=Integrated BRL-CAD Modeling Environment=
 
The Integrated BRL-CAD Modeling Environment (iBME, or spoken 'I-Beam') is the internal name for a project under development that aims to restructure the geometry management services within BRL-CAD and provide a new user interface.  More specifically, the restructuring aims to leverage an object-oriented design and encapsulate much of the existing functionality in BRL-CAD through three specifically layered interfaces.  The iBME project consists of three major pieces:

* [[iBME_GeometryEngine|Geometry Engine]] - C++ library consisting of the existing BRL-CAD libraries and added functionality such as integration of '''all''' BRL-CAD file format converters and SVN storage utilities.
* [[iBME_GeometryService|Geometry Service]] - Background service that leverages a Geometry Engine, a Session Manager, an Access Manager, and a Communications Manager to facilitate multi-user, multi-threaded, networked access to the Geometry Engine.
* [[iBME_GUI|GUI]] - Standalone 'thin client' that provides visualization and captures user input.  This thin Client is connected a Geometry Service via one of many communication mediums with network sockets being the most prevalent.

Project implementation particulars:
* iBME's core will be written in C/C++.
* OO Design will be leveraged to allow runtime-extensibility
* iBME leverages existing functionality in BRL-CAD's libraries and binaries
* The Geometry Engine provides compile-time bindings
* The Geometry Service provides a network protocol run-time interface
* Each of the three major pieces will be stand-alone products

-===The Geometry Service consists of three major pieces===
+[[GeometryServiceNetworkProtocol]]
-* '''Geometry Engine''':  The Geometry Engine(GE) is a stateless library built on top of the existing BRL-CAD Libraries: libbu, libbn, libdm, libged, librt, etc. The GE contains all geometric processing functions to include Format Converters, Tessilation, and image processors.
-* '''Geometry Service''':  The Geometry Service(GS) is an application that expands on the functionality of the Geometry Engine (GE) by adding Multi-user Communications and Session Management, Access Controls, Multithread capabilities and SVN utilities.
-* '''"New" GUI Project''': Currently nicknamed "G3D", it is a standalone client that provides visualization of geometry and captures user input. G3D is designed to be connected to a Geometry Service over the network via the Geometry Service Network (GSNet) Protocol.

-===Implementation Particulars===
-* The Geometry Service will be written in C/C++ to allow runtime-extensibility and reuse of code in future projects.
-* The Geometry Service leverages the proven and stable functionalities in BRL-CAD's libraries and binaries.
-* The Geometry Service provides an easy to use and extensible network protocol (GSNet Protocol) for interacting with a running Geometry Server.
-* The Geometry Engine provides a clean and easy to use API for BRL-CAD's libraries and binaries.
-* Each of the three major pieces will be stand-alone products
