Hi val,

re:
> seems like I'm getting an error from the 97 bmoi.js file. any suggestions? thanks Val

Are you running an older version of Moi or have you possibly copied an old version of the CommandBar.htm in place of the standard one in the current v4 beta?

That error looks like you are missing the piece of CommandBar.htm that's in v4.

No this example is imported in blender with a special Blender's build, that import 3dm file. here more info about. https://blenderartists.org/t/branch-soc-2014-nurbs-update-to-master/1207889/

But what I suggest is Blender can handle well Nurbs and maybe the best way is using it's own native Nurbs code to exchange file and not the OBJ format

---

Thanks. I`ve tried it yesterday but I had shading errors even on simple surfaces.

How to use that native NURBS. Are you saying about writing own code?

---

Yeah because as can see Blender's nurbs are almost ready, in fact with 3dm build you can ready now import 3dm file into blender Nurbs geometry without meshing them. If use only surface modelling with boundary without trimming you can have the same surface inside Blender.

Im using the latest beta but I'm using a modified commandbar.htm (it's the one to use the dark scheme I think, I forgot exactly, as too much time has passed since I swapped it out)
Not that it matters that much as I was just curious if the BMOI was more convenient.

Hi Val,

re:

The modified commandbar.htm is the reason for the error - it's because it's a modified older version and so it's missing something that was added later.

You can add in the missing piece by inserting this:

				<span id="CommandBarCustomUI">
				</span>

It goes just after the snap buttons.

Michael,
thanks, worked like a charm,

This amazing connector worked v.4 only?

Hi krass,

re:
> This amazing connector worked v.4 only?

I think so because the export to FBX needs a newer version of FBX which MoI v4 supports and which MoI v3 doesn't. The FBX import library was updated for v4 and can write newer versions of FBX.

Thanks, I understand!

---

@pafurijaz: Have you used own code to import that rhino object or that blender build only?

I hope that Blender build will be developed further to have better support of nurbs inside Blender.

---

Seem something is moving but this part lack of developer, and for now the news are here https://devtalk.blender.org/t/branch-soc-2014-nurbs-update-to-master-code-base-d6807/11681

For the build the now import a mess surfaces, but after saving it can be adjusted with switching off the endpoint of each surfaces V and turning on again the endpoint of both direction U and V. only with this tricks you get out a nice surfaces shading. if you have a model without trimmed surfaces you can import right now without problem, only with wrong options.

Below the direct link for windows Build. the link is still working.

I have this error in Blender when I want to import from Moi3D. Any Ideas how ti fix this?

Hi surferdude - that error is because Blender doesn't support reading older versions of the FBX format.

In MoI v4 you can solve it by going to Options > Import/Export > "FBX options" and set the FBX version to a newer one.

Hey folks here the work in progress of conversion of my Blender 3d model into 3dm file with Moi3d SubD feature, many crashes and the imports was made with few or single mesh and often the complex shapes are splitted in many object in order to avoid the mess generated surface during import, and the model is made for this workflow. and I also gained experience for better modelling with both application.

This guy (Cotter) uses also MOi! ;) Minute 13.20 + 14.56

---

A longshot, but could one export curves from MoI and turn them into bezier curves in Blender?

---

Hi nameless,

You can !

Export curves in DXF format (polylines or splines 2D projection) from MOI 3D
Import in Blender by enabling before the AutoCAD DXF addon (v0.9.6)

Cheers
