01:21.13 starseeker this is interesting - it looks like ON_Mesh only has faces and verticies
01:21.52 brlcad like BoTs
01:22.27 starseeker does that make nmg->ON_Mesh a lossy conversion?
01:22.29 brlcad connectivity may be implied
01:23.21 Yoshi477 is there more docs on arbn?
01:23.22 brlcad not 100% sure, but shouldn't be from what I saw in the API for managing them
01:26.04 brlcad faq also says ON_Mesh faces may be non-planar.. which is pretty interesting
01:26.38 starseeker grinds his teeth - doggone it, it's so close to working as is...
01:33.40 brlcad the biggest key off is their ON_MeshParameters class that they use for tessellation (and the fact that it's the result of their generalized tessellation interface)
01:33.58 brlcad has some pretty advanced remeshing parameters
01:34.22 brlcad which are probably only used by the RhinoSDK but maybe not
01:35.25 brlcad the other is ON_MeshTopologyVertex and ON_MeshTopologyEdge and other similar classes that are basically nmg-style stitching connectivity

03:53.21 starseeker brlcad: Yes. What's not immediately clear to me (at least, not without more digging) is whether those *Topology* structures need to be manually created or whether they are deduced from an ON_Mesh via some routine
