Hi Pilou, for fewer steps you could do -

"Details..." button, then on the object properties dialog, click "Faces", then Ctrl+click on "Planar" to deselect those.

Or on Scene Browser, Types section, click on the selection dot area for "Faces", then click on selection dot on Faces > Planar to deselect planar faces.

Frenchy.
If you delete just the rounded apex faces you get 'straight corners' on the fillets. ;-)

Ah excellent! Another hidden fonctions!

@blowlamp
Yep but you don't obtain the same result!
All depend of what do you want! ;)



But maybe Apex is another thing... ? What is exactly ?
And what is your selection ?

---

Frenchy.
You're showing what I meant in your GIF.
The fact that it's now possible to have straight corners and rounded corners in any combination is a plus as far as I'm concerned. ;-)
The same trick also works with Chamfer. ;-)

Martin.

I've been waiting for this since v3!

Thank you!

looks like u are hitting the same overhead as

great improvements, have been asked for a long time !

Not a question about the Sep-!7-2025 beta in particular.

I know it's possible to enter fractions such as 17/64" without having to convert to decimal, but is there a formatting rule where I can enter a measurement of something like 4 9/16" directly?

I occasionally get these dimensions in drawings I receive and don't enjoy converting them. ;-)

On my mobile phone calculator, entering 4+9/16 seems to give the right answer.

Martin.

Yes, you need to have a unit system set other than "No unit system", and you need a foot (') or inches(") mark in your input.

Then you can use either a space or a hyphen to separate whole inches from the fractional part, like:

4 9/16"
or
4-9/16"

Just saw this. Currently installing as I speak, and I am super excited to try this out.

---

Thank you Michael.
It's now working for me if I use a hyphen, but not with a space and of course I was previously using a space.
My unit system is set to millimetres.

Martin.

Amazing and everyday useful ACIS funkcionality, excellent job, Michael!

Thank you.

Hi Martin,

Which edit field are you typing in ?

- Michael

---

Michael.

I click to start the line and immediately begin typing on the numeric keypad and the numbers are displayed in the X,Y,Z box without me clicking on it.

If I click to start the line and then type: 4-7/8" the line is correct.
If I click to start the line and then type: 4 7/8" the line terminates somewhere near the Origin, in fact all lines show similar behaviour whe using the 'space' character.

In that particular field it's also looking for x y values and it's deciding that 4 7/8" is a 2D point location with
x = 4
y = 7/8 inches = 22.225mm.

But I can probably tune that if you have the inches mark (") on just one piece then treat the whole thing it as one feet & inches value instead.

Hi Michael.
That would be good if you're happy to do it.

Just to let you know that the new features are an absolute boon when it comes to editing a model. Just being able to delete features to allow further editing is fantastic!

Thanks.
Martin.

The moi3d function is already well-developed and easy to operate. As a purchasing user, could you consider designing a new UI to enhance the competitiveness of this product，https://www.behance.net/gallery/175633629/Moi3D

Hi feirui445,

re:

There is a new "Dark Mode" UI available in version 5, you can turn it on under Options > General > "UI Theme: Dark".

See here for some discussion of some of the problems with that particular graphic design example that you link to:
https://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=11158.2

Just purely cosmetic graphic design "looking cool" is a very low priority for MoI compared to actual workflow UX design.

I'm definitely not interested in losing actual usability just for a cool look.

- Michael

---

Interesting.

---

If MoI had looked like that when I wanted to buy a CAD, I'd have carried on looking.

Martin.
