Guest11: Turns out that adding text to a part and making it configurable is at its core pretty simple!
<InPhase>
Guest11: It only gets tricky if the part design is very elaborate.
<Guest11>
THANKS. In any case, if a volunteer would like to carry out this project, let me know, it is paid work of course

Roughly what sort of design are you talking about? Some designs are so simple they're, frankly, not worth paying someone for unless you are acting on behalf of a company or are otherwise well funded and just want to have labor help. Harder designs can be legitimately worth paying someone for as skill makes certain things faster.
<Guest11>
It is for my company that I hold, hence the importance for me to offer financial compensation in return
<Guest11>
I upload an example to show you

And it's possible to use custom font J23k90 ?
<J23k90>
inPhase works - or are you referring to the horizontal support bar that is now not touching? ( olivier has deactivated the experimental features so i need to circumvent)
<J23k90>
Guest11 yes sure but not with the online editor .. with a local install and experimental features this will also look better and we can make different heights (so color change by laxer would give a nice effect)
<J23k90>
it is just a preview what you can expect
<Guest11>
Where can I contact you directly? Maybe Discord or Whatsapp?
<J23k90>
eww no .. you can pm here - or email - or on printables
<Guest11>
The font I want to use will greatly simplify your task
<Guest11>
By email very good, can you give me yours or send me your contact details? jobs@kom-tech.fr
<J23k90>
https://v.gd/ubaer here you also find an IBAN if that suits you more
<Guest11>
Without any worries, I just want to exchange more with you so we can go as far as I want, and I will make a generous donation :)
<J23k90>
yeah sure fine by me

J23k90: Yeah, I mean that if you went to try to insert that into a cake you'd have "E ȷ h"
<InPhase>
Solvable, of course. Just needs a good set of test cases like that to sort through.
<J23k90>
InPhase - you noticed that the custome font is script (connected)
<InPhase>
J23k90: I did not see that, but I only tried it on the site.
<Guest11>
Yeah, the final font is easier because all is linked :)
<Guest11>
Like the first example that i sended
<lf94>
So my CAD system needs a name
<lf94>
Candidates are: Manafold, Manikadabri, Summoner's System
<lf94>
The tag line is "Manifest manifold models with magical machinations"
<lf94>
I'm clearly aiming for a magic theme :)
<lf94>
SummonScript is another
<lf94>
But I'm afraid it'll give thoughts of it being a new language, when it isnt
<InPhase>
Please not Manafold even though it's clever. ;)
<InPhase>
There is already a Manifold.
<lf94>
I figured you'd say that
<lf94>
Starting to think SummonScript will be it
<InPhase>
What are its key characteristics/features? That might guide the name choice.

Creates models with code; uses SDFs underneath; has a tight feedback loop (edit -> save -> auto renders); everything is manifold thanks to libfive's restrictions
<lf94>
javascript, nodejs for the coding side
<lf94>
(no web browser support though, intentionally)

"SDF Wizard"? *shrug*
<lf94>
SummonScript is probably it
<lf94>
And I made the viewer reuseable, so that any system can use it :D
<lf94>
It uses a unix socket to read model data over
<lf94>
I think the only thing I want to add to it is the ability to draw schematic annotations
<guso78>
IT appears that there IS a timeout which triggers and Shorts Compilation
<kintel_>
Yeah, we have a time limit to allow CI servers to upload partial builds
<kintel_>
defaults to 24h
<guso78>
Hmm Strange
<kintel_>
but if it times out, just run again, and it will only rebuild necessary libs
<guso78>
I redo Qt now
<guso78>
Qt IS Huge 😜
<kintel_>
Yeah, it's quite insane, which is why we don't use it in OpenSCAD core, just for UI

Have you guys considered one of the few immediate mode UI libs
<lf94>
so you can drop qt
<InPhase>
I've absolutely considered it, for reasons of dissatisfaction with shifts in the Qt project. I did not do anything beyond consider it and mention that consideration in here perhaps a couple times.

I'm not entirely sure how good of an idea immediate mode UIs are, but they seem to have some intriguing aspects. I would just like them to have a better way to address the idle state.

Sometimes I've left OpenSCAD open for a few days. Should I really be eating even 0.5% of a cpu for a few days doing nothing? That's the same as it running at 100% cpu for about 20 minutes. I haven't figured out if I'm comfortable with that, and in a brief examination I wasn't able to find anyone who has resolved this sort of problem with the immediate mode UI choices.

<teepee>
you could see if all input drivers are disabled, those are the main thing that comes to mind as potential cpu eating in idle mode

Not sure if the file auto-refresh has been rewritten yet. It might burn some cpu too
<teepee>
ah, yes, good point. another candidate
<teepee>
both not related to the gui lib

I want to make high-res renders the OpenSCAD viewport. I guess that's limited by my screen resolution?
<teepee>
gui yes, commandline no
<dTal>
I've also noticed high idle CPU use.
<dTal>
The command line will do renders?
mmu_man has joined #openscad
<teepee>
sure
<dTal>
Neat
<dTal>
Is there a way to define custom color schemes?
dalias has joined #openscad
<teepee>
yep, drop a file into .config/OpenSCAD/color-schemes/render/
<dalias>
i just noticed for loops that produce geometry are a single node for the purpose of children(), not n nodes
<dalias>
is there any way to overcome that?
<teepee>
no
<dalias>
i want to apply a module to a for loop such that each object produced by the loop is one child
