Hi Michael.

Thanks for the advice on using the Offset tool - it worked beautifully.

With the new Delete Face tool I'm able to discard any superfluous parts to get the cores as I want them.

All the new features are working great with only the occasional 'phantom surface' when I Shell fairly complex parts. I could send a file if you need one.

As I only have a slow laptop, I can get a significant lag when using the new Move Face tool as MoI updates whilst trying to keep up with mouse movement, so I wondered if the live update could somehow be suspended until Moi had locked onto an intersection point or maybe turned off if necessary?


Thanks again.
Martin.

Yes it would be helpful to get the file, especially before doing the shell so I can repeat the steps.
Please e-mail it to me at moi@moi3d.com .

I'll put in an option for this.

Thanks, - Michael
