1. Wrong BFC rendering for primitives (in the primitve area)
   
2. TJunctionFinder eliminates lines at random (normal mode)
   
3. The "(!)" sign is set for (part) files which are created by the PartReview tool. This is not desired. (the "(!)" sign indicates that the file is located outside the project or the library structure of the project)
   

1. Download the zip-Archive
   
2. Extract the archive content to the location of your choice
   
3. On windows, double-click "run.bat" to start LDPE.
   
4. On linux/mac, you have to excecute the shell script "run.sh" to start LDPE.
   

1. On windows, double-click "update.bat" to search for updates.
   
2. On linux/mac, you have to excecute the shell script "update.sh".

1. Describe precisely what you observe. Take a screenshot or record a movie if needed.
   
2. Say clearly what you want. Make a sketch or a mockup.
   
3. Be precise as possible. Everybody should be able to understand what you want to say.
   
4. If you say some application behaviour is wrong, my interest is to know what is right instead.
   
5. Do not make use of ambiguousness and colloquialism.
   

• Selecting a tab in the text editor will select the tab in the 3D editor (and display the part in the 3D editor)
  
• Selecting a tab in the 3D editor will select the tab in the text editor (and display the part in the text and the 3D editor)

Here is screenshot ...
as you can see 30082out.dat is loaded but neiter Text nor 3D show any content. Try this file:

* As a user I'd like to have a wrapper window, which would full-screen either the Text or the 3D pane with a click in the right top-hand corner or split the two panes with a divider I can move with the mouse:



this would IMHO make the handling of the two editors much easier and the continuous taskbar-clicking superfluous.

I tried to use CSG to rebuild to cut sphere. Here is what I came up with, based on your tutorial on the wiki:

Code:

0 BFC CERTIFY CCW

0 // Set the quality and epsilon value (optional)
0 // SYNTAX 0 !LPE CSG_QUALITY [3 to 48]
0 !LPE CSG_QUALITY 16
0 // SYNTAX 0 !LPE CSG_EPSILON [>=.0001]
0 !LPE CSG_EPSILON .0001

0 // Define the shapes
0 // SYNTAX 0 !LPE [CSG SHAPE] [ID (can be any string without spaces)] [COLOUR] [MATRIX]
0 !LPE CSG_ELLIPSOID a 1  0 0 10 7 0 0 0 0 7 0 -7 0
0 !LPE CSG_CUBOID    b 4  0 0 0 10 0 0 0 10 0 0 0 10

0 !LPE CSG_CYLINDER z 14 0 -7 13.5 2.5 0 0 0 14 0 0 0 2.5
0 !LPE CSG_CUBOID y 4  0 -4.5 16.5 2.5 0 0 0 2.5 0 0 0 3
0 !LPE CSG_CUBOID x 4  0 4.5 16.5 2.5 0 0 0 2.5 0 0 0 3

0 // Modify the shapes
0 // SYNTAX 0 !LPE [CSG FUNCTION] [origin ID] [origin ID2] [target ID3]
0 !LPE CSG_DIFFERENCE a b f
0 !LPE CSG_UNION x y w
0 !LPE CSG_UNION w z v
0 !LPE CSG_DIFFERENCE f v u

0 // Compile the output
0 // SYNTAX 0 !LPE CSG_COMPILE [ID]
0 // The COMPILE command displays the CSG volume on the screen
0 // Inlining the following line will generate triangles of the CSG volume
0 !LPE CSG_COMPILE u

I also inlined the compiled U but was not very happy with the output, so I guess there is room for improvement of my code. Any help and suggestion is welcomed.

Interpenetrating cyli/sphe primitives will give a much better visual result and simpler code. There is an existing cyli to sphe primitive too (not on my computer, can't find it)
