12:42.50 starseeker howdy yorik
12:43.06 yorik hi starseeker
12:43.16 starseeker how are things going?
12:43.42 yorik very good... just released a new version of freecad this WE
12:43.50 starseeker ah, nice!
12:43.54 starseeker 0.17 is out then?
12:44.04 yorik yes
12:44.08 starseeker congrats!
12:44.09 yorik fresh from the oven
12:44.25 starseeker which version of opencascade did you end up using?
12:45.35 starseeker is seriously jealous of your screenshots...
12:48.14 yorik on windows it's 7.2 i think, on ubuntu it's still 7.1 (will update that soon), on mac i'm not sure
12:48.49 yorik but the idea is to stay with the most recent of course.
12:48.55 starseeker nods
12:49.08 yorik some people from the freecad community are actually busy pushing 7.2 to debian...
12:49.36 starseeker grins - I'll be looking forward to that
12:50.03 yorik if all distros begin to adopt it (which is no more a problem because they are LGPL now), that will be a big step forward
12:50.04 starseeker does freecad expose the new opencascade work with "fuzzy" boolean operations?
12:50.10 yorik yes
12:50.15 starseeker awesome
12:50.48 starseeker yeah, was really happy to see them go LGPL - standard licensing makes a lot of things sooo much easier
12:51.24 yorik definitely
12:52.27 starseeker yorik: so what are the big goals for 0.18 now that you've got 0.17 handled?
12:59.24 yorik hah good question
12:59.28 starseeker yorik: out of curiosity, I noticed (at least in 0.16) that FreeCAD only offers STEP 214 export - does OCCT not provide STEP 203, or is it just uninteresting enough not to bother exposing in FreeCAD?
12:59.46 yorik I *think* both are supported...
12:59.56 yorik but i dont use step very often
13:00.14 yorik there should be something about that in the preferences I think...
13:00.33 starseeker is asking for purely selfish reasons - BRL-CAD has some 203 import capabilities, but 214 only works at the moment when it can be read "close enough" as a 203...
13:01.02 starseeker will check
13:01.36 starseeker iirc the export dialog lists "STEP with color" which is (at least) 214
13:02.02 *** join/#brlcad kintel (~kintel@unaffiliated/kintel)
13:04.07 starseeker "reading a STEP file" is kinda the CAD file version of "eating a buffet" - in one sitting. You have to handle a lot of quantity and a lot of different inputs to do it...
