02:34.54CIA-30BRL-CAD: 03johnranderson * r29968 10/brlcad/trunk/src/gtools/g_diff.c: fixed two bugs. One was incorrect use of strcmp. Second was not counting some differences found. Fixes bug #1865987
02:50.08CIA-30BRL-CAD: 03louipc * r29969 10/brlcad/trunk/misc/archlinux/PKGBUILD.in:
02:50.08CIA-30BRL-CAD: Install script actually shouldn't be in sources.
02:50.08CIA-30BRL-CAD: No need to specify source tarball since the build scripts are included in the dist.

14:11.02b0efdo you need proe to convert proe files in brlcad?
15:41.18MinuteElectronbrlcad: On the wiki? If so I'll tweak some settings to make images with a large file size (that is less than the PHP limit) upload without a warning and maybe you could install ImageMagick which I can then enable in MediaWiki and has better performance than GD?

18:38.32brlcadb0ef: yes, you do -- we have a pro/e plugin that you run from within pro/e
18:39.01yukonbobhello, cadheads
18:39.34brlcadotherwise we'd have to link against granite and that's no fun
18:39.52brlcadhowdy yukonbob
18:41.06brlcadMinuteElectron: imagemagick is already installed though gd's been fine so far too
18:41.44brlcadthe warning was anything over 150kb i believe .. I'd probably up that to 1mb
18:42.10brlcadnot too unreasonable for a CAD site to host images/screenshots/renderings that large
18:42.24brlcadjust crazy to use them that big embedded in pages :)
18:43.17b0efbrlcad: right, the problem I have is that the openmoko team, which designs a cell phone, is releasing their files on the cell phone case, which are done in proe; what format do you think we should request from them?
18:43.36*** join/#brlcad Z80-Boy (i=clock@77-56-86-122.dclient.hispeed.ch)
18:43.43brlcaddon't know if I mentioned it, but I noticed that IE6 is looking great on the header now .. except for the menu.  you can't see the text -- flashes up and then is either behind the green or not displayed
18:44.10brlcadthe menu links are still there and active, so I think the green is just in front of the text somehow
18:44.33Z80-Boybrlcad: BRL-CAD has some facility to calculate a movement of a 4-wheeled vehicle
18:44.56Z80-BoyIs it possible to use it to calculate a movement of a straight riding skateboard over a deformed terrain?
18:45.06brlcadb0ef: I'd say the original pro/e files as well as an iges, step, dxf, and stl export :)
18:45.55b0efbrlcad: why all of them?, and is DXF able to hold all the data?
18:46.39brlcadZ80-Boy: yeah, but it's really hard to use frankly .. some of the animation tools (that may or may not still work, written 15 years ago) will calculation movements and interpolate along specified paths, or interpolate between positions
18:46.53brlcaddxf and stl wouldn't be faithful
18:47.13Z80-BoyI'm just trying to figure out The Central Theorem of Skateboarding
18:47.35Z80-BoySeems like the forward/backward error signal is actually the angular acceleration of the skateboard
18:47.57Z80-Boyone source of this is when the curvature changes
18:48.17Z80-Boythen assuming the speed doesn't change, the rate of turn (angular speed also changes)
18:48.39b0efsomeone else to help?; is iges able to hold all the proe info and does brlcad import iges well?
18:49.00Z80-BoyAnother is when you are riding uphill/downhill and the pavement is curved, then the skateboard is experiencing a slowdown/speedup from gravity and that translates into an angular acceleration
18:52.28Z80-BoyShould be possible to shape a halfpipe so that at a certain speed, these two effects would completely cancel out...
19:01.13CIA-31BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r29973 10/brlcad/trunk/src/libwdb/brep_stub.c: add trailing newline
19:02.41CIA-31BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r29974 10/brlcad/trunk/configure.ac: turn brep stuff back on

19:35.00CIA-31BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r29975 10/brlcad/trunk/src/proc-db/brep_simple.cpp: clarify the maybe comment .. and get rid of the conditional brep_simple.g creation -- always create the .g file
19:55.35CIA-31BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r29976 10/brlcad/trunk/src/proc-db/brep_simple.cpp: make sure we could make the twisted cube before calling mk_brep
20:46.57MinuteElectronbrlcad: Upload warning size increased, sorry about the problems with the corners not being fixed (I know it is the last thing left) - I've been trying various solutions, but the bugs are still very odd and I've only been able to fins a fix for the bottom right corners of the sidebar blocks so far. I'll continue to look into it however.

22:52.06brlcadb0ef: iges is usually pretty faithful and preserving..  but it's also a generalized container format in which you can store a variety of representations
22:52.23brlcadthat's why I mentioned just having them provide several conversions
22:52.32brlcadso you can see what works best
22:53.59brlcadthere is an iges-g that you can try out, it has like three or four different formats it supports, one being nurbs, another being general 3D brep, another being tessellated solids, iirc
