00:36.28 elite01`bday ries, there's mged
00:36.38 elite01`bday and, uh, some new prototype gui, see topic
00:36.45 elite01`bday i have no idea since i didn't use brlcad for quite some time
00:38.30 ries elite01`bday: okey... I am looking for a free/cheap solid modeler with parametric capabilities
00:38.32 ries that's how I found nlrcad
00:38.55 elite01`bday no idea what you mean by parametric capabilities
00:39.01 elite01`bday but i guess brlcad will do just fine :)
00:45.06 *** join/#brlcad louipc (n=louipc@archlinux/trusteduser/louipc)
00:50.38 Ralith elite01`bday, parametric is things like 'sph1.s has a radius equal to the diameter of rcc1.s'
00:50.52 Ralith afaik.
00:52.28 Ralith ries, brlcad *does* have a GUI, it's just not very intuitive.
00:52.41 elite01`bday oh, no idea then
00:52.53 ries Ralith: I was reading one tutorial.... let me check the link...
00:52.54 Ralith also, parametrics are very WIP to the point of being unsupported currently, I think.
00:53.12 ries Ralith: what is WIP?
00:53.16 Ralith work in progress
00:53.21 Ralith ries, read the introduction to mged pdf available at brlcad.org
00:54.12 ries Ralith: I looked at this one : http://brlcad.org/wiki/SGI_Cube
00:54.18 ries But got scared by 'The Script'
00:55.23 Ralith that's not a tutorial
00:55.38 Ralith that's a demonstration of control through an external program
00:55.39 ries hehehe I must have looked wrong....
00:55.46 Ralith read the pdf
00:56.02 ries Ralith: I am currently building a CSS router (2440 x 1220 in size)
00:56.12 Ralith a what
00:56.14 ries could I use blrCAD be used to create designs?
00:56.22 ries then 'some' other tool to make cut paths?
00:56.30 Ralith you mean CNC?
00:56.35 ries s/CSS router/CNC router/
00:56.39 ries yeaaa my bad...
00:57.04 Ralith I know someone who's currently working on a program to generate toolpaths for additive rapid prototyping
00:57.12 Ralith you might be able to adapt that for subtractive
00:57.39 Ralith brlcad can also export STLs at a sacrifice of quality, which can then be fed into most other tools, like GCAM
00:57.52 Ralith which will generate subtractive toolpaths
00:58.00 ries I will give brlcad a shot... see how it works
00:58.13 Ralith it's a lot of work to learn, and isn't the best for creating original designs yet
00:58.46 ries Hmmmm ic....
00:58.55 ries how is brlcad used currently then?
01:00.14 louipc gcam takes stl?
01:02.47 mafm bye
03:49.54 *** join/#brlcad ries (n=ries@190.12.51.7)
03:52.01 Ralith louipc, no idea.
03:52.21 Ralith I'm not really sure what gcam does at all
05:57.03 DanielFalck pycam takes stl files and creates cnc toolpaths
05:57.09 DanielFalck it's on sourceforge

12:51.21 csanyipal Hi,
12:52.59 csanyipal I made a symple model of the xyz coordinate system using shapes as: rcc, trc, pipe
12:53.47 csanyipal Working on it I think about that, that I wish to have in MGED a line shape.
12:56.46 csanyipal But this line shape should be using only ashelpers, and after work is done, it sould be deleted.
13:01.36 csanyipal I tried also to insert an ebm but with no success. Are there any tutorial, or documentation for ebm?
