| 00:03.15 | ``Erik | usually for something like a conversion to a facetized (triangles) format, you specify the 'top level' pieces and walk down stopping at the 'region' (single component of homogenous material), exporting all regions as seperate entities |
| 00:24.44 | DX^ | so I have to give specify each object on the command line? |

| 00:28.33 | ``Erik | a toplevel object, not necessarily all objects |
| 00:29.05 | ``Erik | for example, moss.g has a 'toplevel' of "all.g", but if you run g-stl on it, you'll get a dozen objects in the stl file |
| 00:32.40 | DX^ | that's ok |
| 00:55.55 | DX^ | I'm trying to use BRL-CAD to convert from say IGES to STL |
| 00:56.01 | DX^ | I was trying to make a .g file out of an IGES |
| 00:56.05 | DX^ | and then convert from .g to STL |
| 00:56.19 | DX^ | but from the command line it says I need to list an object(s |
| 00:56.22 | DX^ | ) |
| 00:56.30 | DX^ | and I'm not really sure how to find the top level object name |
| 00:59.07 | ``Erik | mged file.g tops |
| 01:34.03 | DX^ | god you people are smarts |
| 01:57.10 | DX^ | None of these converters seem to work with files created by Autodesk Inventor 2011 |

| 02:22.45 | starseeker | DX^: probably not natively - what format are you exporting to? |
| 02:30.03 | DX^ | I've tried IGES and STL |
| 02:30.20 | starseeker | dxf? |
| 02:31.25 | DX^ | I can't export from Inventor as DWF |
| 02:31.29 | DX^ | err dxf |
| 02:32.27 | DX^ | why an autocad product can't export as dxf? no idea |
| 02:32.45 | DX^ | I was going to try STEP, too |
| 02:32.51 | DX^ | but STEP converter compilation failed |
| 02:32.56 | DX^ | it's not a complicated file by any means |
| 02:33.01 | DX^ | it's an ellipse that I extruded |
| 02:33.07 | DX^ | should be pretty simple, or at least I thought |
| 02:33.16 | starseeker | what's the stl failure? |
| 02:33.41 | DX^ | one sec I'll tell you |
| 02:34.26 | DX^ | oh wait I'm an idiot |
| 02:34.29 | DX^ | I forgot to put -b |
| 02:37.28 | DX^ | iges still fails though |
| 02:37.59 | DX^ | Add_nurb_loop_to_face: Edgeuse/vertex mixup! |
| 02:38.02 | DX^ | is the error |
| 02:42.49 | starseeker | O.o |
| 02:42.59 | starseeker | is the file one you can make available as a test case? |
| 02:43.53 | DX^ | sure |
| 02:44.09 | DX^ | I have two, both are simple extrusions |
| 02:44.13 | DX^ | one is an extrusion of an ellipse |
| 02:44.23 | DX^ | the other is an extrusion of a squiggly NURB |

| 02:46.35 | starseeker | sweet - thanks! |
| 02:46.45 | starseeker | actually, if you can take it one step further... |
| 02:47.06 | starseeker | could you file a bug at our sourceforge site with the commands you used and attach the files to the bug report? |
| 02:47.45 | starseeker | (things like version of BRL-CAD used, platform (Windows XP, Redhat, etc.) would also help a lot |
| 02:48.49 | DX^ | sure |
| 02:49.04 | starseeker | it's at http://sf.net/projects/brlcad |
| 02:49.05 | DX^ | bah I gotta make a login :) |
| 02:50.26 | starseeker | ah, sorry about that |
| 02:50.58 | DX^ | it's no big deal |
| 02:51.02 | DX^ | apparently I can just log in with gmail |
| 02:57.06 | DX^ | Ok |
| 02:57.09 | DX^ | Both have been uploaded |
| 04:14.48 | starseeker | thank you :-) |
