| 01:27.26 | Miesco | So its white |
| 01:29.04 | brlcad | Miesco: want the gui answer or the command-line answer? |
| 01:29.27 | Miesco | brlcad: both please |
| 01:29.30 | brlcad | and have you read the mged tutorial -- it covers the gui answer |
| 01:29.41 | Miesco | brlcad: I am reading it |
| 01:29.50 | Miesco | brlcad: the one for beginners |
| 01:30.27 | brlcad | #2 at http://brlcad.org/wiki/Documentation |
| 01:30.29 | Miesco | Im doing the project where you create a globe in a frame |
| 01:30.34 | brlcad | okay |
| 01:30.41 | brlcad | that's one of its lessons |
| 01:32.02 | Miesco | I dont think that it told me |
| 01:32.08 | Miesco | How do you? |
| 01:32.17 | Miesco | I looked through the whole refrence |
| 01:32.22 | Miesco | both of them |
| 01:33.31 | brlcad | it definitely tells you :) |
| 01:33.36 | Miesco | aw man, what page |
| 01:33.44 | Miesco | Whats the command line way to do it |
| 01:33.48 | brlcad | page 73 |
| 01:34.10 | brlcad | if it's a primitive, you can use Primitive Selection on the Edit menu |
| 01:34.25 | brlcad | if it's a combination/region/group, you use the Matrix Selection on the Edit Menu |
| 01:35.04 | Miesco | thanks |
| 01:35.34 | Miesco | primitive is what you get from make right? |
| 01:35.41 | brlcad | yes |
| 01:36.46 | brlcad | if you turn on misc->faceplate and misc->faceplaye gui then you can also use the 's' keybinding in the graphics window, then move your mouse up/down to select objects for editing |
| 01:37.12 | brlcad | the command line way is either using the 'sed' command or the 'oed' command for primitives and combinations respectively |
| 01:37.50 | brlcad | there's a nice detailed tutorial on the oed command on the website, #5 |
| 01:38.10 | brlcad | the mged quick referecne card (#2.1) lists both of them under editing |

| 03:05.08 | poolio | <PROTECTED> |
| 03:06.10 | starseeker_ | Hmm - brlcad, is oed supposed to work if you just give it a primitive? Or should that be sed only? |
| 03:06.30 | brlcad | it's not presently supposed to work |
| 03:06.46 | brlcad | but it certainly could be made to work |
| 03:09.41 | brlcad | something like: oed {lhs rhs | object} and if object is a primitive, it just does the same as sed; if it's a combination, it uses the center of bb and applies as "/ object" |
| 03:10.27 | brlcad | oo, even better: oed [lhs] {path} |
| 03:11.43 | brlcad | where if lhs is missing, it defaults to / and path can be just an object name (prim or comb) which causes it to use center of the BB of the rightmost path element (which is the BB of that element if you do just "oed obj") |

| 04:00.22 | pacman87 | are you talking about mates in an assembly? |
| 04:01.35 | brlcad | Rabbitbunny: why would be be in #cad? |
| 04:01.36 | Rabbitbunny | Well, It's related to mates... But yes it's an assembly of tubing which creates a double wishbone suspension. |
| 04:02.04 | Rabbitbunny | brlcad: Because brlcad is pretty related. |
| 04:02.30 | brlcad | and more importantly, why would we want to provide support for a non-commercial package that someone supposedly paid a high penny for while what we do is for free ;) |
| 04:02.59 | brlcad | Rabbitbunny: so is #c and a couple dozen channels, but that's not a reason to hang out there ;) |
| 04:03.20 | Rabbitbunny | Because not everyone has 3d rendering on their linux box. |

| 04:06.13 | brlcad | if we received the money that was sent to dassault for that license, I might be more receptive ;) |
| 04:06.20 | Rabbitbunny | Well, obviously, But truth be told I never considered an oss cad system. |
| 04:06.38 | yukonbob | Rabbitbunny: you've come to the right place to start considering :) |
| 04:06.52 | brlcad | you're paying them to support you, make them support you :) |

| 04:07.45 | yukonbob | or snorting cocaine off of strippers |
| 04:07.59 | brlcad | heh |
| 04:08.03 | Rabbitbunny | Well yeah, But I figure they're too old for that. |
| 04:08.10 | Rabbitbunny | Maybe the marketing guys are. |
| 04:08.33 | brlcad | oh, i know a couple of the dassault guys .. they'd be up for at least half that statement ;) |
| 04:10.37 | Rabbitbunny | heh 'Solid Modelling for a strong defense' |
| 04:10.48 | Rabbitbunny | I think the project history may be fun to read. |
| 04:12.10 | brlcad | if you have any questions about brl-cad, be more than happy to answer them :) |
| 04:12.45 | brlcad | the industry diagram might be a useful starting point for you (under Documentation) as well as the introduction |
| 04:13.55 | brlcad | we don't have nearly the manpower, resources, or development investment than the major commercial CAD packages have, but we do get the job done if you are willing to climb the learning curve (we are definitely rather different) |
| 04:14.29 | brlcad | usability isn't a strong point, but support, customization, and development momentum are |
| 04:15.00 | yukonbob | suggests s/usability/easy introduction/ |
| 04:15.28 | yukonbob | like people say about Unix -- it's user friendly, but just picky about who it's friend are... |
| 04:17.49 | brlcad | yeah, that's probably a better way to put it -- especially given our best modelers are just as efficient in brl-cad as they are in commercial cad systems (they tell us) |
| 04:22.27 | Rabbitbunny | It can't be too bad, I didn't even do the SolidWorks course. |
| 04:23.23 | yukonbob | Rabbitbunny: with BRL-CAD, expect a steep learning curve. Think of something steep. Double it. Double it again. But once you're over that, pure joy. |

