00:40.21 starseeker checks in
00:42.33 yukonbob hello, cadheads
00:42.40 starseeker howdy :-)
00:43.32 yukonbob prepares to have to log off in couple minutes...
00:43.39 yukonbob (damn battery...)
01:12.33 brlcad ponders a deeply obscure db_dump bug
01:20.28 ``Erik that sounds like an awesome thing to add, brlcad
01:21.12 brlcad hm?
01:21.23 brlcad it already exists
01:21.34 ``Erik then why're you pondering one? :D *duck*
01:21.44 brlcad ah, heh
01:21.59 ``Erik ponders genericising tree walkers and making the existing ones wrappers
01:22.00 brlcad it's screwy as hell, it's daniel's bug that he posted to the mailing list
01:22.12 brlcad do it!
01:22.19 brlcad that is so sorely needed
01:22.32 brlcad db_recurse was sort of the start of that
01:22.38 brlcad but never finished
01:22.46 ``Erik I was talking to dave and mike about it, threw out a basic plan
01:22.54 ``Erik mike said it sounded good, so I told him to go do it... he refused
01:23.15 brlcad yeah, no way he's getting out of his armchair to actually do something
01:23.34 ``Erik not true!
01:23.40 ``Erik he'll move like you wouldn't believe to talk to people
01:27.47 ``Erik beer, popcorn and stargate continuum, awww yeah
01:29.02 brlcad did almost exactly that when it came out
01:29.02 CIA-4 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r32749 10/brlcad/trunk/src/librt/db_open.c: make sure we don't try to dump a v4 database into a v5 database since it's not implemented.
01:29.07 brlcad cept s/beer/scotch/
01:29.14 brlcad yum
01:32.01 ``Erik aight, then, bring my some scotch! :D beeyotch

01:54.36 brlcad woo hoo! .. think i found it
01:54.42 brlcad damn damn obscure
01:54.43 *** join/#brlcad The_Schmidt (n=chatzill@74.196.207.174)
01:55.00 brlcad who woulda thunk that there is something wrong with this:
01:55.00 brlcad dp->d_flags = (dp->d_flags & ~7) | flags;
01:56.00 The_Schmidt whatsit?
01:56.18 brlcad | flags is wrong
01:56.28 brlcad it overrides the set d_flags
01:57.08 brlcad the whole line is pretty much wrong it seems, have to figure out where it came from
01:57.32 The_Schmidt u inthe code for this project?
01:57.51 brlcad yep
01:58.02 The_Schmidt crazy go nuts
01:58.16 The_Schmidt need a distraction?
01:58.25 The_Schmidt get your mind outta that code for a bit
01:59.09 The_Schmidt i need advice on where to start
01:59.20 louipc mged
02:00.13 The_Schmidt i was wondering if this app would be a suitable for the designing of cardboard boxes
02:01.43 brlcad i'm not exactly an expert on what all is required to design cardboard boxes
02:01.47 The_Schmidt i design boxes that use a spec diagram to fold and take certain dimensions to fold based on their thickness
02:02.32 The_Schmidt does this have folding features that could accomodate?
02:03.05 brlcad hmm
02:03.13 louipc hah that constraints stuff could be handy
02:03.20 brlcad folding as a feature edit operation?
02:03.52 brlcad you can certainly rotate something that would represent an edge, or write a script that would apply a boolean with a rotation
02:04.03 brlcad but not as a direct edit operation
02:04.11 brlcad louipc: yeah, no kidding
02:04.41 The_Schmidt can u use it to do a simple 2d drawing?
02:05.02 The_Schmidt or are you confined to 3d space?
02:05.17 brlcad heh, sort of a contradiction there :)
02:05.39 The_Schmidt would that be like trying to use blender to draw 2d vectors?
02:06.01 brlcad you can do simple 2d drawing via our sketch editor, but it frankly sucks imnsho
02:06.15 brlcad if you want to model with a 2D approach, there are better tools
02:06.24 brlcad like qcad
02:06.27 brlcad it's 2d-only
02:07.28 The_Schmidt any free/open source recommends?
02:07.37 brlcad i just did
02:07.43 yukonbob http://www.langorigami.com/science/treemaker/treemaker5.php4
02:08.49 The_Schmidt hmm
02:09.04 louipc holy moly!
02:09.20 brlcad that would make for an interesting mged extension :)

02:57.10 CIA-4 BRL-CAD: crashing during the dump. there were several problems I found (after 10
02:57.10 CIA-4 BRL-CAD: freaking hours of debugging and testing...), one being a bug in
02:57.10 CIA-4 BRL-CAD: wdb_export_external() that was 8 years old. the routine erroneously allowed a

