Topic: Triangulation (re-visited)

Rick,

What do you mean by out of session ?

If you mean working from a set of 3dfaces, it would simply
be a matter of calling get_tin at the beginning of demoz.

This builds the necessary list: pl, tl and 3dfl at the cost of having
to select the 3dfaces forming your triangulation.

For the bug, I could not replicate the behaviour you are describing.

YMG,

Yes, that is what I noticed. You have to do the TIN and DEMOZ while the drawing is still active... in session. It is the same for FLIP. I had considered setting every variable, but I wondered if the TIN order (which might end up different) could become an issue. I also didn't know that get_tin would simply get a TIN by a recalled drawing. I assumed that might have to be in session as well. Likewise, I didn't want to go too deep with making changes. I might really mess things up.

YMG,

As a second thought... is there a way, and do you think it would be profitable, to embed pl, tl and 3dfl as invisible DOC objects (being saved with the drawing file)? That way they could always be recalled without having to reselect or rebuild the TIN.

Rick,

I don't think keeping the data is worth it.

The 3dfaces contains all that is necessary.  Does not not take long
to rebuild the necessary list.

YMG,

I have been testing the latest version of GSTAR. It does not support the PRAGMA function. I presume it is too old of a code. Since GSTAR is supposed to be modeled after the latest version of Autocad, I am wondering if anyone has tested Triangulation on any of the newer versions? My own Autocad is 2006.

Rick,

Not sure I follow you there, but the pragma function is simply directive
to the vlide so that the functions and constants defined in there are protected and
show in blue in the vlide.

If you keep the function and constant definition part, you can remove
the pragma-assign and pragma-unassign and the program will work
as usual.

YMG,

Removing PRAGMA allowed it to load. Then I tried to build a TIN. It reported... Error: no function definition: ACET-UI-PROGRESS.

acet-* functions are AutoCAD Express Tools functions.

Lee,

Thanks for the reply. GstarCAD has what they call Express Tools, but apparently by this, it does not have the same command set as Autocad's. I have to give them credit, however, since of all the different CAD programs that I have tested it has the least of such discrepancies. Their LISP is certainly good, and the program is very peppy, yet their OLE for external access has some problems. Unfortunately, there isn't any development documentation, and I cannot gain direct contact with their engineers to resolve any issues. Only salesmen, and they have very short attention spans... and don't have a clue to what I am talking about. Outside of that it is 'hot' software, and inexpensive.

can use for autocad c3d 2015?

[rw2691]

Mosquito,

I am only a user like yourself, but if you refer to Triangulation... it is experimental and presently at no cost. So give it a try and let everyone know how it works for you. Tester's appear to be welcome.

Hi ymg. Any new update ? 

[ymg]

topographer,

No new update  at the moment, I need to complete another project.

So I hve little time for this one.

Hi, ymg
How about boundaries and holes?

[ymg]

Holes and boundaries are implemented.

Read the thread.
