01:59.33 kkrcodes Hi! I've fixed 3 bugs and submitted a pull request for the Materials Database repository on Github. Please take a look! Thanks.
02:02.53 jasvir starseeker: there is a 'canvas' each in qged/main_window and qged/cadview, If I wish to use canvas for drawing, do I have to remove canvas from cadview and import main_window in cadview and user main_window's canvas where ever I have to draw?
02:02.55 brlcad will do, thanks kkrcodes
02:03.34 brlcad kkrcodes: just fyi, as the submission deadline approaches, reviews will get fewer and farther between because everyone wants attention
02:04.11 brlcad not getting to review / merge the patch before the deadline won't mean anything (they are reviewed when apps are reviewed and discussed)
02:05.13 brlcad jasvir: your question doesn't make a lot of sense to me
02:05.34 brlcad you don't have to do anything ... and you can do (nearly) anything
02:05.54 jasvir brlcad: Actually I talked with starseeker about cadview and main_window
02:06.07 jasvir he told me that cadview is just a stub and is not in use
02:06.08 brlcad I know, I saw the backlog
02:06.29 kkrcodes Sure! I'll be working on fixing more bugs and adding features in the meanwhile. :)
02:06.34 brlcad kkrcodes: sounds good
02:06.48 jasvir I found that there is a pointer canvas in both files
02:07.08 brlcad jasvir: we can tell you what we had in mind, but my point is that nothing is fixed in stone and can be changed
02:07.37 brlcad if you study the code and see a way to improve things, then they are probably worth improving (or planning to improve them)
02:07.56 brlcad if you want the current status explained, that's certainly different and potentially worthwhile
02:08.23 brlcad but asking whether to remove or keep something that he already told you was stubbed doesn't make sense
02:08.38 brlcad you figure out what would be best, act on it ;)
02:08.58 brlcad if you're selected for gsoc, we're not going to tell you what to do usually
02:09.03 jasvir Yes. I wanted to know what he/(brlcad community) think about it. Like to keep it or remove it. May be there is some plan behind that
02:10.15 brlcad I see that as minutia, asking a question that doesn't yet matter (because there's not a plan yet that cannot be easily changed)
02:10.37 jasvir I wanted to confirm so that I should not put efforts in wrong direction.
02:10.45 brlcad you also didn't ask that, you asked if you needed to remove it
02:10.56 brlcad which is asking to be told what to do, in essense :)
02:12.26 brlcad jasvir: yes, don't get me wrong -- discussion is great, required even
02:12.48 brlcad the more people discuss, the more we get to know each other and the more likely we'll make progress together
02:14.11 brlcad jasvir: do you understand the intended purpose of the canvas you proposed to remove?
02:16.51 jasvir AFAIK, it's not being used anywhere. But I don't know that whether it is their for some purpose or not. Currently it seems like a detached piece of code.
02:33.01 kkrcodes brlcad: This is an implementation detail, but I was just curious. The wiki page for Materials DB mentions a possible dataset is decided (name, density, young's modulus, equivalence factors, etc). The present implementation shows some of these. If you have the time, I'd like to know about the fields of the dataset. Cheers!
02:43.22 kkrcodes I've to disconnect now. Look forward to that discussion soon.
02:55.54 brlcad jasvir: if you don't know yet for what purpose it was added, then that usually means you have more homework to do studying the code ;)
02:58.24 jasvir Yeah. More than I thought :P
03:00.02 brlcad jasvir: unused and detached don't really matter, starseeker obviously said it was stubbed in, so you have to determine (by reading the code) whether to make it functional or do something different
03:01.00 brlcad certainly welcome to talk to starseeker more about this, but it sounds like you need to explore the code more ;)
03:02.53 brlcad you may also want to check out the gsoc work for 4 or 5 years ago to follow their progress working on a new GUI
03:03.49 brlcad http://brlcad.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/2009#Further_OpenGL_Geometry_Editor_GUI_development -> http://brlcad.org/wiki/User:Ralith
03:03.58 jasvir I know that by end of the day, I have to do it by my own. I was just looking for some views.
03:04.14 brlcad http://brlcad.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/2008#New_GUI_Framework_for_Modeling_and_Visualization too
03:04.49 brlcad you actually DON'T have to do it on your own ...
03:05.01 brlcad your questions just need to pass "the twinky test" :)
03:05.44 brlcad you have to be more productive than your questions and when you're getting started, your questions will not be very productive (this is true for most everyone)
03:06.54 brlcad that means you need to do a lot more homework earlier on so that your questions really are difficult and the project will progress faster overall by you asking than you not asking
03:09.34 jasvir Yeah. I can understand that that there is a lot of work to do ;)

17:38.24 Amritpal hello everyone, I'm working on ifc importer from brlcad
17:39.00 Amritpal I made a program which convert ifc file to stp file
17:39.01 Amritpal https://github.com/amrit3701/ifc2stp
17:39.12 Amritpal NOw what I can do next?
17:39.14 *** join/#brlcad simran (~simran@101.59.87.9)
17:44.14 Amritpal The above program remove ifc prefix from all the entities of ifc file and save it to new extension i.e. stp

19:24.21 brlcad Amritpal: that's good to help you get familiarized
19:24.44 brlcad now you should work on something that demonstrates your ability to read and modify either stepcode or brl-cad
19:26.09 brlcad maybe try hooking up a new gcv plugin (src/libgcv in brl-cad repo) or getting stepcode to work with the ifc files without stripping the prefix, demonstrating that working with a simple parser app
19:30.15 Amritpal brlcad: We will only take care of some procedural stuff of ifc i.e its implicit function (like extrusion) because it is not present in step's part42.