02:59.25 starseeker we tried :-)
02:59.31 louipc buggy bot. sorry for the spam
02:59.33 starseeker forgot about that cute little quirk
02:59.57 starseeker I think that's actually a deliberate joke on the part of the bot author
02:59.58 brlcad louipc: isn't not a bug, ibot's maintainer made the response to my karma be fixed at 1 :)
03:00.11 CIA-4 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r32754 10/brlcad/trunk/src/librt/db_open.c:
03:00.11 CIA-4 BRL-CAD: add some extra protection to the db_dump problem, it shouldn't be trying to a
03:00.11 CIA-4 BRL-CAD: disk-based wdbp with inmem export flags set. this isn't strictly necessary now
03:00.11 CIA-4 BRL-CAD: since wdb_export_external catches the error, but it doesn't hurt either.
03:00.17 louipc ah haha
03:01.21 brlcad thinks those fixes are enough for now, my noodle is baked
03:01.52 starseeker is impressed
03:02.00 brlcad i'm not
03:02.07 brlcad shoulda found that damn bug hours ago
03:02.18 starseeker <snort> That's how it always goes
03:02.35 starseeker at least you aren't typing macDOCBOOK1 into automake files
03:02.51 brlcad went up and down the stack, up and down the stack, poking variables and *seeing* it was wrong and understanding why it crashed, but not how it got to that state
03:03.32 brlcad chaulk it up to daniel to provoke an 8-year old bug
03:03.54 starseeker Kinda scary some of our features haven't been prodded in that long :-(
03:11.53 brlcad there is only one place that routine is used, mged's "dump" command
03:12.06 brlcad which is never used to dump an in-memory database
03:12.22 brlcad basically it was just a situation that was (apparently) never tested
03:12.29 starseeker fun
03:12.35 brlcad as in-memory support is something sorta new
03:13.44 brlcad inmem's were totally busted for ray-tracing -- i went through similar debugging a couple years ago when I wrote g_transfer to get that working too
03:14.04 starseeker ick
03:24.54 louipc haha sounds like what I was doing when I got the illegal instruction drawing the torus
03:27.04 brlcad that's why I said it was impressive when clubley found that bug so quickly
03:27.11 brlcad that was quite obscure too
03:29.05 starseeker sigh - why doesn't gentoo have IEE 754 floats I wonder
03:30.52 CIA-4 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r32755 10/brlcad/trunk/include/raytrace.h: provide non-deprecated RT_DIR defines
03:32.21 brlcad starseeker: there's not 100% confidence that the tests won't produce false positives, but I've yet to see it fail if you pass -mieee-fp (and be sure -ffast-math is off along with the other ieee-killer compilation flags)
03:33.19 brlcad the tests are in m4
03:34.22 starseeker nods. I'll have to check into that - it may be running the unstable gentoo has gotten me something funky enabled without me being aware of it
03:49.57 starseeker brlcad: Well, I can build pdf and single page html of the volumes now
03:50.21 starseeker chunked output and little things like installing the images correctly for html pages remain to be figured out, but it's progress
03:51.00 starseeker 'course, considering how messed up the images are right now anyway...
03:52.20 starseeker must sleep for the drive tomorrow...

