I want to create a Möbius strip. In UG, I can generate this surface by setting a 180‑degree twist along the path. However, the Sweep command in MOI3D only provides two twist modes: Free and Flat, and there is no option to directly input the total twist angle. How can I achieve this in MOI3D?

Hi c3g,

There is a mobius strip plugin you can try here:

Also a lot of previous discussion on this thread:

If you're still stuck let me know.

Hi c3g,
One way to create a MoIebius ;-) strip is by using the combination of Twist and Flow commands in (Trasform, Deform).
Would this answer your question ?

Hi,

If it could help you, years ago I work on a version of moebius ring.
My memory have lost the way but perhaps you can find how I made with the files.

Have fun,

P.
