Hello:
I love this plugin, but I am
having a few
problems with it.
The meshs generated seem to be
somewhat
degenerate. I tried a simple tetrahedron (3 sided circle with 1
parallel). The mesh I got was:
#declare Dome2 = mesh
{
triangle {
<0.000000, 0.000000, 1.000000>, <0.000000, 0.000000,
1.000000>,
<-0.500000, 0.866025, -0.000000> }
triangle {
<-0.500000,
0.866025, -0.000000>, <1.000000, 0.000000, -0.000000>,
<0.000000,
0.000000, 1.000000> }
triangle { <0.000000, 0.000000,
1.000000>, <0.000000, 0.000000, 1.000000>, <-0.500000,
-0.866025,
-0.000000> }
triangle { <-0.500000, -0.866025,
-0.000000>, <-0.500000, 0.866025, -0.000000>, <0.000000,
0.000000,
1.000000> }
triangle { <0.000000, 0.000000,
1.000000>,
<0.000000, 0.000000, 1.000000>, <1.000000, 0.000000,
-0.000000>
}
triangle { <1.000000, 0.000000, -0.000000>,
<-0.500000,
-0.866025, -0.000000>, <0.000000, 0.000000, 1.000000> }
//
Attributes returned success!
Note that several of the triangles
have the same
exact first and second coordinates (marked in bold if you are viewing
HTML).
The problem I am having with this, is
that I am
attempting to make a 'hollow' dome. I was going to simply
subtract one
dome from another (CSG) but the results are weird. If I delete
the 0
width triangles, then it seems to work a little better, but I am left
with
only 3.
Is there any chance this can be
fixed?
Also, as I'm trying to make a 'city
dome' out of
this, the parallels get spaced much too closly at the top of the
dome.
Would there be any way to use the distance 'up' the parallels to space
them
out?

P.S. I could help with the
plugin if it's
