If I had a circulized item I just can inset and it will create a perfect ouline...but how to do this with something like half a circle?
Tnx.

anyone can explain me how to import curves from another program?
there is no import like other programs...I see import from external file which is vmw files...
clipboard has fbx and obj.
is dxf possible? svg?
I need to work with exact measurements for cnc fabrication.
Tnx!

In Nvil can you use a curve as a drive rail on another curve to create a 3d shape?

https://digitalfossils.com/Download/NVil-Jul-04-25.zip
--Prerequisites : If the application failed to launch and SlimDX is not installed, download/install the CORRECT version(64 or 86(32-bit)) of end user runtime(for slimDX), https://www.digitalfossils.com/Download/SlimDXInstallers.rar

https://youtu.be/mVRehG-kOQQ
Draw Mesh Kick-Start
https://youtu.be/Yb2iyj5LQoY
Summary of changes:
* Polygon mode > Geometry > Copy Polygon Patch.
* A new basic streamline tool, Paste Polygon Patch. Paste copied polygon patch on each individual selected polygon, or at snapping point or at empty space. https://youtu.be/dwItw45FZZo
* A new basic streamline tool, EdgeLoop_Utility. It is a edge loop utility tool: pass-proportions/pass-Length/parallel/perpendicular/even-spacing/straighten. Click at either an end or a middle vertex of a selected edge loop to activate the function. https://youtu.be/nurqtk_5-Io
* Object mode > Create Vertex Soft Selection From Splines. Create vertex soft selection on selected mesh objects from selected splines. Before executing this command, adjust soft selection falloff to a proper value. Select the related mesh and spline objects then execute this command in object mode. https://youtu.be/ttnwav7rT74
* Some improvement on Cut tool and Spline-Rig tool. https://youtu.be/-5pIyfion9o, https://youtu.be/jSl-VHwwVM0
* Some bug fixings.
