grid
associative entities from solid model, as a special group
rounding, as a special group

-----
line styles (color, thickness)
loop detection
IGES export
incremental regen of entities
Improve convergence of constraints involving parallel vectors, by using the initial numerical guess of whichever vector is already known to choose our projection planes. And add a mechanism to defer showing the text window or regenerating, in order to simplify dependencies on valid actives. Also yes/no/cancel when about to abandon an unsaved file, and a bugfix when rotating a rot/trans point. [git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1772] 2008-06-04 02:28:41 +08:00
Add beginnings of marching surface intersection; I can find all the boundary points, at least. That required some changes to what gets passed around (for example because to project a point onto this inexact curve, we need to know which two surfaces it trims so that we can do a Newton's method on them). And fix stupidity in the way that I calculated edge normals; I just did normal in uv space, and there's no particular reason why that would be normal in xyz. So edges in long skinny surfaces failed, for example. [git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1990] 2009-06-19 15:56:33 +08:00			`grid`

Add a special constraint type for comments; no equations, just user-visible text. And make points hoverable/selectable even when GW.showPoints is false, and zoom to fit before regenerating on file open, because then we're at the right zoom level (and will use the right pwl tolerance).

Generate additional edges wherever a front- and back-facing triangle join. And add controls to show and hide the solid model edges (independently of the shaded mesh), and to suppress the shaded triangles from SVG/EPS output.

Add code to subdivide (with de Castljau's algorithm) a surface, and use that for surface-line intersections. That has major problems with the heuristic on when to stop and do Newton polishing. There's also an issue with all the Newton stuff when surfaces join tangent. And update the wishlist to reflect current needs.

Show a progress message when regenerating is slow. And update the version number to 1.4, don't include force-hidden entities when building the loops, and don't show force-hidden entities when that entity gets copied.

Add routines to remove T intersections from the mesh, which are introduced by the bsp routines. It's usually, though not always, possible to generate a watertight mesh. The occasions where it's not look ugly, floating point issues, no quick fix. And use those to generate a list of edges where two different faces meet, which I can emphasize for cosmetic reasons (and some UI to specify whether to do that, and with what color). And make the right mouse button rotate the model, since that was previously doing nothing. [git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1821] 2008-07-06 15:56:24 +08:00
