Community Bonding Period

  • familiar with arb8 convert to brep code
  • Read BRL-CAD NURBS Boolean Evaluation Development Guide.
  • Look into arb8_brep and brep_simple.
  • Test converting arb8 to brep.

Work Period

Wednesday, June 15, 2022

  • Test converting arb8 into brep format with non-planar faces. -- get the differences of the output of them, but the result of brep_simple.cpp seems confusing.
  • Compare codes of brep_simple.cpp and arb8_brep.cpp. -- mastered brep_simple
  • Replace the input data in brep_simple with arb8. -- a beginning

Thursday, June 16, 2022

  • Run and analyze the result of examples about brep, record errors found.

Tuesday, July 12, 2022

  • Debug: tracking and call stack from test_UNION into ON_Boolean
  • Find multiple outputs with the same operation among three BRL-CAD versions:
   - current main branch             -- missing faces
   - BRL-CAD 7.32.6 release package  -- correct
   - project build with BRL-CAD 7.32.6 source code  -- crashed

Wednesday, July 13, 2022

  • Compare differences between different branch and commits
   - project build with BRL-CAD 7.32.6 source code in RELEASE mode  - correct for arb_4.r test case, error for arb_3.r
   - project build with BRL-CAD 7.32.6 source code in DEBUG mode  - crash
   - current main branch             -- error for arb_3.r/arb_4.r
   - initial commit of RELEASE branch              -- correct for arb_4.r test case, error for arb_3.r

Thursday, July 14, 2022
