20:48.16 AchiestDragon i have an idea for some objects , that may be a bit easyer than the current method , just want to throw the idea arround a bit see what you think ,,
20:49.28 AchiestDragon to have a list of standard object parts like box section , angle section , I or H beem section , to enter the dimentions for it then place it
20:51.01 AchiestDragon so for angle section you could have a 20mm* 20mm * 3mm thick piece thats 50mm long , better than having to calculate each point of the ends
20:54.30 AchiestDragon could also be linked to preset values so the standard industrial sizes could be in a database , so you would select the item you want to use (say same angle section as above ) from the database then specify the lenth
20:55.22 AchiestDragon it would make drawing objects made from standard materials verry easy
20:57.53 AchiestDragon may take some time to get a full database but if a structure is in place for letting it do this then the database itself could be by user contributions ( if theres a easy way for them to enter new items )
21:00.13 AchiestDragon it could even be extended to allow for more complex objects ( like "parts" ) that would be individual .g files in themselves ( think it may already be able to do this sort of thing )
21:03.54 AchiestDragon then it should be just a case of entering the insert points , and x,y,z rotation for it ( or maybe positioning it by moving it arround with the mouse )

23:03.59 CIA-5 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/configure.ac: make note of the fact that ac_gnu_source requires autoconf 2.54+, and ac_header_stdbool requires 2.55+
