15:18.35 brlcad howdy cobbaut
15:18.50 cobbaut i
15:18.56 brlcad nice plug, I was wondering the same ;)
15:18.58 cobbaut i mean hi
15:20.11 cobbaut you mean the script...it helps me remember how i did stuff...
15:21.26 cobbaut the 'source' command doesn't seem to be documented, i found it through the 'context help' in the mged GUI
15:23.46 clock__ hmm brlcad widows port...
15:24.03 clock__ brlcad: what does kick the tires mean?
15:25.09 ``Erik o.O
15:48.58 brlcad cobbaut: actually I meant the /. comment itself ;)
15:49.14 brlcad clock__: it means to test something, to try it
15:52.24 brlcad it's a saying that comes from kicking the tires of an automobile as a means to see how sturdy/useful/reliable it is, etc
16:03.13 cobbaut brlcad: ;-) ... it was too late to get noticed or modded anyway
16:15.57 brlcad yeah, I didn't read it until it was off the mainpage
17:06.38 ``Erik kick the fires and light the tires, yo
17:06.39 ``Erik o.O

22:53.21 daggerr does anyone know of a tutorial for practical modeling with mged?

23:06.29 daggerr anyone here that is not idling?
23:08.13 pra5ad have u tried http://ftp.brlcad.org/VolumeII-Introduction_to_MGED.pdf ?
23:23.35 daggerr yes
23:24.11 daggerr have not done it all, the first half, then i've been reading the rest
23:24.38 daggerr but it does not seem to provide any means for efficient modeling, or perhaps im used to other means of modeling
23:25.26 daggerr but i'd like functions for "copy and translate", rotate and translate, and "snap to intersection" and stuff like that
23:26.34 daggerr modeling with arbitrary mositioning using the mouse is nothing that i like, and atleast i can not remember all the sizes of the objects in my models to calculate the exact positions
