11:45.58 gioacchino hello all
11:47.16 gioacchino how to create a cono ?
11:47.42 gioacchino *cone
11:48.00 gioacchino becuse I found on the manual onli truncated cone
11:49.42 elite01_ a cone is a special case of a truncated cone :)
11:59.02 gioacchino in cone tgc XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
12:00.37 gioacchino xxxxxxxx= ?
12:26.26 elite01_ no idea, it does ask for the values
12:58.44 gioacchino brlcad: hoe to create a cone ??
13:34.59 brlcad make an rcc
13:35.27 brlcad "right circular cylinder"
13:35.45 brlcad or a truncated general cone (tgc), but the parameters are more complex
13:36.01 brlcad e.g. make cono rcc
13:36.48 brlcad that will make a simple default one, the "in" command lets you set all the various values on creation
13:53.56 MinstrelGypsy heh winsock.h and socket.h don't get along :)
14:27.15 gioacchino I want create a not truncated cone
14:27.40 gioacchino brlcad: I want create a not truncated cone
14:38.41 brlcad just make one end have a really small radius
14:39.20 brlcad like 0.01 for the pointed end
14:43.15 gioacchino because not exist a cone primitive ?
15:03.34 gioacchino brlcad: why not exist a cone primidive ?
15:11.07 brlcad that is a cone, it's only mathematically truncated
15:11.17 brlcad it can still comes to a "point"
15:11.23 brlcad just not a mathematically infinite one
15:12.33 brlcad as that's not something that physically ever exists -- even with one atom on the top, there is a definable non-zero radius to both ends
15:17.10 brlcad example: http://ftp.brlcad.org/~sean/cone.png
15:18.54 brlcad that's a rcc with one radius as 250mm and the other as 0.0000001mm
15:21.14 brlcad rcc is actually just a subset of tgc .. tgc in its generalized form does conics, cylinders, cones, and other quadric peculiarities
15:41.44 MinstrelGypsy suppose i could hack configure.ac, so I don't have to hack brlcad_config.h in future
