00:27.31 starseeker realizes rotating the A vector in hyp is kind of pointless
00:27.50 starseeker need to restrict it to just the plane where it is legal
00:27.58 starseeker meh
00:28.14 starseeker will figure out how to do that later
00:28.18 brlcad a twisted hyp?
00:28.28 brlcad it could matter for uv mappings
00:28.39 starseeker can we do twisted with this?
00:29.11 brlcad doubtful, but dunno
00:29.20 starseeker As defined I don't think so
00:29.39 starseeker need more input parameters
00:37.32 CIA-62 BRL-CAD: 03starseeker * r33250 10/brlcad/trunk/src/mged/edsol.c: Activate most of the edit entries for HYP. Need to do some work to restrict behavior of ROT A to something more useful - let H do the free rotations and have A rotate around H.
00:38.14 brlcad http://www.jug.net/wt/slscp/sh2s.jpg
00:38.25 brlcad configurable chord length and twist params? :)
00:38.30 brlcad is kidding

02:22.00 marko1 anyone know what this means
02:22.04 marko1 class_lu_vs_s: loop transits plane of shell/face?
02:22.05 marko1 FAILED in Boolean evaluation: /bobbin_left
02:22.05 marko1 0 triangles written
02:22.16 marko1 got it while running g-stl
02:27.04 Ralith marko1: sounds like it it had trouble going from CSG to a mesh; happens sometimes. I think the general solution is to fiddle with the model a bit and try again. Not sure if there's anything specific you can glean from that error.
02:30.48 marko1 ok
02:30.58 marko1 not very reassuring!
02:31.12 marko1 heh
02:33.36 Ralith yeah, work's being done on a new -> mesh system, iirc
02:34.11 Ralith it's not an easy problem to solve; I'm not aware of any free implementation without serious issues, and for all I know the commercial ones might have the same.
02:35.27 Ralith marko1: This is really just a guess, but maybe you have overlapping regions?

05:53.48 HectorVictorious what system specs would you recommend for smooth performance (not the absolute minimum)
05:54.08 Ralith HectorVictorious: to do what?
05:54.42 Ralith brl-cad can probably run to some degree or other on any hardware you can imagine; mged, on most.

15:20.20 starseeker random doubleclicks are a real problem, especially when trying to do graphics work
15:20.41 starseeker anybody have recommendations for a good mouse that can take a real pounding?
15:20.56 starseeker doesn't need 200 buttons, just something that can take getting run over
15:21.11 starseeker + scroll wheel
15:23.24 clock_ starseeker: so 199 buttons are OK?

15:32.29 starseeker cool
15:33.15 archivist only mouse to outlast this was a mouse systems mouse
15:33.49 archivist and that was circa 1988-1998
15:34.51 archivist mouse systems worked very hard, was doing PCB design with that one
15:37.27 starseeker remembers designs for the old symbolics lisp mice - metal components, built like tanks
15:37.37 starseeker sorta like their keyboards :-)
15:38.21 archivist mouse systems needed new feet and a shortened tail
15:39.08 archivist actually got genuine replacement felt for the pads

15:39.52 clock_ so called athletic mouse ;-)
15:43.18 starseeker Hmm... Logitech LX3 Optical Mouse looks interesting
15:44.08 archivist I stick with ball where I can, opticals get some surfaces wrong
