Bug Reports / (Fixed) Spline vertex snapping

« Last post by steve on January 05, 2026, 09:18:02 am »

Hi,
The spline option "Auto set new spline point space info" is not working.

Other functions, such as "streamline basic tools - Snap position normal" do not work correctly on spline vertex, (do not snap to normal direction) is that intentional?

edit: using Dec-17-25 build

Regards,

Object mode > Common Commands n Tools > Split.

Hi IStonia,
For that to work, the option "Create symmetry part as a separate mesh" would need to be enabled in the mirror options window, which by default it is not. So may confuse the user.

I don't know how the wheels were created. From the screenshot, it seems to me the two front wheels are the same object with two separate meshe-shells. So, I guess he just wants to separate the two meshe-shells into two objects so they can be manipulated individually.

Edit: In the latest version, the object Split command breaks separate mesh-shells into different objects if the object consists of only one mesh.

Both items move together.
I need to edit them individually.
For instance in Moi3d If I select/highlight 2 items I can move/rotate/scale them.
If I select 2 items and give them a name...they will be grouped under that name.
In the object tree I can select both as one...but in 3d window I can select them as individual.

The items in Nvil were mirrored but I cannot figure out how to separate them lol.

I guess in Nvil3d is the parent/child behaviour.

Tnx!

Set MoI preferences to metres
Export from Moi in obj format.
Set NVil to metres in preferences.
Import obj into NVil using merge scene.

NOTE: Moi is a nurbs modeler (nurb surfaces). Nvil is a mesh modeler (Polygons).

MoI does not support import of mesh data that NVil generates however you can use the SubD function of MoI v4  to import obj format but it will apply a subdvision to the mesh geometry converting it from polygons to nurbs surfaces.

Hello
I have a project going on in Moi3d.
I want to bring some object into Nvil to make a "shell" around the object and send back to Moi3d.
What is the best format to do this and to import it and back and stay accurate?

Thank you!
