| 10:00.44 | alex_joni | how would one go on with converting a mesh to a solid? |
| 11:48.26 | d-lo | alex_joni: You would have to enclose the mesh or, if its easier, extrude it out into a solid. |
| 11:48.48 | alex_joni | d-lo: I think the mesh is closed |
| 11:49.44 | d-lo | alex_joni: Well, if its already enclosed, there is a property you can set to make it a solid instead of just a shell. |
| 11:49.47 | alex_joni | (it's a 3D mesh in STL or any other format) |

| 12:11.49 | d-lo | Archer and BRLCAD are very similar. BRLCAD is much more functional whereas Archer is less-so, but much prettier on the User Inferface side of the house. |
| 12:12.02 | d-lo | Both, however, should do what you want to do with BoTs.... maybe |
| 12:12.03 | alex_joni | I did start mged in the past |
| 12:12.20 | alex_joni | how would I go on with importing a STL ? |
| 12:12.21 | d-lo | http://brlcad.org/wiki/Documentation |
| 12:13.12 | d-lo | page 21 of this pdf: |
| 12:13.16 | d-lo | http://brlcad.org/w/images/6/66/Converting_Geometry.pdf |
| 12:13.26 | d-lo | shows the stl-g conversion steps. |
| 12:13.31 | alex_joni | coo |
| 12:14.00 | d-lo | It is common practice to try several conversion paths if the initial try doesn't work. |
| 12:14.38 | d-lo | aka if stl->g path doesn't work, load the stl file into pro/E or Unigraphics and export a DXF... then try the dxf -> g |
| 12:15.12 | d-lo | I have used Blender on occasion to convert files to .dxf and use the dxf->g converter.... |
| 12:15.30 | d-lo | how large is the stl file you are talking about? |

| 12:17.07 | alex_joni | but not for now |
| 12:17.18 | alex_joni | STL needs to be ASCII? |
| 12:17.34 | alex_joni | n/m -b does the trick |
| 12:17.41 | d-lo | there were some recent reports of dxf files acting rather strange once the file size approaches 1.5 gigs... |

| 12:46.09 | alex_joni | I can't seem to get it to display or raytrace anything |
| 12:46.24 | alex_joni | ahhh... found it ;) |
| 12:46.33 | alex_joni | need to right-click on s.stl and enable the view |
| 12:46.45 | d-lo | Okay, well i found a problem. |
| 12:46.54 | d-lo | the 'bolt holes' on the base are an issue. |
| 12:47.24 | d-lo | they are supposed to be a subtraction from the main bot, but instead, they are *part* of the main bot.... thus they are confusing the raytracer. |
| 12:47.42 | alex_joni | d-lo: I don't really care about the holes ;) |
| 12:47.53 | alex_joni | I need to weld the subparts, so the holes are not interesting .. |
| 12:47.54 | d-lo | They should be removed or replaced. |
| 12:48.02 | alex_joni | I see |
| 12:48.09 | d-lo | well, they holes are making the geometry invalid. |
| 12:48.40 | d-lo | just do a raytrace looking down into the hole from the top and then up from the bottom.... its a magic 'hole' :) |
| 12:49.58 | d-lo | Since they were supposed to be a subtraction, the holes are 'mini-bots' in themselves, so they should be seperate solids. Since they aren't, there are two solids existing in one and have overlapping faces. |
| 12:50.35 | d-lo | the raytracer determins solidity by the amount of faces hit along the path of a ray (1st = in, 2nd = out, 3rd = in, etc) |
| 12:51.03 | d-lo | so when there are two faces overlapping, you get the first two hits immediately |
| 12:51.28 | d-lo | and trick the raytracer into thinking its exited the solid, when, in reality, its inside it. |
| 12:51.50 | d-lo | Now, this may not matter to your needs, but it will make the raytraced pictures inaccurate. |
| 12:52.27 | alex_joni | I saw that |
| 12:53.25 | d-lo | Looks like the same phenominon is happening on the top with those 4 (or 8) cyls |
| 12:54.23 | d-lo | I have some homebrewed tools that can eliminate the boltholes and those cyls very quickly if you want me to. Just need an email addy to send the file back when I am done. |
| 12:54.49 | alex_joni | d-lo: I have about 10 of these files, but I don't think the bother is worth it :) |
| 12:55.04 | alex_joni | if I can convert it to a solid (even if it looks funny around those holes), I'm happy |
| 12:55.34 | alex_joni | now.. you said there is a flag I can change so I can convert it from g to some other solid format? |
| 12:55.45 | d-lo | alrighty. Just noticed that the smaething is happening in the middle with those tab thingys about halfway up |
| 12:56.04 | d-lo | Just curious, why do you need it 'solid' ? |

