Question will be scaling of the holes be possible? same as moving them around?

Tnx!

Hi Matadem,

re:
> Question will be scaling of the holes be possible?

Yes I think I will be able to do that. Probably if cylindrical faces or circular edges are selected then
the current radius or diameter will be shown here and then click on that to change it:



There is actually a display and edit menu there since version 2 I think but it scales the entire object instead of modifying just the hole.

And what about Move Copy, Rotate Copy ?

Hi Pilou,

re:

It looks like there's a bug with Rotate copy, it was intended to retain the previous version behavior there. I'll see about fixing that.

Wow, this opens up whole new ways for constructing objects !
I’m looking to explore and integrate these features.

I appreciate your patience and dedication to bringing your vision to life.
Moi's focused interface is truly impressive.

I wanted to test moving holes on curved surfaces. It seems to work when cutting the hole in formed solids.

If I create a curved surface, "trim the hole" then shell for thickness, the Move produces an artifact in the hole (For me. Lets see if its reproducible)....

Here is a file

Hi Burr, thanks for the test file. I've had a few cases sent in where closed surfaces in particular are getting mangled similar to what you have here. That is next up for me to work on tuning up.

If you cut the hole after shelling instead of before it, that seems to work better right now (see attached file).

Yes Michael, so far for me it surfaced only when “creating the solid” AFTER the hole trim in the surface…

Noted

One possible thing i noticed but it could be erroneous was picking a point “in the bottom of the hole” to do the move

So normally picking a point at the top surface, but if the point was picked down through the hole at the bottom edge of it… just something to look for. It may not be anything.

Thanks again.

A black hole! :)

The corrected file and creation process has the "Move" actually perform faster and smoother also... not just "mangled surface"

Just a note from a fading laptop...

Question regarding the fillet options. The ACIS fillet loses the ability to use the G2 and G3 options. Do you plan on keeping the Solids++ or can ACIS produce these options in the future?

Thanks.

Hi Burr,

re:

I don't have any immediate plans for removing the option to use the old fillets with those options.


> can ACIS produce these options in the future?

It's highly unlikely. But there are a couple of other fillet mechanisms in ACIS though like some face/face operations that I could try out in future versions.

“””””” But there are a couple of other fillet mechanisms in ACIS though like some face/face operations that I could try out in future versions.”””””

Aha! Appears the equivalent of current “blend” where it can fill non connected. And also “hold lines” for continuity control….

The future is bright. Thanks for your time.
