00:45.35 boj I'd like to share a repo, https://github.com/mcneel/Rhino5Samples_CPP, it gives lots of examples on how to use openNURBS APIs.
01:12.09 starseeker brlcad: I think step import times can still be quite long for non-trivial models...
01:13.24 brlcad sure, but I'm wondering if we can characterize one or the other as giving a better result overall
01:14.44 brlcad probably amounts to full hierarchy plus suboptimal but mostly good geometry vs less/no hierarchy but better geometry overall
01:19.18 starseeker the 3dm geometry will be as good as the Rhino importer (when converting from something else)
01:19.52 starseeker I know of a few cases where our STEP import worked better, but not many
01:28.52 brlcad i'm thinking of the seam-crossing geometry that we reparameterize
01:29.21 brlcad no reparameterization when it's already in 3dm format for us
01:29.43 starseeker nods - I don't have any real sense of how common that is, or whether our pullback method for 2D trimming curves creates files larger enough than the 3DM process to be an issue for performance
01:29.54 starseeker keith might have some sense of that
01:31.38 brlcad hoping to tag and post before then ;)
01:31.59 brlcad I'll just mention both
01:32.15 starseeker nods

12:22.11 ``Erik yowza, 121 removed cmds, don't suppose there will be a doc with what was removed and what to do instead?
12:22.28 brlcad they are listed in the CHANGES file
12:26.47 ``Erik in a very human unfriendly format, sure :D not sure sed s commands with actual regex are the way to communicate with the modelers and other 'mere mortal' consumers
12:27.50 brlcad that list of commands was separately communicated in a plain categorized list a few months ago
12:28.33 brlcad basically an RFC window to respond, got 3-4 people responding "yay! do it!" :)
12:29.05 ``Erik I must've missed that :) just something on my mind after dealing with several of apples "this is deprecated, but we'll make sure you can't find the new way"

13:48.19 Notify 03BRL-CAD:brlcad * 68592 brlcad/trunk/src/tclscripts/plot3-dm/CMakeLists.txt: update the install path to the right location too
14:01.15 Notify 03BRL-CAD:ejno * 68593 brlcad/trunk/src/librt/reduce_db.cpp: remove unused function warning
14:06.01 starseeker ``Erik: those were the "easy" ones, most of which probably haven't been run by anyone in many years
14:07.11 starseeker ``Erik: we didn't list all of the image converters and geometry converters formally yet, because icv and gcv aren't yet to the point where we can say "just run this other tool with these options to do the same thing"
14:07.28 *** join/#brlcad amarjeet (~amarjeet@101.211.209.7)
14:09.14 starseeker that'll be at least another 20 binaries deprecated just for the image conversion, and more when you factor in the other image manipulation commands (those will end up as "filters" for icv, but we haven't fleshed out the command syntax we want to use yet)
14:10.37 starseeker for gcv, it'll be something like 40 binaries deprecated, but that'll be a challenge - step in particular isn't likely to lend itself to an easy refactoring into plugin status
14:11.22 *** join/#brlcad boj (~boj@210.75.252.226)
14:13.06 starseeker ``Erik: oh, the sig tools are also going to get reworked into a "cv" command that does data conversions
14:14.52 starseeker there's some other consolidations too - the framebuffer related commands are good candidates, especially the format specific ones
