draw lines then Gooves are made ! :)
Of course for some lines in the same time because one by one is some painful ;)
Some beginning ideas.. but here only one line! :)
(not moved of 1 for more visible groove)
Boolean Diff, Offset, PolyLines, Extrude, Boolean Union
Hi Pilou, not sure if you are talking about a cube here.
Cant you draw some lines (with "fat lines" script?) or use rectangles as lines
combined with ARRAY / join to get a fast grid object to then be used "groove" lines. Copy 4 times. Weld/join that to other surfaces then Extrude groves up/down to suit? Maybe use some control points to make things interesting. Likely I can create your grid really fast in 2d. If I knew what dimensions you want happy to experiment on automating that 1st part...
After a boolean cutting, inset is not a so bad idea.
You could "inset" two or three faces of a solid together to avoid part of the corner problem you had.
For external corner you select together 3 faces, for external egdes, 2 faces and top internal face only one.
Perhaps another way is
-- Copy/paste original solid
-- a boolean cutting with lines
-- explodemove function on cutted solids
-- your copy is inner solid and have to be resized
The problem is : with ExplodeMove you don't have spaces not so regular.