21:06.11 iandaletter ...but i can import 2D-IGES and revolve it?
21:06.38 brlcad iandaletter: you'll need the very latest sources
21:06.46 brlcad and it depends
21:06.59 brlcad revolves only work with sketch objects
21:07.12 brlcad I don't recall if a 2D IGES will import as a sketch
21:07.26 brlcad I think it may just ignore non-solid IGES entities
21:07.48 brlcad ah, no -- it does bring them in
21:08.03 brlcad but don't know if it'll bring them in as an nmg (which can't be revolved) or as a sketch
21:08.06 *** join/#brlcad clock_ (n=clock@77-56-68-71.dclient.hispeed.ch)
21:08.14 brlcad dxf-g will import as a sketch
21:09.07 brlcad then you can create a revolve object using that sketch (which presently only works for arcs/curves and line entities, not splines)
21:09.44 brlcad does the unthinkable .....
21:12.10 iandaletter ok ... We, "constructors" has no doubts: just a solution can be different. Nevermind. What if I have 7.10 version for 32-bit i386? is it old? It seems, never versions are 64-bits ones?
21:12.42 iandaletter and why don't you sleep? Or it's only an evening?
21:12.46 brlcad that's pretty old
21:13.05 brlcad I'd suggest a 7.12, but it should be fine depending on what you're doing
21:13.10 brlcad there are no revolves in 7.10
21:13.19 brlcad they're brand new in .12
21:13.30 brlcad and sleeping sucks
21:14.36 brlcad there's plenty of time to sleep when you're dead
21:14.46 iandaletter ok... well... I know revolves only from AutoCAD... How can I "extrude" an orthogonal view into dxf to be able to edit it in e.g. QCAD?
21:15.34 iandaletter It seems, ProEngineer has a feature to draw allthe dimensions... I will wait for such a feature in brl-cad...
21:16.25 iandaletter i meant autamatically draw it...
21:18.12 brlcad i don't know if it's only dxf, I said I don't know how 2D iges import
21:18.20 brlcad it'd be a quick test for you to figure that out
21:19.33 iandaletter no, i mean - what if i have 3D model - and i need a drawing? can i create orthogonal view? And edit this view in other programs (add dimensions and so on)?
21:28.34 iandaletter BRL-CAD cold have a features for meshing - splitting geometry down to finite elements. The only problems are mesh is needed to be refined at e.g. certain borders as a holes and e.g. outer edges. well... free mesher www.geuz.org/gmsh/ 'weights' whole 20 mb - and it is primarily a mesher.

21:45.50 louipc brl-cad has no drafting features
21:48.32 iandaletter well... i need no an fotorealistic images... it seems, 2D Qcad can import 3D dxf - if it is an orthigonal view - it is almost a drawing... uh...
21:49.04 brlcad louipc: not strictly true, they're just really weak from an editing stand-point
21:49.28 brlcad the sketch primitive supports many/most of the basic representation requirements for drafting purposes
21:49.58 brlcad the rtedge renderer produces drafting-style hidden-line drawings, just without annotation/dimension details
21:50.05 louipc yeah but you'd have to do it all manually
21:50.11 louipc hahh

21:51.26 louipc iandaletter: page not found
21:51.33 brlcad iandaletter: you in .ru ?
21:51.51 brlcad tries to infer/decipher the language disconnect
21:52.15 brlcad ahh, louipc just remove the www.
21:52.40 iandaletter brlcad: I must say I discuss brlcad when I do not know even whole commands... It's at firs time with me... I'm even a bit too responsible...
21:53.01 brlcad understandable
21:53.44 iandaletter http://pastime-one.livejournal.com/ graduate mech equipm designer
21:54.10 brlcad iandaletter: wth is "q-smth" :)
21:54.45 iandaletter probably, q-iges ? I don't know ;)
21:54.50 louipc maybe he meant g-*?
21:54.51 brlcad I think you maybe meant g-iges but I have no idea how you got that from q-smth is wierd :)
21:55.02 brlcad yeah, g-* are the various exporters

