Modlumi - Easy 3D modelling

[pilou]

Curioussly 0.16
At start...
Very difficult to draw Line, Circle, Poly! Must numerous Clicks, Double Clicks...
Only rectangle!

As like program was not at full swing!
Edit : Today that works fine!

Big requests : Circle, Poly with 3D Snap on something existing! (like for arc circle or rectangle) !
Perpendicular Snap 3D, 2D
Push Pull Tapered

Modlumi 0.17 is out

Download it for Windows from https://modlumi.com/download/latest/windows, or open the browser version at https://modlumi.com/app/. If you already run 0.16 on Windows, it will offer you the update.

New features

• Dimension your model with the new Dimension tool. Click two points, or anywhere along an edge to measure it whole, then move the pointer to offset the dimension line and click, or type the offset. The label shows the length in the model's units. A dimension follows its geometry: move or scale the vertices it measures and it stretches along, in the same undo step. Select a dimension to replace its text in Properties, where <> stands for the length, as in Width <>. The user guide shows how: https://modlumi.com/docs/user-guide/annotating/

• Label your model with the new Text tool. Click a point, an edge or a face and click again to place a label with a leader. It starts as the point's coordinates, the edge's length or the face's area, and typing right away replaces it. Click empty space for screen text that stays put on the screen while you orbit. Labels and dimensions are saved with the model and show in Save to Image.

• Add 3D text as geometry with Edit → Add 3D Text… Type the text, the letter height and how deep to extrude it, or 0 for flat faces, then click where it goes. The letters arrive as a solid component that you can paint, move and edit like anything you draw.

Improvements

• Scripts and plugins can add and read text labels and dimensions. Entities.addText, addScreenText and addDimension create them, and the Text and LinearDimension classes expose their points, offsets and text: https://modlumi.com/docs/guides/model-and-entities/#text-and-dimensions

Fixes

• Extrude and Offset snap to guide points and guide lines. The extrusion or offset ignored guides, so you couldn't stop it at a guide placed with Measure. Thanks @pilou for the report!

• Pasting only guides shows them under the pointer. A copy of guides alone had nothing to preview, so Paste placed them away from where you clicked.

Thanks for the reports. Keep them coming!

thanks, it would be great to add bevel last value memory

@pixelcruncher Once again, I am having a problem trying to install the update on my Windows 11 laptop. I keep getting a download that says it download file instead of being an exe file.

[pilou]

You forget to say that we can Rotate Dimensions!

[pilou]

Ok the lack of3D space Snap (Circle, Poly) in empty space can becan be resolved by create some Group(s) or Component(s) before!

[pixelcruncher]

@ntxdave Can you provide some screenshots or error messages? Something to go by?

Cheers,
Thomas

Modlumi 0.18 is out

Download it for Windows from https://modlumi.com/download/latest/windows, or open the browser version at https://modlumi.com/app/. If you already run 0.17 on Windows, it will offer you the update.

Improvements

• Annotate bug report screenshots in green. Green joins red, yellow and blue as an ink color in Report a Bug or Send Feedback.

Fixes

• Level names and other plugin labels no longer show through dialogs and panels. Labels that plugins draw in the view, such as the level names and heights from Levels, were drawn on top of every window, so they cut across the Levels panel and any dialog open over the view.

Thanks for the reports. Keep them coming!

kitchen made with Modlumi Kitchenmaker, imported in Sketchup, rendered with Rayscaper, character Gemini/Maginfic upscale

The issue with KitcheMaker is that it doesn't generate components. This means a lot of extra work whenever you want to change things like glass-front cabinet models or handles...

[pilou]

Yep that is groups, but seems to me there is a plugin by Thomthom 2(?) who transform Groups in Components !

PS Version of IngeTrazo KitchenMaker for SU is on the French Section!
Of course the Plugin .rbz for SU 2017 is in French but...

[pilou]

Yes it was ThomThom !

You select all your separated groups say 10 , launch the plugin Groups to Components
You will have 10 Components !
Of course don't know the compatibily of this plugin with version of today but...

Tested in SU 2017 That works fine!
