00:31.43 starseeker kunigami: you haven't been able to determine the reason it's not working?
00:31.49 starseeker kunigami: have you asked on the osl list?
03:05.05 bhinesley if anyone has a minute, I'd really appreciate a review of this patch: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3309109&group_id=105292&atid=640804
03:06.31 bhinesley it changes mged's text box for inputting a new database name to a better dialog
03:08.19 bhinesley help a young noob earn svn access ;-)
03:08.28 bhinesley *commit

03:59.47 bhinesley thanks :)

14:02.58 dloman lol
14:06.08 crazy_imp heyho
14:06.22 crazy_imp how can i translate & rotate a group in mged?
14:06.48 crazy_imp (or convert the given group into a solid, which would be fine too :)
14:07.30 dloman either use the 'matrix selection' menu or the
14:07.43 dloman 'oed' command
14:08.25 dloman either way, the concept is to prvide a path from the root of the db tree all the way down to a solid, splitting the path where you want to edit
14:12.14 crazy_imp is it possible to show the commands issued by the matrix selection?
14:12.45 dloman that i dunno
14:12.49 dloman if your path is:
14:13.07 dloman all/armor/upper/toparmor.r/toparmor01.s
14:13.33 dloman then the oed command for editing 'upper' would look like this:
14:13.56 dloman oed all/armor/ upper/toparmor.r/toparmor01.s
14:14.02 dloman that would put you in matrix edit mode
14:14.28 dloman you should, at that point, be able to manipulate 'upper' and everything in the tree below it.
14:14.59 dloman for rotations, please note that the keypoint of toparmor01.s will be the 'rotate about' point
14:16.17 crazy_imp ok, thanks :)
14:16.25 dloman no prob!
14:20.47 crazy_imp dloman: what kind of "object" is armor?
14:22.05 dloman combination
14:22.30 dloman object type path: comb/comb/comb/region/prim
14:22.58 crazy_imp k
14:32.51 crazy_imp with the oed command i only get one primitive :|. let's say i have foo.r made from a.s, b.s and c.s (as union) -> 'oed foo.r /b.s' edits only b.s
14:33.11 dloman correct.
14:33.35 dloman the first object on the right hand path will be the object in edit
14:33.39 dloman so in your case
14:33.50 dloman if you: 'B foo.r'
14:34.03 dloman then 'oed / /foo.r/a.s'
14:34.11 dloman you will be in matrix edit mode on foo.r
14:34.45 crazy_imp \o/
14:52.06 *** join/#brlcad Stattrav (~Stattrav@unaffiliated/stattrav)
14:53.40 crazy_imp dloman: is it possible to have a second region like foo.r, made from the same solids but at a different position (making the changes only to the region and not to the solids) - so if i change the solid, it'll be changed in both regions?
14:54.01 dloman yes, that's basic instancing.
14:54.10 dloman just do a copy
14:54.22 dloman 'cp foo.r foo2.r'
14:56.57 crazy_imp hm, oed / /foo2.r/b.s fails now
14:57.13 dloman is foo2.r displayed?
14:57.21 dloman via 'e foo2.r' ?
14:58.00 crazy_imp ah, ok :)
14:58.42 crazy_imp but i can't change the solid now, sed b.s says it's "multiply referenced" (which makes sense)
14:58.44 crazy_imp brb
14:59.19 dloman you can edit the solid individually with 'sed' command, just not via matrix edit
15:10.51 crazy_imp it's a little bit confusing i can't edit the original b.s, but if i change foo2.r/b.s every b.s changes :D
15:16.43 dloman yeah :/ a lot of times, instancing is more trouble that its worth.
15:20.33 crazy_imp the other way round would be more intuitive imho
