My name is Deepak Kumar. I'm from India. I'm a final year student from Information Technology.
I want to contribute in BRL CAD community through BRL CAD GUI project.
I have knowledge on Qt framework and I'm familier with c++ and Qt framework.
Please guide me from where I can start?
Thank you.

Himanshu (Mar 13 2023 at 09:28):Hi @Deepak Kumar. Welcome to our community. Previous year I had made some progress by adding select feature and some fix to GUI. You can read here https://brlcad.org/wiki/User:H1manshu/GSoC2022/Project_Report.
Himanshu (Mar 13 2023 at 09:30):Here is the Arbalest GUI https://github.com/BRL-CAD/arbalest. The readme will help you to build the gui.
Himanshu (Mar 13 2023 at 09:31):Go through the mged tutorial https://brlcad.org/w/images/c/cf/Introduction_to_MGED.pdf. Mged is the legacy GUI. The tutorial will show you how to create primitives, assign material properties, ray tracing, and many more.
Himanshu (Mar 13 2023 at 09:36):Feel free to ask questions.

Thank you sir.
Rest of work I'll do it.

Ok sir.
Deepak Kumar (Mar 14 2023 at 16:04):@Himanshu Sekhar Nayak
I have gone through your contributions and I also see what is pending.
I'm willing to contribute in this project and finish the rest of the work.
Can you please guide me.
@Daniel Rossberg sir you also guide me.
Himanshu (Mar 14 2023 at 16:06):Are you able to build arbalest ?
Deepak Kumar (Mar 14 2023 at 16:22):Yes sir.
Deepak Kumar (Mar 14 2023 at 17:20):I'm also successfully install mged also.
Himanshu (Mar 14 2023 at 19:12):Hover around arbalest and see what you can propose. There is a left over work in resizing objects through mouse selection. See what gets you more interesting.
Himanshu (Mar 14 2023 at 19:15):Compare mged with arbalest. This will help you. In meantime, you can learn mged too. Its a good reference for arbalest.
Deepak Kumar (Mar 15 2023 at 09:17):Ok sir.

No sir is ok for me. :smile:
Deepak Kumar (Mar 15 2023 at 10:28):Sir are you also contribute in this project this year?
Himanshu (Mar 15 2023 at 10:31):Deepak Kumar said:

I am mentor this year.
Deepak Kumar (Mar 15 2023 at 10:31):Ok sir.
Deepak Kumar (Mar 15 2023 at 10:32):Sir I'm little bit confused in the installation of arbalest.
Deepak Kumar (Mar 15 2023 at 10:34):I'm follow the github repo this which was provided by you.
https://github.com/BRL-CAD/arbalest
Himanshu (Mar 15 2023 at 11:31):What you are confused for?
Deepak Kumar (Mar 15 2023 at 11:32):Sir BRL-CAD install succesfully.
Tutorial :
https://brlcad.org/wiki/Compiling
Deepak Kumar (Mar 15 2023 at 11:34):arbleast and rt-cubed is included in BRL-CAD installation or should i install manually?
Deepak Kumar (Mar 15 2023 at 11:38):I git clone, build and install BRL-CAD according to the arbleast README.md file
Himanshu (Mar 15 2023 at 12:00):Deepak Kumar said:

These are not included in brl-cad package. You need to build them separately.

You can now play around mged.

Himanshu (Mar 15 2023 at 12:03):@Deepak Kumar https://github.com/BRL-CAD/arbalest/blob/main/README.md you can follow this to build arbalest.
Deepak Kumar (Mar 15 2023 at 12:04):Ok sir.

How difficult is building rt-cubed in windows?
Deepak Kumar (Mar 15 2023 at 12:13):Sir I'm using Linux.

Not started building yet, read the INSTALL file and assumed windows is not commonly used to build, so I thought it will be difficult
Deepak Kumar (Mar 15 2023 at 12:26):Maybe this tutorial is helpful for you.

I built BRLCAD successfully, the issue is with building rt-cubed
Daniel Rossberg (Mar 15 2023 at 16:48):At least the coreinterface and arbalest can be build with MS Visual Studio too. Be sure to set the BRLCAD_BASE_DIR CMake variable to your BRL-CAD installation directory.

To build rt-cubed in windows:
BRLCAD_BASE_DIR to your build. Let for example mine is C:/Users/Himanshu/Desktop/Workspace/brlcadBuild/Debug.BRLCAD_VERSION to 7.36 Mohit Halder (Mar 05 2024 at 09:30):Hello everyone,
I'm Mohit Halder, a final-year undergraduate, from India.
I intend to contribute to the new BRL CAD GUI, I am used to developing frameworks in wxWidgets but am familiar with Qt framework, and in general, I am extremely comfortable with C++ and am confident in the skills in the same.
I would appreciate some guidance on getting started. Looking Forward to working with u.

Hi Mohit, welcome to our community. I see you are familiar with Qt framework. Then let's directly start with building brlcad https://brlcad.org/wiki/Compiling. Once your build is successful, try mged tutorial https://brlcad.org/w/images/c/cf/Introduction_to_MGED.pdf, so that you can decide which features you can bring it in to our arbalest. For building Arbalest, you need to build moose and then arbalest. Arbalest is built upon moose. https://github.com/BRL-CAD/MOOSE, https://github.com/BRL-CAD/arbalest
