| 00:00.22 | Ralith | Maloeran: I think that's probably a metaphor for "don't come asking for compensation if a hurricane eats our distribution center." |
| 00:09.08 | Maloeran | I like the thought of them trying to prove that the hurricane was god's doing though |
| 00:09.22 | Maloeran | Plus they do mention natural disasters separately |
| 00:10.09 | Ralith | perhaps the breakout of nuclear warfare? |
| 00:10.53 | Maloeran | That would be god's fault too? :) |
| 00:10.57 | Maloeran | Ah, old good humans |
| 01:30.08 | ``Erik | there's a large list of "acts of god" in the US that allow insurnace cop-outs |

| 14:56.40 | Utopiah | hi #brlcad |
| 14:57.07 | Utopiah | so I discussed few days ago with a friend about plans for a house, we chatted about ArchiCad, AutoCAD, Archi3D then I wonder if there were any FOSS architecture software and thought about Blender then brl-card (thanks guys in #blender). So, ideas, suggestions, links? |
| 15:04.53 | ``Erik | um,BRL-CAD is right there if you want to do any kinda visualization of 3d analysis |
| 15:05.03 | ``Erik | we're not top shelf for drafting |
| 15:06.13 | ``Erik | I think qcad might be the top contender for architectural drawings? mostly, line drawings are tricky and overlays like dimension information is fairly manual |
| 15:07.11 | ``Erik | on the up side, we can do photon mapping to give you a pretty realistic "photograph" of an imagined structure, even do tricks to figure out radio wave propogation so you can see where your cellphone dead zones are, etc... :) |
| 15:08.40 | ``Erik | the resident guru is on vacation this weekend, he may be able to offer more information in a few days |
| 15:09.40 | ``Erik | <-- been planning on modeling his own house in BRL-CAD to experiment with furniture placement and purchase using the high fidelity raytracing to understand what it'd look like :) |
| 15:10.17 | ``Erik | my personal opinion is that it's more of an analysis tool for already existing or designed structures, not a drafting tool for building a structure, ... |
| 15:11.35 | Utopiah | objective is http://seedea.free.fr/persowiki/index.php?n=Content.Projetautonomieenergetique#result |
| 15:14.38 | Utopiah | (pretty mixed in topics and languages but I guess it help to get the idea ;) |
| 15:19.59 | ``Erik | meh, too much french :D |
| 15:20.19 | ``Erik | did you look at the gallery at http://brlcad.org/ ? |
| 15:20.19 | Utopiah | sorry, Ill re-organize and translate it soon |
| 15:20.52 | ``Erik | Maloeran speaks french, but is currently on a flight from dc to montreal |
| 15:20.54 | ``Erik | :) |
| 15:21.09 | Utopiah | Ill be in Montreal in few weeks |
| 15:21.22 | ``Erik | <-- never been |
| 15:22.38 | Utopiah | Ill be in NY too |
| 15:23.13 | Utopiah | but anyway, if I start to design a house in qCAD let's say then use BRL-CAD to do wifi/ light/ whaterver tests, will it works? |
| 15:23.19 | Utopiah | is a CAD/3D n00b |
| 15:23.25 | ``Erik | um, |
| 15:23.40 | ``Erik | qcad uses a line drawing format similar to autocad I believe |
| 15:23.48 | ``Erik | BRL-CAD uses CSG geometry |
| 15:23.59 | ``Erik | kinda different fundamental notions |
| 15:24.22 | ``Erik | we're all like latex style and they're all like word style, yo :D |
| 15:24.30 | Utopiah | :] |
| 15:24.41 | ``Erik | we do have a wide selection of importers and exporters |
| 15:25.04 | ``Erik | but any translation isn't going to be 100%, data may be omitted due to format differences, etc |
| 15:26.54 | Utopiah | yes |
| 15:27.32 | Utopiah | ( http://www.openarchitecturenetwork.org/ looked really cool but, down and no archive since 1 year) |
| 15:33.33 | Utopiah | updated http://seedea.free.fr/persowiki/index.php?n=Cookbook.Objects#architecture and included BRL-CAD |
