10:58 <spuz> Hi, does anyone know the current state of the measure tool feature? I am using the latest nightly Windows built but the feature does not appear to work

10:58 <spuz> not sure whether it's worth raising an issue as I'm using a nightly built after all

10:59 <spuz> build*

11:00 <Scopeuk> the point of nightly builds is to test and troubleshoot new features

11:01 <Scopeuk> if you have a specific error it is worth raising a ticket and it can be triaged

11:01 <pca006132> you need to enable the manifold feature

11:06 <spuz> pca006132 ah thanks! yes it works now. I'm glad I asked here

11:16 <guso78> PCa i should Work on this limitation thought...

11:23 <Scopeuk> hmm that probably depends if we do intend to move solely to manifold in the near future

11:23 <Scopeuk> backported cgal support is fine, but is wasted effort if that ceases to be a common use case in the next release

11:56 <pca006132> it is possible to use polyset instead of ManifoldGeometry?

11:56 <pca006132> not familiar with the implementation details

11:56 <pca006132> that way there is no need to do it for every backend geometry

12:05 <guso78k> i believe we just need one additional conversion from NefPolyedron  to polyset, its really easy task, i just dont remember right now, where to put it

12:06 <spuz> Can you suggest a better way to create this shape? It is a box with rounded corners, a rounded base and a flat top. This method works but when using the measure tool, it gives dimensions of 29.97 x 49.97 instead of 30 x 50. I'm not sure if this is due to inaccuracy in using minkowski or inaccuracy of the measure tool itself but it's confusing me

12:06 <spuz> and throwing off my sanity checks: https://pastebin.com/YRTwsYPJ

13:08 <InPhase> spuz: Reference examples here: https://github.com/rcolyer/smooth-prim

13:09 <InPhase> Oops, timing.

13:32 <spuz> InPhase: I'm not sure how to make the shape I want out of those primitives

16:44 <otsakir> I've recently submitted a PR regarding a small improvement in the UI:

16:44 <otsakir> https://github.com/openscad/openscad/pull/5031

16:44 <otsakir> Is there anything else do be done for my part to get this reviewed ? Someone to ping etc?

17:28 <InPhase> otsakir: The algorithm sounds solidly designed. The automated tests are still running (and presumably should pass fine), but then since it is primarily a gui behavior change someone will need to find a moment to manually test it.

17:34 <otsakir> Thanks :InPhase. It's my first contribution and i don't really know how this goes.

17:34 <otsakir> Btw, wdym by

17:34 <otsakir> >  The automated tests are still running (and presumably should pass fine),

17:34 <otsakir> ?

17:34 <otsakir> I submitted my PR three days ago.

17:35 <Scopeuk> I believe pulls by new contributors have to be authorised before they start running, it's been a while since I did it

17:40 <otsakir> Ok. I was just wondering. Thanks Scopeuk +1

17:40 <otsakir> Ok. I was just wondering. Thanks Scopeuk

19:06 <InPhase> Scopeuk: Right, I forgot about that. I still had the window open in the background and clicked it.

19:07 <InPhase> I only glanced earlier in that direction and saw no green checkboxes, and didn't even read what was there. :)
