triangle list before adding to the BSP, and check if a point in
plane lies in multiple triangles and choose the one with the
biggest normal magnitude (i.e., area) when testing normal
direction.

for that, and storing the triangles instead of rendering them
immediately. Not sure if that's smart; in theory could change from
implementation to implementation, but the results look much better
than I would get myself.
[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1733]
not very well; I'm doing a b-rep, where the boundaries are complex
polygons, and there's too many special cases. I should probably
replace this with a triangle mesh solution.
[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1731]
as a constraint on the direction cosine, rather than driving the
dot product against a rotated vector to zero. The drawing is the
ugly part; to do that for skew lines, I gave up.
Also add a function to clear non-existent items on the selection
after solving, since that could have caused an oops().
[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1727]
we need something to force the points into plane, and the workplane
supplies that), but otherwise straightforward. And add diameter and
equal radius constraints for the arc.
[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1718]
list, and then adding a new entity to that list, and then looking
at that pointer again. Not okay; the add operation might have
forced a realloc. I have to watch for that.
And add a "distance ratio" constraint, plus a new kind of group
that comes with its own workplane. The workplane is not solved for;
it's generated explicitly in terms of elements that are already
solved.
[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1716]
translation; or equivalently, rotation about an arbitrary axis).
Those will be important for step and repeats, and for imported
parts.
Also fix a terrible memory corruption bug: I was freeing the remap
list after I loaded it from the file, but the code that put that
into the SS.group list made only a shallow copy.
[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1715]
constraints. And generate the constraint equations for entities
(e.g., that our unit quaternions have magnitude one). Numerical
troubles there, but it sort of works. Also some stuff to draw
projection lines with projected constraints, and to auto-insert
more constraints as you draw.
[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1711]
vectors", represented by unit quaternions. This permits me to add
circles, where the normal defines the plane of the circle.
Still many things painful. The interface for editing normals is not
so intuitive, and it's not yet clear how I would e.g. export a
circle entity and recreate it properly, since that entity has a
param not associated with a normal or point.
And the transformed points/normals do not yet support rotations.
That will be necessary soon.
[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1705]
diagonal elements of the matrix summed to -1. Now it's ugly, but I
think that it's correct. And add a command to flip the view to the
other side, which is what started my problems. And tweak display of
H and V and M for constraints: put them in the constraint plane, so
that they're stationary as you rotate around.
[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1704]
stuff, though no file load stuff, and perhaps this can all be made
to work from a table somehow. Move the quaternion stuff into its
own class, and add a fancy animated view when you orient onto a
csys.
[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1672]
on-screen, and I can drag the label. That's progress. Also
implement a bunch of untested expression stuff, since I'll need
that for the values of the dimensions, for example.
[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1668]
just for display, and any text entry will happen via some floating
text box, same as entering a dimension on the sketch.
Add the hover and selection mechanism, which now seems to work.
Still not clear how to do imported parts, for assemblies and
hierarchy. The handle formats may still have to change.
[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1662]
and I am assuming that many more operations will require lookups in
the IdList<>.
Add code to represent and draw a 2d coordinate system. The origin
is described by a point, and the orientation by a quaternion. So
now it does the same thing before, and draws the reference planes,
but with a lot more lines of code.
[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1658]
draw planes that I will use to do the datum planes. Still haven't
settled upon the request/entity/group structure, and that's the
dependency before doing much real.
[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1656]
the text window every time we refresh the graphics window, because
that's slow. Use classes instead of structs for everything; I don't
understand the template handling for structs. And implement the
IdList, which I will try to use in many places.
