What (Windows or macOS) are you planning to run V5 on? : A long-requested official Dark Mode is now
The feedback from users has been overwhelmingly positive. Many long-time users are excited about the new direction:
These upgrades make modeling smoother and more precise, especially for product design and jewelry creation.
A testament to the power of the ACIS kernel is the new command. This powerful function allows you to delete a selected face from a solid and automatically heal the hole by filling the gap. This is an incredibly efficient way to create complex details like cutouts, indentations, or to fundamentally restructure a model. What (Windows or macOS) are you planning to run V5 on
Mac users have the biggest reason to celebrate. Version 5 introduces native ARM compilation for Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3 chips). This eliminates the translation overhead of Rosetta, resulting in massive performance gains during complex booleans, heavy file imports, and viewport manipulation. 2. Sub-D to NURBS In-App Conversion
Open the "Commands" list (Tab key). Type QuadMesh . Play with converting a simple sphere NURBS into a SubD quad cage. Watch how clean the poles are.
Under the hood, MoI V5 now supports modern graphics APIs for better performance and compatibility. It includes support for and Metal on Mac , which can lead to smoother viewport navigation and rendering. Users experiencing issues can also choose to force OpenGL by editing the moi.ini configuration file.