| 15:43.11 | brlcad | terminology snafu -- "Archer and BRLCAD are very similar" .. Archer is a component of BRL-CAD, I believe he meant MGED instead of "BRLCAD" .. MGED and Archer are very similar |
| 15:43.18 | brlcad | ( alex_joni ) |
| 15:45.19 | brlcad | those external tools that had trouble with dxf weren't ours -- and that 1.5GB limit is almost certainly a 32-bit app trying to read in the entire file in and running out of memory |
| 15:45.31 | brlcad | (at least, running out of 32-bit addressable memory) |
| 15:52.08 | brlcad | alex_joni: also, fwiw -- depending on your version of AutoCAD (and I assume you mean autocad and not a tool from GD specifically called 'ACAD') -- they're even inconsistent on their interpretation of their DXF spec |
| 15:53.23 | brlcad | dxf spec itemizes illegal characters, none of which we use iirc, but then there are some versions of autocad that won't read various other characters (e.g., the slashes) |
| 15:54.29 | brlcad | and there was a long time where there was ambiguity on whether all faces were 4-points or whether 3-point faces (i.e., triangles) were valid .. so if you had a triangle and only 4-point 3dfaces were allowed, you had to repeat the last point per the spec |

| 19:22.42 | _sushi_ | y |
| 19:24.23 | brlcad | hrm, need more of the build log |
| 19:25.10 | _sushi_ | seems I am getting this problem http://www.mail-archive.com/brlcad-tracker@lists.sourceforge.net/msg00113.html |
| 19:25.17 | _sushi_ | I am trying autogen.sh |
| 19:25.29 | _sushi_ | autogen.sh passed |
| 19:25.48 | brlcad | ah, yeah |
| 19:25.52 | brlcad | that's probably the problem |
| 19:26.33 | brlcad | _sushi_: can you post a full build log somewhere? |
| 19:26.52 | _sushi_ | now the ./configure is printing endless cycle of configure: Would you like to continue with /usr as the install prefix? [yes/no] |
| 19:26.54 | brlcad | don't have the problem here to reproduce it so a fix can be made |
| 19:26.55 | _sushi_ | configure: Please answer 'yes' or 'no' |
| 19:26.56 | _sushi_ | and ignores my keyboard input |
| 19:26.58 | _sushi_ | configure: |
| 19:27.03 | _sushi_ | Even if I paste "yes\n" in one mouse-click |
| 19:27.12 | _sushi_ | Before it worked without the autogen.sh |
| 19:27.33 | brlcad | you're installing into /usr ? .. yikes |
| 19:27.45 | _sushi_ | Yes the previous brl-cad was installed into usr |
| 19:27.59 | brlcad | k, still surprising :) |
| 19:28.13 | _sushi_ | I am actually reinstalling because of rendering bug in 7.10.4 |
| 19:28.56 | _sushi_ | 7.10.4 renders my holder incorrectly http://ronja.twibright.com/3d/plazmatron_0.png |
| 19:29.20 | _sushi_ | The yellow thing is interrupted in the middle you can see the wand with the ball at the end ends in the air it shouldn't |
| 19:29.35 | _sushi_ | And the blue part is having a "horn" sticking out which apparently cannot have any mechanical function |
| 19:29.54 | _sushi_ | Well is there a way I can get through the endless loop of questions? |
| 19:30.18 | brlcad | if it stays stuck, you can set BRLCAD_ROOT_OVERRIDE and it'll skip the yes/no question, though I'm curious how it got stuck in a loop |
| 19:30.30 | brlcad | post your configure file somewhere |
| 19:30.47 | brlcad | it's a simple loop that just does a read until it gets a yes or a no |
| 19:31.24 | _sushi_ | Good I hacked the yes test in configure |
| 19:31.58 | _sushi_ | replaced read with assignment =yes :) |
| 19:32.25 | _sushi_ | I am still getting the tclsh error |
| 19:32.43 | brlcad | you would have to rebuild cleanly |
| 19:33.20 | _sushi_ | http://twibright.com/typescript |
| 19:33.27 | _sushi_ | what should I do to rebuild cleanly |
| 19:38.19 | _sushi_ | The configure AFTER runjning autogen.sh is at http://twibright.com/configure |
| 19:39.54 | _sushi_ | Now it compiles suspiciously long. The problem may be gone. |
| 19:40.21 | _sushi_ | Actually isn't. Still pops up: /bin/sh: /home/clock/brlcad-7.14.0/src/other/tcl/unix/tclsh: No such file or directory |
| 19:41.32 | _sushi_ | trying --enable-all... |
| 19:41.36 | starseeker | brlcad: here's the bomb log from the pipe raytracing crash: http://pastebin.bzflag.bz/m35029930 |
| 19:44.37 | _sushi_ | When I do rm config.cache* then ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-all then it crashes on a different error: |
| 19:44.50 | _sushi_ | ./src/htmltcl.c: In function 'configureCmd': |
| 19:44.50 | _sushi_ | ./src/htmltcl.c:1351: error: 'HTML_DEFAULT_CSS' undeclared (first use in this function) |
| 19:49.47 | brlcad | http://twibright.com/configure is a 404 |
| 19:50.12 | _sushi_ | ah connection refused |
| 19:50.17 | brlcad | ah, server is down |
| 19:50.24 | _sushi_ | it's a friend's apache tomcat |
| 19:50.40 | _sushi_ | when it crashes you usually wait for a short time and it's up again |
| 19:51.24 | brlcad | that backtrace is useless, it's for the wrong thread |
| 19:51.37 | brlcad | unfortunately |
| 19:51.45 | _sushi_ | brlcad: you are not talking about my log now are you? |
| 19:51.58 | brlcad | yep |
| 19:52.05 | _sushi_ | the typescript is useless? |
| 19:52.34 | brlcad | well, yeah, it's fairly useless too other than it confirmed that it's the same problem as the one you found on the mailing list |
| 19:52.50 | brlcad | but no, I mean http://pastebin.bzflag.bz/m35029930 isn't useful unfortunately |
| 19:53.22 | brlcad | the automatic bomb report only shows the main thread -- if it's ray-tracing, there are potentially lots of threads |
| 19:53.31 | brlcad | could try -P1 to force single cpu |
| 19:53.59 | brlcad | or attaching with a debugger while it's running to get a proper trace for any one of the threads |
| 19:55.49 | _sushi_ | brlcad: http://twibright.com/configure is up again |
| 20:00.28 | brlcad | don't see anything wrong with your configure script unless you have a bused 'read' command |
| 20:00.39 | brlcad | run this one-liner: |
| 20:00.40 | brlcad | echo "type yes or no" ; while true ; do read a ; case "x$a" in x*[yY][eE][sS]*) a=yes ; break; ;; x*[nN][oO]*) a=no; break; ;; x*) echo "answer yes or no" ; ;; esac ; done ; echo "you answered $a" |
| 20:01.50 | brlcad | that's the exact same logic it's using |
| 20:03.55 | _sushi_ | makes this - no loop: |
| 20:03.55 | _sushi_ | type yes or no |
| 20:03.55 | _sushi_ | yes |
| 20:03.55 | _sushi_ | you answered yes |
| 20:04.30 | _sushi_ | This one fortunately isn't critical while I can hack it easily |
| 20:04.48 | _sushi_ | But how to get through the one with tcl or the one with CSS I have no idea |
| 20:06.14 | _sushi_ | brlcad: can I produce some better typescript that tells you more about the cause/ |
| 20:10.50 | _sushi_ | brlcad: what's interesting if I don't run autogen.sh (using the configure from the tarball), it doesn't make the infinite yes loop. |
| 20:11.17 | _sushi_ | if my read were screwed up, then it would happen even in this situation |
| 20:25.48 | _sushi_ | Even symlinking the system-wide tcl into the required directory doesn't help - compiles for a long time then makes: //home/clock/brlcad-7.14.0/src/other/incrTcl/.libs/libitcl.so: undefined reference to `TclVarHashCreateVar' |

