07:25 <pca006132> kintel: use a triangulator that is robust against these issues :)

10:40 <J24k53> Why is the details for rot/trans view not actualized when hitting the view buttons?

12:33 <teepee> J24k53: what do you mean? the values in the status bar?

13:07 <J24k53> teepee that tab for where you can change it - the view port control ..  great now i changed the size of it and openSCAD froze

13:10 <J24k53> while the status bar show the actual - the control only change after moving the view - so if i click top view and then like to use the controls to rotate or move - it jumps back to the last view

13:13 <J24k53> I can't make sense of that behavior  -  so maybe i miss something here

13:46 <J24k53> teepee should i open an issue for that?

14:25 <teepee> J24k53: I saw the freeze issue, I think that's some circular dependencies with GUI updates or so. I though I had that fixed when changing the UI stuff some time aog

14:25 <teepee> *ago

14:26 <teepee> I agree that the viewport control should also update from the buttons, I assume that was just missed so far

14:42 <teepee> lol, wtf, that's awesome... https://fosstodon.org/@KennedyRichard/112972660978548715

14:47 <InPhase> A cute UI behavior. :)

14:47 <InPhase> The bottom videos show the ambiguity resolution functionality, so it probably also works practically.

15:07 <buZz> oh i hate this with a passion, lol

15:07 <buZz> hands and eyes, wtf man :D

15:07 <buZz> next update they add eyelashes

15:09 <teepee> maybe there could be a more stylized display, but the "I already preselected the potential target of the wire" seems like it might actually help

15:31 <Scopeuk> Ui style {"cute","formal"}

15:32 <Scopeuk> Could do ball, socket and filler socket/port colour highlight to get the same info without all the cute

15:32 <Scopeuk> But the cute is fun

15:44 <InPhase> It would alleviate some of the drudgery involved with making connections in such a tool. If you ever built something complicated with one of those manual connect systems, you will know how painful it can be at scale to do something that should really be automated.

15:45 <InPhase> That at least provides some automation for the last third of the task, and then symbolizes the computer helping you out with the cartoonish behavior. :)

15:45 <InPhase> I'd call that clippy done right.

15:52 <J24k53> if you have 20 possible connection nodes this probably becomes a bit creepy

16:02 <teepee> true, but that many identically weighted inputs on a single node are probably already an issue in itself

16:11 <Guest59> When I try to import an STL file into openscad and do any add anything on top of the model, I get the following error when I render the model:"ERROR: The given mesh is not closed! Unable to convert to CGAL_Nef_Polyhedron.".  If I render the individual components separately, it is fine, but the error ocurs when I render them together. I was not

16:11 <Guest59> able to find much info online about how to debug this. Does anyone know what could be going on here?

16:12 <teepee> likely one version of https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/OpenSCAD_User_Manual/FAQ#Why_is_my_imported_STL_file_appearing_with_F5_but_not_F6?

16:16 <J24k53> maybe manifold can fix something of it? .. else use hull() Ü  ..  Guest59 if your stl is not sound you can use some repair program to check (there are even online tools)

16:16 <J24k53> What can help if you move any part slightly - this can solve some errors

16:29 <Guest59> Thanks, teepee and J24k53 ! I am giving MeshLab a try to fix the STL files. Hull() does not work for me in general since the the object gets changed. APpreciate the help!

16:30 <J24k53> analyze in mesh mixer should show were the issue is

16:37 <Scopeuk> Guest59 if you are on windows I have also had good fortune with mesh repairs in 3d builder. I think prusa slicer can also do it these days but not played with that as much

16:38 <kintel> pca006132 Yeah, switching to Manifold's triangulator is on the radar, but it would be nice to have a working alternative in case we run into more issues (as well as being able to maintain an option to build without manifold for the time being)
