kanzurefenn: ON_MeshSurface just seems to be "evaluate the normal of the given surface, figure out a vector and a point, and then throw that into a MeshFace object" also with some weird north east / north west / south east / south west index counting going on?00:15
kanzure"The meshing source code is not included with the free openNURBS toolkit."00:16
QuantumGhehe00:19
QuantumGso, here's another idea for ya, why don't you just calculate convex hulls00:19
QuantumGthere's some rendering tricks for intersecting them to get non-convex hulls00:20
QuantumGand it's about the fastest b-rep you can make00:20

kanzurethis really makes things a lot simpler.00:41

kanzure"Finally, the order parameters, uorder and vorder, can be different, allowing patches that are cubic in one direction and quadratic in the other, for example."00:47

kanzureactually some of this might be a moot point.. in the STEP output that i'm generating i have things like SPHERICAL_SURFACE which, in the STEP definition, isn't anything but a name (i.e. it doesn't define a spherical surface in the definition)00:54
kanzure"spherical is left as an exercise to the implementors" i guess?00:54
kanzurefenn: check out this weirdness00:58
kanzurehttp://www.steptools.com/support/stpship_docs/html/t_dimen-03.html00:58
kanzurean example from part203.exp: metre           :         RETURN(dimensional_exponents(1,0,0,0,0,0,0));00:58
kanzuresiemens         :         RETURN(dimensional_exponents(-2,-1,3,2,0,0,0));00:58
kanzurealthough radian and steradian are both RETURN(dimensional_exponents(0,0,0,0,0,0,0)); hm..00:59
kanzureoh. sphere is like the only case where this happens apparently.01:09
kanzureeven brlcad has to deal with it01:09
kanzurein brlcad-7.16.8/src/conv/step/BRLCADWrapper.cpp01:10
kanzureBRLCADWrapper::WriteSphere(double *center, double radius) is basically just: mk_sph(outfp, "s1", center, 10.0) or in other words a call to "make sphere"01:11
kanzureeverything else goes through BRLCADWrapper::WriteBrep which takes an ON_Brep which i'm guessing is the same ON_Brep object from opennurbs01:12

kanzuresomeone suggests adding a status to social networking websites for whether or not you have a communicable infection11:38
kanzureand then educating people to avoid contact with others during those periods when they are planning meetups and stuff11:38
kanzurethe argument is that this would effectively cut off the virus from spreading11:39
kanzuresocial isolation strategies like that could backfire i guess?11:39
