Build volume in stl preview should correspond to machines.xml entries #6

Closed ErikDeBruijn closed 13 years ago

ErikDeBruijn commented 13 years ago

A request by Lenbok: "The stl preview pane seems to be fixed at 10cm x 10cm x 10cm. This may not correspond to the build volume of the machine the user has selected, e.g. reprap mendel using makerbot firmware, or self-built or prototype makerbots with non-standard dimensions. It would make sense to obtain these dimensions from entries in the machines.xml (I am guessing that a new axis attribute would be needed, as the definition of the existing length attribute sounds like it may not correspond to the actual buildable length on that axis)." I've worked on this today and fixed it!!

commit a49de32b98b410aa885d1fb3af38e9ac2ac202bb Author: Erik de Bruijn reprap@erikdebruijn.nl Date: Thu Oct 21 23:52:37 2010 +0200

STL preview now is the actual build volumes configured in machines.xml.
In response to issue #94 by Lenbok. Before it was fixed to 100x100x100mm.
Now it reads the values from the machines.xml files and updates when a
different machine is selected. The BuildVolumes object currently contains
a very simple model of the machine's volume (a 3D block), but there's room
for adding cutouts and keep-out zones (e.g. nozzle cleaning brushes)
that can also be displayed.

I've made two releases here (0021 beta, not actually 0021, though!): http://replicatorg.erikdebruijn.nl/
