- commit #1: filling out vertex info with structures to avoid errors with incomplete data structures
- getting crash in nmg_mvu on line 365: BU_LIST_APPEND(...); need to investigate.
- use case for above: 'make modelname nmg', then 'nmg cmface modelname coords'
- rechecked patch https://sourceforge.net/p/brlcad/patches/387/
- verified by compiling with STRICT enabled. posted build.log to sourceforge.
- problems with compilation apparently not associated with changes. builds fine with STRICT disabled.

- Appointment with retinal specialist from 9:30am to Noon PST.
- Not be able to work today due to pupil dilation.
Fri, July 3, 2015
- Midterm summary located at link
- still investigating nmg_mvu issue for ged_nmg_cmface subcommand:
- likely that the vertexuse is being improperly treated for loop creation.
- should there be a vertexuse present in the model for the new loop (prior to nmg_mvu call from nmg_cmface)??

Mon, July 6, 2015: Start of Week 7 (of 14)
- commit #1 fixed issue with missing bu_list in vertex struct
- while commit #1 provides a "working" call to nmg_cface with three verts, the face is not visible in the render window??
- ged_nmg_cface appears to make the proper calls...
- once problem is found with rendered model, need to extend for n verts (should be trivial)
- commit #2 attempt to fix issue with ged_nmg_cmface crash in nmg_info/nmg_findeu(); in loop
Tues, July 7, 2015
- received good direction from brlcad in irc
- reviewed http://www.google-melange.com/gci/task/view/google/gci2014/5546966268248064
- reviewed http://brlcad.org/wiki/NMG
- previously unaware that nmg models could be created with ged_put
- todo: need to plan high-level subcommands after cmface working
- todo: check winding order in cmface, as http://brlcad.org/wiki/NMG mentions potential crashing with incorrect winding order
non-brlcad time expenditures...
- spent some time applying for positions
Wed, July 8, 2015
- investigated put / get database commands.
- should illuminate sequence of calls needed by subcommands for nmg api calls
- posted related questions in irc
- todo: use info from above to fix mged calls implemented in libged/ged_nmg_cmface.c
- commit #1: null commit to synchronize to github from nonlocal repos
non-brlcad time expenditures...
- oil changed for car; 3 hour wait!
- wrote essay, etc. for instructor position application
Thurs, July 9, 2015
- need to follow the code from this sequence of calls using 'put' CLI:
- ged_put()
- rt_nmg_make()
- rt_nmg_adjust()
- above sequence of calls creates an nmg object and adds verts / faces
- revamp *ged_cmface* using preceding process.
- note: apparently using nmgmodel.c was not the best example of manifold nmg object creation!
- todo: once ged_cmface() properly impl and submitted as patch, can move on the spec for high-level subcommand list; perhaps vert / face removal subcommand CLI routines are the easy to start with??
