* Add ''brep <objname> create_curve <x> <y> <z>'' to create a template NURBS curve.
 
* Add ''brep [options] <objname> move_curve_CV <curve_id> <CV_id> <x> <y> <z> <w>"'' to move control vertex of a NURBS curve.
 
 
==Tuesday, May 30th, 2023==
 
 
* Add the entry and judgment for the number of parameters of ''brep [options] <objname> in_curve <is_rational> <order> <CV_count> <cv1_x> <cv1_y> <cv1_z> <cv_w>(if rational) ...'' Use ''in_curve'' for create NURBS curve with detailed info.
 
* Learn the code of ''in'' command, hope users could input parameters step by step like ''in'' command.
 
 
==Wednesday, May 31th, 2023==
 
 
* Use uniform knot vector for ''in_curve''. Now the created curve by ''in'' is valid.
 
* add ''brep [name] curve'' entry. Add libged/brep/curve.cpp.
 
* Optimize feedback of wrong parameter number of ''in_curve'' cmd.
 
 
==Thursday, June 1st, 2023==
 
 
* Have a short meeting with Daniel. The brep/NURBS editing operations shall be implemented in ''libbrep'' instead of ''librt''. Refer to ''nmg_mm()'' function and ''ON_boolean()''.

==Tuesday, June 6th, 2023==
 
 
* Solve function declarations in ''libbrep/edit.h''. ''brep_create()'' shall be accessed by c files. ''brep_make_curve()'' shall be accessed by cpp files and compiled as C++. Because it uses openNURBS.
 
* Reorganize ''brep [name] curve make [other infos]'' and ''brep [name] curve in [other infos]'' to ''libbrep''.
 
 
==Wednesday, June 7th, 2023==
 
 
* Move ''curve move_cv'' function to libbrep.

==Monday, June 19th, 2023==
 
* Learn about curve/surface operations in Rhino.
 
Add three TO-DOs of milestone 1:
 
 
1. close curve (make an open curve closed. the two end point shall be overlap)
 
 
2. join (given two curves, attach them end to end, get one curve with C0 at connection. The two end shall have same Cartesian coordinates. If not, use move control vertex first)
 
 
3. detach (split one curve into two given parameter value)
 
 
==Tuesday, June 20th, 2023==
 
* Add ``brep .. curve join ..`` cmd.
 
Join the end of curve_id_1 to the start of curve_id_2. Delete the two old curves. '''The index of C3 is changed'''. If the two curve ends is not matched, match them.