21:56.23 brlcad howdy Ralith
21:56.47 Ralith hey
21:56.57 Ralith that is a lot of conversions.
21:57.21 brlcad not enough though
21:57.39 Ralith how many is enough?
21:58.23 brlcad 64k should be more than plenty
21:58.40 Ralith lol
21:58.43 louipc ha ha
21:59.06 louipc g-solid_metal
22:00.23 Ralith so I got an atmega644p the other day
22:00.31 Ralith it's setting next to me blinking an LED in complicated ways.
22:00.38 Ralith good fun.
22:01.22 louipc maybe it's trying to communicate
22:01.38 Ralith it is communicating "your program works"
22:05.32 clock_ porting BRL-CAD to atmega644p?
22:06.02 clock_ with LED as a 1x1 resolution graphical monochrome display?
22:06.23 Ralith that sounds feasible.
22:06.37 clock_ multipane supported *)
22:06.50 clock_ * only as long as all 4 panes show the same picture
22:10.50 iandaletter brlcad: what if i would use brl-cad on those tiny laptops as ones 250$$ cost? 800x480 pixels... uh?
22:11.14 brlcad what if you do?
22:11.27 Ralith iandaletter: that would be fine, I'm sure.
22:11.31 Ralith raytracing would be slow.
22:11.34 iandaletter yes, what if i would buy such a laptop?
22:11.45 Ralith what's your question?
22:12.01 Ralith if you bought such a laptop then you would have such a laptop.
22:12.02 clock_ one laptop per child?
22:12.32 iandaletter ok... but my words can be used on e.g. slow machine with relatively small screen resoulution as e.g. 1024x768 were right, yeah?
22:13.08 Ralith your words?
22:13.30 Ralith mged is not very resource intensive afaik, assuming you're not loading hugely complex models.
22:13.35 louipc don't use that as your build machine
22:13.41 Ralith yeah, compiling would suck too
22:13.46 iandaletter well, yes, not mine ones... Those english words then :)
22:14.29 Ralith you're not a native speaker; that explains a lot.
22:14.34 iandaletter louipc: "build machine" - what do you mean? You mean complicated drawings?
22:16.55 iandaletter ok... but old versions are available, right? and there are fullsupport in newer versions for*.g files, right? So... old machine can be used for e.g. old version of BRL-CAD, isn't it?
22:17.37 Ralith new versions work fine on old machines
22:18.14 iandaletter then it's ok
22:19.05 brlcad iandaletter: brl-cad will run on *very* minimal hardware (you don't even need a display)
22:19.22 brlcad it's just the more minimal it is, the smaller the database you'll be able to load
22:19.34 iandaletter ok
22:20.03 brlcad I think ever since tcl was integrated, that pushed our minimum memory footprint up to 20MB or something
22:20.16 iandaletter i'm about rather single details, not about something huge as e.g. "a whole department"
22:21.10 Ralith brlcad: aw, I guess I won't be able to port to the atmega after all :(
22:26.30 brlcad Ralith: nah, it's possible
22:26.37 brlcad entirely depends how it's compiled/linked
22:26.44 Ralith hehe
22:26.55 Ralith dreams of a microcontroller cluster
22:28.32 brlcad dreams of himself standing in sort of sun-god robes on a pyramid with a thousand naked women screaming and throwing little pickles at him
22:29.09 iandaletter wuhh... pickles in him...
22:29.43 Ralith thinks brlcad might be hitting the caffine pretty hard
22:30.57 brlcad chuckles at the reference to one of the best geek cult movies of all time
22:31.25 ``Erik depends on how old of a machine, I don't think a vax11/780 with 4k ram cuts it anymore :(
22:31.44 ``Erik er, 4m? *forgot*
22:31.45 brlcad rt might run, but no mged
22:32.15 ``Erik heh, justin and I used to joke about 'numa-pic' (PIC 16f88 style microcontrollers)
22:32.37 ``Erik but then the naked women showed up *sigh* there went that plan
22:39.11 iandaletter naked women usually love sporty guys with good hobbies as e.g me
22:41.12 brlcad iandaletter: and money, can't forget money and power ;)
22:42.50 brlcad runs and hides after doing something evil...
22:42.56 CIA-4 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r32768 10/brlcad/trunk/ (6 files in 3 dirs): (log message trimmed)
22:42.56 CIA-4 BRL-CAD: [playing taps] yes, the time has finally come.. to deprecate jove. it's become
22:42.56 CIA-4 BRL-CAD: a maintenance burden with a bug that actually corrupts (large) input files so
22:42.56 CIA-4 BRL-CAD: it's time to encourage/require users to finally use a different editor, or at
22:42.57 CIA-4 BRL-CAD: least let them know that we're not maintaining it any more. i've included a
22:42.59 CIA-4 BRL-CAD: jove.emacs sample '.emacs' file that (supposedly, untested) provides jove
22:43.01 CIA-4 BRL-CAD: bindings within emacs that should help folks migrate. old habits die hard, but
22:43.32 iandaletter axissymmetry or axisymmetry?
22:43.58 brlcad axis of symmetry?
22:44.14 brlcad wow, what an appropriate revision ID for that commit
22:44.51 iandaletter yes, as "axisymmetry analysis"
22:45.23 iandaletter the word, its spelling - tell me, please...
22:45.38 brlcad ~spell axisymmetry
22:45.46 brlcad bah
22:45.48 brlcad axisymmetry is right
22:46.04 brlcad otherwise it's two words
22:46.14 iandaletter ok
22:46.35 iandaletter ~spell arquebus
22:47.14 iandaletter ~spell harquebus
22:47.29 iandaletter sorry
22:47.52 CIA-4 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r32769 10/brlcad/trunk/src/tclscripts/geometree/GeometryBrowser.tcl: add a method so we can toggle debugging on and off on the geometry browser
22:48.03 brlcad arquebus
22:48.22 brlcad i think ibot only knows m-w recognized words or something
23:01.52 CIA-4 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r32770 10/brlcad/trunk/src/tclscripts/geometree/GeometryBrowser.tcl: tighten the update hook to 3/6 seconds

23:56.55 iandaletter thanks, and what is a word for that "shafts" in blooming, which (shaft) crushes the metal?
23:59.51 iandaletter cylinder... so trivial...
