from an extrusion, with piecewise linear trim curves for everything
(that are shared, so that they appear only once for the two
surfaces that each trims). No Boolean operations on them, and the
triangulation is bad, because gl seems to merge collinear edges.
So before going further, I seem to need my own triangulation code.
I have not had great luck in the past, but I can't live without it
now.
[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1899]
so now we've got the exact curve loops, with their direction
standardized so that we can tell which direction is out. We still
need the polygon in any case, since that's a convenient way to find
each curve's winding number.
And remove some more leftover code from mesh sweeps.
[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1897]
but the mesh doesn't get combined. That effectively hides it, good
for looking inside and such.
[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1860]
lets us export open curves, if the user drew them that way.
Also increase the limits on how many pwls we will generate for a
single curve.

theorem; it's evaluated as a surface integral over each triangle.
And don't regenerate the emphasized edges unless we have to;
specifically, don't do it when the only dirty group is the
drawing group.

groups, rename "drawing" groups to "sketch" groups, and keep
assembling even after finding an open curve.

specify the plane from which we want to grab the triangles. Shared
edges are then removed with the same code used to check for
watertight meshes, and the remaining edges are assembled into
polygons.

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.

liked, but my more parametric attempts were very difficult to use.
The pitch (both axial and radial) gets specified by typing a
distance in a textbox.

separate groups. The section is swept normal to the trajectory,
producing a mesh. I'm doing the triangles only now, not copying
over any entities.
Also fix a bug in the PNG export; rows are 4-aligned, so that was
breaking when the width of the image wasn't divisible by four. Also
fix a bug in lathes, where it generated overlapping triangles for
one segment.
And change the groups to record both "this mesh", the contribution
due to the extrude/lathe/whatever, and the "running mesh", that we
get after applying the requested Boolean op between "this mesh" and
the previous group's "running mesh". I'll use that to make step and
repeats step the mesh too.

that perspective in the gl matrices, and also everywhere that I
check mouse pointer positions against the model, and for the zoom
to fit.

and rotates, auto-constrain translates in active workplane, speed
up remap list search with a hash table, other stuff.
[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1786]
just the mesh, no derived entities (but I suppose that I could turn
all points into circles).
And fix some bugs where equations didn't get unique IDs, and make
it possible to lock on to the group's workplane automatically, if
you press W while free in 3d with no workplane selected.
