tricky; can't just use the dot product, since that blows up when
you cross pi radians. A gear shift approach, use either sin or cos,
same kind of thing as the 3d-parallel constraint.
And report a NaN constraint as unconverged, of course.
[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1890]
constraint structures based on user input, and one for generating
equations from the constraints.
[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1885]
are added. There was already precedent for that, since I
auto-remove horiz/vert constraints when symmetry constraints are
added.
[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1875]
applies to whichever is closer to original position, and angle
constraint, if the two vectors are lines that share an endpoint,
applies to vectors out from that shared point.
[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1863]
in the numerical code.
And clean some other stuff, in particular simplifying whenever I
have to take the maximum (or minimum) of three quantities.
[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1855]
as the difference between the cosines of the two angles. All of the
angle stuff generates huge expressions (Expr *), but doesn't seem
noticeably slow.
[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1847]
These are just a convenience, since it would be possible to get the
same result by drawing a construction line.
[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1836]
degree angle, but shows with a right angle symbol instead of a
numerical angle you can edit.
[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1819]
same orientation constraint is applied; this makes convergence
easy. And don't hover faces or constraints while dragging
something.
[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1798]
point-line distance equal to line segment length. These are
available in both normal and projected versions, with fancy display
for all of these.
[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1793]
an Expr *, since that complicates multiple units and also memory
management. Now it's just a double.
[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1791]
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).
[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1788]
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.
[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1780]
and requests to a separate list. It's messy, because I have to make
a deep copy (e.g. of the remap list for the groups, or Expr *
stuff) of some things. Others (e.g. the polygon or mesh) will be
regenerated, so they should be discarded, but they must not get
double-freed.
In any case, works superficially. And fix a few memory leaks
unrelated to this, and remove some dead code.
[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1775]
BSP stuff works. The failures are reported with red stripes and no
depth buffering, and in a message in the text window.
Also improve convergence of point-on-line constraints, and don't
write triangles to export files with limited precision, because
that was making the coplanar tests fail.
[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1774]
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]
becomes dirty when the user makes a change, and only the dirty
groups get solved. That's a huge effective speedup.
Also add delete function for groups. That has an interesting issue;
it actually ends up recursing on GenerateAll(), since GenerateAll()
calls ClearSuper(), ClearSuper() might need to recreate a group (if
all the groups were deleted), and that would activate the group,
which calls GenerateAll. The right solution is probably a deferred
execution mechanism, where you can schedule something to happen
before we go idle, but not do it right now.
[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1771]
in one place. And remove the ability to disable the solver, since
that's unlikely to be anything but confusing (and in any case, was
badly implemented). This is in preparation for selective solving,
of only the dirty groups.
[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1769]
metadata. And add point-on-face constraints to go with that. Still
needs some cleanup for the user interface.
[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1766]
create a `new' stack-allocated instance of an object; just From,
possibly different versions with different arg types.
[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1763]
more starting work on the selectable faces, and fiddling in an
attempt to remove dependencies when stuff gets deleted.
[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1760]
so e.g. a new extrude starts in free space, which is likely what
you want. And default to an in-workplane group, and tweak the
display of workplanes.
[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1748]
and in the case of a singular Jacobian, report which constraints
can be removed to fix it. Also a mechanism to hover and select
entities and constraints from the text window.
[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1746]
implement that. Also make solver work only between the first and
last visible group; earlier can just work from previous solve
result, and later don't matter.
There's some issues with the csg code; it will eventually produce
an open mesh, which is very bad. Not sure whether that's a logic
bug, or a numerical issue; still generating absurd triangles pretty
routinely.
[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1741]
that's in a group that solves after the current group. This means
that the constraint/request gets deleted instantly, and stuff like
auto-constraints on the just-created entities blow up. I now check
that the active workplane comes from the active group or one solved
before it.
[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1729]
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]
the coordinate system (x, y, z normal vectors) in the bottom left
corner of the screen at all times, and hide group-created
workplanes except when that group is active, and activate that
workplane when the group is activated.
[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1726]
use the horizontal or vertical axes of the active workplane. The
equations that we write from these are very fast (of the form u + v
= 0, or u - v = 0).
[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1720]
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]
constraints work mod 180 degrees, so that it snaps to however the
workplane was drawn (more vertical vs. more horizontal).
[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1714]
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]
remap when I copy circle entities, in order to make the radius
numerical somehow (analogy with the POINT_ and NORMAL_XFRMD) thing.
[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1710]
segments), add the toggle construction command, and color the lines
differently depending on what group you're in.
Also change dynamic memory stuff to use a Win32 heap for everything
(no malloc), and validate that often. I think I've seen it crash,
though I can't reproduce it.
[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1708]
hadn't previously noticed, because I didn't use to have workplanes
with non-zero offsets. And clean up the interface to normals a bit.
[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1707]
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]
turned out straightforward, in great part because the planes are
workplanes (6 DOF, represented by a unit quaternion and a point),
and therefore make it easy to get a vector in the plane, as well as
a normal.
And on that subject, replace the previous hack for parallel vector
constraints with a better hack: pivot on the initial numerical
guess, to choose which components of the cross product to drive to
zero. Ugly, but I think that will be as robust as I can get.
[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1699]
not have much motivation behind them, but they seem to work. And
make sure that we don't solve multiple times without repainting in
between, and tweak the text window a bit more.
[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1696]
foreground and background colours are now specified separately, and
it's possible to insert half-line spaces. So now I have a window
that lets me show/hide groups, and select the active one.
