06:19.00 birdmun so i generated a rim but each time i draw it i get an error msg
06:19.05 birdmun Warning: region unioned into region at '/finhub1.c/hub1.c/fullhub1.r/hubfr1.r', lower region info ignored
06:19.24 birdmun any good ways to avoid this in the future?
06:31.42 Twingy hrm
06:32.02 Twingy if I were coherent I could help you
06:39.06 birdmun i understand :)
06:39.37 birdmun i have logging enabled ... even if i dont get a response in the next couple hours i will still be able to find it
06:40.31 Twingy stop back at 12PM EST
06:40.37 Twingy people will be awake then
06:40.52 birdmun np
07:13.49 brlcad birdmun: yes, don't make regions out of regions :)
07:14.24 brlcad marking something as a region is what defines that object as taking up physical space
07:14.45 brlcad in any given CSG hierarchy, there should only be one region along any given path down the hierarchy
07:15.11 brlcad you have two there.. fullhub1.r unioned hubfr1.r.. it shouldn't
07:15.40 brlcad it should either union what's inside hubfb1.r or hubfb1.r shouldn't be a region in the first place
07:16.30 brlcad all depends on the model as for what's the best solution

07:25.49 birdmun_ what i did was made a cylinder and then removed two cylinders from it ... one on each side
07:26.02 birdmun_ so i was disconnected for a few moments what did i miss?

14:43.10 brlcad birdmun_: from the sound of it, there is likely that there was nothing wrong with your CSG operations
14:43.25 brlcad just an error in how you're using/understanding what it means to be a region
14:57.59 *** join/#brlcad grumbel_ (n=grumbel@i5387C304.versanet.de)
14:58.12 brlcad takes a while for new modelers, but think of the difference as being a pattern for a shape versus being actual material
17:27.01 birdmun_ ok can i add a region to a region ?
17:28.15 birdmun_ if i would have removed the inside from a cylinder and then added the center of the rim as a completed unit ... design, bolt holes and all
18:18.55 brlcad you can add a region to a region, but you're not supposed to -- you should only add combinations to regions and regions to combinations
18:19.03 brlcad or combinations to combinations
18:19.11 brlcad but not regions to regions
18:19.59 brlcad again it has nothing to do with the CSG operation -- you can remove insides, add to the center, etc.. none of that is a problem
18:20.14 brlcad the problem is at what level in the hierarchy are you calling objects a region
18:22.27 brlcad you might benefit from not having/using any regions for starters until the modeling hierarchy is a little more familiar
19:31.42 birdmun_ alright