| 04:25.38 | hml | you read it before? |
| 04:25.46 | jonored | notes that this sort of learning curve is exactly why he's unlikely to bother much with anything else - not everyone is afriad of the steep curve. |
| 04:28.34 | Rabbitbunny | Well, there are two types of curves. Concepts and Memorization. SolidWorks forced me to learn a lot of concepts. Hopefully brlcad isn't all about memorization. |
| 04:28.54 | Rabbitbunny | I see references to vi and emacs, somewhat forboding. |
| 04:29.41 | yukonbob | Embrace the fear. Come. Join the Free Side. |
| 04:30.54 | jonored | Ah, but you get so much power from a proper editor like one of those... |
| 04:34.34 | Ralith | in my opinion, steep learning curves are the best kind |
| 04:34.44 | Ralith | lots of work, but a very rewarding height once you're up there |
| 04:34.53 | Ralith | also |
| 04:34.56 | Ralith | [21:03]<Rabbitbunny>Because not everyone has 3d rendering on their linux box. |
| 04:35.14 | Ralith | I'm pretty sure BRL-CAD is usable if you don't even have an X server. |
| 04:35.18 | Ralith | although compiling it might be hard. |
| 04:35.54 | Ralith | the only realtime rendering currently done in the bits I'm aware of is very simple wireframes :P |
| 04:36.04 | Ralith | which can probably even be done at usable speed in software. |
| 04:36.24 | jonored | There's also, you know, rt... but that's a raytracer, which isn't generally done with hardware. |
| 04:36.32 | jonored | (or rather, specialized hardware.) |
| 04:36.41 | Rabbitbunny | Oh, I have X. It just doesn't do 3d. It's a p2-733 with 320Mb ram and an Intel i810. Xfce is pushing it. |
| 04:37.14 | pacman87 | Rabbitbunny: is that what you're running solidworks on? |
| 04:37.34 | Rabbitbunny | No, I run SolidWorks on the Windows box. |
| 04:37.48 | Ralith | Rabbitbunny: if you look at the gallery, there's a photo of BRL-CAD in use on a PDP-11. |
| 04:37.50 | pacman87 | *sigh of relief* |
| 04:37.53 | jonored | I'm running BRL-CAD quite comfortably on a similar system, but I think substantially lower clock. |
| 04:37.57 | Ralith | I'm pretty sure those don't have 3d accel either. |
| 04:38.23 | pacman87 | i've got a pIII 800 mhz w/ 192 mb ram ( i think |

| 04:39.40 | Rabbitbunny | My server is a p2-450 with 128mb and no X. Slowest box I've ever owned. |
| 04:42.51 | Rabbitbunny | Yes, I'm young. |
| 04:43.42 | pacman87 | i think my dad had a 286 and a 386 |
| 04:43.51 | jonored | It's nice having a machine you can drop from a yard up, take out in the rain/dust/freezing, and replace for $50. Snappy, too, with lightweight software on it. |

| 04:48.20 | jonored | Ralith: Might up to one of the CF-19s sometime. 4lb, ultra-low-power core duo, good graphics, and a tablet, all on the same durability spec as my beast. |
| 04:48.28 | hml | brlcad: cool, I think i'm going to start out trying to implement that paer (and learn from it -- not trying to reinvent the wheel here -- and port the brlcad code if I fail) |
| 04:49.15 | jonored | (girlfriend has one of those, it's impressive.) |
| 04:50.39 | brlcad | Ralith: compiling brl-cad for non-X11 use is pretty simple actually, just set a flag and you have non-gui-only |
| 04:51.09 | pacman87 | use rt -F/dev/brainlink |
| 04:51.52 | Ralith | brlcad: ooo, cool |
| 04:51.54 | brlcad | but yeah, even for full functionality we don't require opengl |
| 04:51.57 | Ralith | i didn't think that was actually supported |
| 04:52.28 | Ralith | jonored: I like being able to game ^^ |
| 04:52.56 | brlcad | Rabbitbunny: brl-cad actually should run on a IIe if you had the right tools and environment to compile :) |
