03:07.59 boj Hi brlcad, could you help checking my recent work on plate mode NURBS and give me some suggestions?
03:19.45 *** join/#brlcad kintel (~kintel@unaffiliated/kintel)
03:21.51 *** join/#brlcad boj (~boj@210.75.252.226)
03:28.02 brlcad boj: which recent work, writeup or code? didn't see a discussion..
03:30.18 *** join/#brlcad boj (~boj@210.75.252.226)
03:30.43 brlcad boj: just saw your note to the list ... daniel has you on the right track ;)
03:32.58 boj thanks brlcad, what I do now is to start from a simple case, and refine it later..
03:34.21 boj what I am doing now is acceptable? or do I need to make any refinement?
03:35.42 brlcad acceptable, absolutely .. it's excellent progress
03:36.01 brlcad at this rate, you may end up ahead of schedule working on additional tasks like tessellation ;)
03:36.36 brlcad getting global thickness to work right is probably adequate, maybe even sufficient
03:37.27 brlcad we don't actually use the bot per-face thicknesses and they bloat the serialized size substantially/unfairly the way they're currently stored
03:37.41 boj yes, that is what I do at present, I think it is a simple case and just make it global..if necessary, I can try to modify it to per-face, will not be a hard problem..
03:37.59 brlcad note you can also create some simple test cases manually if you need to
03:38.04 brlcad see src/proc-db/*.cpp
03:38.22 brlcad there's a couple nurbs cubes in there that shows how they can be constructed manually
03:38.39 brlcad could trivially create a non-solid single surface patch and get it working
03:38.47 boj yes, I write a new tool called brep_surf.cpp, it just generate a single surface.
03:39.11 brlcad nods, saw that
03:39.19 brlcad didn't know if you used the proc-db examples or whipped it up yourself
03:40.09 boj not really, I mimic the examples like brep_cobb and brep_cube..and create a brep_surf. :)
03:40.37 brlcad okay, good that you found them
03:41.37 boj what I worry about is, part of my code in brep_surf is a duplication from brep_cobb/brep_cube
03:41.56 boj so is brep_surf really necessary?
03:42.36 brlcad not long-term, but we need some means to create plate-mode until ray tracing is working
03:43.03 brlcad proc-db is a sandbox for testing out new ideas, not user tools
03:43.26 boj yes, that is what I think, just using it as a test case..
03:43.30 boj :)
03:43.34 brlcad originally for creating complex geometry through simplified procedures
03:44.02 brlcad most of the useful proc-db's gradulated to src/shapes as proper documented tools
03:44.34 brlcad i don't see this needing to graduate ;)
03:44.42 boj do I need to work toward this target?
03:45.17 brlcad what target?
03:45.48 boj trying to make a brep with thickness in MGED.
03:46.17 boj besides, what is src/shapes used for?
03:46.22 brlcad eventually there should be some means, but import makes sense first since that's where they're coming from now
03:47.12 brlcad if you pull a random .step file, it will likely have non-solid nurbs entities in it
03:47.19 brlcad iges is the same case too
03:47.44 brlcad so just focus on getting ray tracing working like bots ;)
03:47.56 brlcad for a simple single surface
03:48.06 boj yes, that is my work next week. :)
03:48.44 boj thanks brlcad :)
03:48.48 brlcad sure!
03:49.02 brlcad continues working on getting all that terrain data off of .bz's full hard drive
03:49.28 brlcad maths22: wiping out jenkins... buildbot wins :)
03:49.59 brlcad maths22: you apparently had it checking out the whole repo (every branch every version)... huge :)
03:50.16 brlcad no worries, though, workdir is wiped