| 21:39.40 | brlcad | cool, http://www.kenradio.com/content/view/1756/30/ |
| 21:39.46 | brlcad | thanks ken |
| 21:41.07 | brlcad | _sushi_: I know it's not critical, it's just really odd -- if you still have the busted configure script, add a print statement on the x*) case to print the $bc_answer |
| 21:41.27 | brlcad | otherwise we'll just ignore it |
| 21:42.10 | brlcad | by your 'read' being messed up, the difference is in which interpreter is getting used, whether read is external or built-in (shell) command, etc |
| 21:43.07 | brlcad | starseeker: oh, nice -- badmagic's in boolweave are pretty rare |
| 21:43.53 | brlcad | _sushi_: give me a shell somewhere and I could try to produce a build interactively |
| 21:44.30 | brlcad | otherwise, you could try using the latest sources -- tcl version is different there |
| 21:46.12 | brlcad | starseeker: wince all you like, but that is actually one of the most valuable bits of logic in librt |
| 21:46.40 | brlcad | highly optimized and tuned to exact behavior, tolerance corrections, interference detection, and performance |
| 21:48.01 | brlcad | I've attempted to rewrite it to be "more clean" about a half-dozen times and every single time I've either killed performance or changed behavior |
| 21:48.20 | brlcad | it'd be interesting to come up with a test harness that exercises every line of code in there |
| 21:49.37 | louipc | There's some spam here: http://brlcad.org/d/node/31#comments |
| 21:49.59 | brlcad | starseeker: once it's more complete, coil can move to src/shapes |
| 21:50.10 | brlcad | (like at the point that it gets documentation) |
| 21:50.30 | brlcad | louipc: huh, thanks .. that's odd |
| 21:50.38 | brlcad | no comments are supposed to post without moderation |
| 21:53.31 | louipc | hmm, probably better to lose the comments altogether eh? |
| 21:57.22 | brlcad | louipc: possibly, though there are a few that are useful |
| 22:00.56 | brlcad | there's so few that actually got through, makes me think that they're actually real people behind them |
| 22:01.05 | brlcad | 4 in total |
