IRC log for #brlcad on 20121002

00:12.15 brlcad elf_: the patch looks like it has a problem to me
00:16.28 brlcad elf_: more specifically, the changes to simulate.c look like it'll scale objects depending on their bounding box position
00:17.17 brlcad consider what will happen if I simulate a box 900mm^3 with another 1100mm^3
00:21.44 brlcad also, if the bounding box values are in position, then comparing them against 1000 would be wrong -- that needs testing or explanation in the code
00:22.02 brlcad pretty much any time you put a constant number in the code, you need to explain it in a comment

04:37.29 brlcad looks like nearly all of the old code is really pretty clean with respect to single precision
04:37.43 brlcad it's all the new nurbs code that gets it horribly wrong all over the place
04:38.45 brlcad this will make a great regression test...
04:45.25 elf_ brlcad, the changes in simulate.c are supposed to change the bb values, BRL-CAD like you said keeps the units internally in mm and transforms them on the fly in the working unit, but when transferring them to bullet they don't get transformed in meters if they are are meters, they get transfered without being transformed so bullet gets a big number
04:45.34 elf_ that it considers to be in meters
04:45.43 elf_ it was a temporary fix

12:20.19 pawleeq hello
12:23.07 pawleeq I am trying to convert one Pro/E model to BRL-CAD, however I end up with error... here is the output: http://pastebin.com/uBKBGgwS
13:17.26 brlcad starseeker: huh?
13:18.14 brlcad pawleeq: can't reach pastebin.com, can you post to a different one?
13:18.52 brlcad starseeker: oh, I was responding to you: 07:31 < starseeker> hmm... CIA really got clobbered this time
13:19.41 brlcad see the three lines after
13:22.39 brlcad ``Erik: MAT_INIT_IDN and MAT_INIT_ZERO ftw
13:57.55 starseeker brlcad: ah.
13:58.40 starseeker somebody upgraded something and kaboom?
14:00.34 pawleeq here is another link, sorry for the delay http://pawleeq.com/iges-g-trouble.txt
14:17.32 brlcad starseeker: not exactly, it's a bit complex
14:18.07 brlcad there are several efforts to get things restored, but it'll likely be a couple weeks before we get something back in place
14:41.10 brlcad pawleeq: our iges importer is not set up for the entity types you exported from pro/e
14:41.53 brlcad pawleeq: I suggest either trying our new step-g importer or obj-g importer (or use our legacy Pro/E plugin)
14:42.38 brlcad see http://brlcad.org/d/node/95 for that
14:42.53 brlcad recommend trying step though first
14:43.41 pawleeq ok thank you
14:48.21 pawleeq well, step-g produces empty database, obj-g ends with "Core Dumped"
15:08.01 brlcad pawleeq: ouch!
15:08.13 brlcad pawleeq: what version are you on?
15:08.34 brlcad they are both experimental, but should have gotten a little farther than that
15:09.02 brlcad if you post your step and obj file somewhere, I can take a look at converting them
