guso78 Yeah, being able to render a mixture of geometry is probably going to be important. Perhaps we need to rethink the concept of a "Renderer" as something related to geometry types, and rather make Renderers just utilize VBOs created elsewhere
<kintel>
The main challenge is that the feature set across renderers isn't aligned, e.g. measurement tool only works on PolySet-based geometry, but what if PolySets are mixed with Nef polyhedrons?
<guso78k>
stealth, this is, because many many features of pythonscad are not yet merged. you are missing the explode operator
<guso78k>
kintel i have reasonable algorithms for measuring for OpenCSG and even NefPolyhedrons in mind. I was just not able to tell CGAL and OpenCSG my intent in their language.
<guso78k>
ok - my intent works for convex NefPolyhedrons for now

I have an odd issue with the dev snapshot. I was running a dev snapshot from a couple of months back (on Windows). When maximizing the window, the window frame (title bar, resize borders, close/size/menu buttons) disappeared. No biggie, I though, I'll just restart it. But, still no frame. Installing latest snapshot didn't work either. Resizing
<Troberg>
using keyboard didn't help. Restarting Windows didn't help. Old stable works (but not for me, as I use several of the new features). So, out of ideas and mostly feel "WTF???". Anyone seen the issue? Ideas?

Troberg: seen no, but one possible reason could be that it stored the messed up setup in config
<teepee>
it should be possible to remove that config stuff, I think in windows that's registry

teepee: Wouldn't that be in the binary blob in [window] inside OpenSCAD.conf?
<InPhase>
Troberg: If you have no settings to preserve, you can try clearing away your OpenSCAD.conf file while OpenSCAD is closed. Or selectively eiting that [window] section if you want to try to keep other settings.
<InPhase>
Troberg: By "editing" I think the best bet might be to just delete that whole section.
<Troberg>
I couldn't find it in the registry. Where should the conf file be?
<InPhase>
I think in: C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\
<Troberg>
Couldn't find it there, searching entire disk now...
<Troberg>
Nope, can't find it anywhere. Did a dir /s openscad.conf in c:\, should have found it.
<Troberg>
cd\

Sorry for the previous message, wrong window...
<Scopeuk>
I think you are looking for HKEY_USERS\<<some magic string>>\SOFTWARE\OpenSCAD\OpenSCAD
<Scopeuk>
I would be tempted to take a backup of the whole folder and then just blow it away
<Scopeuk>
in the registry that is
<Troberg>
I searched the entire registry for OpenSCAD, and found no key which seemed ever remotely relevant. I suspect that where the settings are stored has changed since the stable, as stable still works, but several versions of dev snapshots don't.
<Scopeuk>
that should be snapshot, I have that on my machine, but you are quite correct searching for openscad should have found it
<Troberg>
Finally cracked it! It was in the registry, don't know how I missed it earlier. Found it using procmon, logging writes as I changed settings. Was under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\OpenSCAD\OpenSCAD\. Just removed all the settings, fixed it.
<Troberg>
Thanks guys!
<teepee>
cool, I'll add the location to the wiki, so next time we know where it is :)

teepee: A good plan.

Troberg (if you read this): Any chance you took a backup and could figure out which key broke? I've seen similar issues and it would be good if we could find a way of ignoring old settings entries when people upgrade.
