02:01.09 richard12345 Hi, I was curious to know where I can download the WinXP version of BRL CAD, as it seems missing on the SF pages and yet is listed as supporting it.
02:03.00 learner richard12345, there is a beta available to select groups, just not on sf.net
02:03.20 learner richard12345, there will be a binary download available on sf.net in about a week if you can wait (much better than the beta)
02:04.08 richard12345 Yes I can wait for a week. Are you sure?
02:04.48 richard12345 Do you know if it does automatic dimensioning?
02:05.06 learner i do know
02:05.11 learner it does not :)
02:05.36 richard12345 It does not do autodimensioning?
02:05.46 learner richard12345, the 7.8.0 release is being prepared as I type this -- unix binaries likely will post tomorrow, first windows shortly thereafter
02:05.48 richard12345 How do people model with it then? :)
02:06.12 learner it's quite powerful in other aspects ;)
02:06.22 richard12345 Great!
02:06.26 richard12345 has anyone ever attempted architecture with it?
02:06.34 richard12345 So I hear.
02:06.34 learner somewhat different modeling philosophy in general from what you're probably used to as well
02:06.42 learner yes, they have
02:06.57 richard12345 That's good to know.
02:07.49 richard12345 I've done boolean if that's what you're talking about in terms of modeling philosophy.
02:08.05 learner hm, that reminds me .. there is was an architecture company in florida that was interested in making the mods necessary to make brl-cad their primary sole modeler.. should see what they're up to
02:08.22 learner not just boolean, but that is certainly part of it
02:08.48 richard12345 What would the architecture company be?
02:08.55 learner reading through the mged tutorial might give you a basic idea of some of the fundamentals
02:09.07 richard12345 on the main site?
02:09.09 richard12345 ok
02:09.11 learner i can't recall their name.. just remembered their interest
02:09.12 learner yeah
02:09.35 learner it was a small firm, iirc
02:10.33 richard12345 Fair enough. Anyway, thanks for the news and direction. I'll check it out and see. Catch you later!
02:10.34 learner quick overview of the primitives here i put together a while ago: http://ftp.brlcad.org/tmp/primitives/Primitives3_grouped_labels.png
02:10.53 learner no probl. cheers
02:10.59 richard12345 I'll read it over dinner. :) Thanks again.
02:19.29 CIA-5 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/configure.ac: define USE_FBSERV so libdm/mged allow direct fbserv render connections
08:24.31 CIA-5 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/src/other/URToolkit/tools/mallocNd.c: dont use the k&r-style malloc extern now that the file correctly includes/presumes stdlib.h for it
13:26.31 CIA-5 BRL-CAD: 03jlowenz 07trimnurbs-branch * 10brlcad/include/nurb.h:
13:26.31 CIA-5 BRL-CAD: ws; changed oslo matrix vector to be statically allocated and added support for
13:26.31 CIA-5 BRL-CAD: oslo matrix pools (structure and accessors for struct oslo_mat). dynamic
13:26.31 CIA-5 BRL-CAD: allocation of olso_mats were a serious bottleneck in profiling results.
13:30.25 CIA-5 BRL-CAD: 03jlowenz 07trimnurbs-branch * 10brlcad/src/librt/g_nurb.c: ws; fixed trim curve looping constructs in export/import routines; fixed nurb sizing routine
13:33.07 CIA-5 BRL-CAD: 03jlowenz 07trimnurbs-branch * 10brlcad/src/librt/nurb_copy.c: ws; added support to copy trim contours when copying surfaces
17:49.44 CIA-5 BRL-CAD: 03jlowenz 07trimnurbs-branch * 10brlcad/src/librt/ (nurb_refine.c nurb_split.c nurb_xsplit.c): modified call to rt_nurb_free_oslo to support new implementation
18:31.47 CIA-5 BRL-CAD: 03jlowenz 07trimnurbs-branch * 10brlcad/src/librt/nurb_trim.c: added rt_nurb_uv_trimmed() to support calculating whether an intersection is inside/outside a trim contour.
18:36.30 CIA-5 BRL-CAD: 03jlowenz 07trimnurbs-branch * 10brlcad/src/librt/nurb_util.c: fix broken BU_LIST manipulations; added functions to support new pool-based oslo_mat allocation, uses accessors: rt_nurb_new_oslo()/rt_nurb_free_oslo()
18:37.51 CIA-5 BRL-CAD: 03jlowenz 07trimnurbs-branch * 10brlcad/src/librt/oslo_calc.c: utilize new allocation/free routines for oslo_mat
18:39.25 CIA-5 BRL-CAD: 03jlowenz 07trimnurbs-branch * 10brlcad/src/libwdb/nurb.c: comment detail
