New Homework Assignment:
DUE: FRIDAY 10/16/98, 9:45am.

Check your design visually and/or by viewing it with a 3D solids viewer.

Learn to Use Two Programs in the Instructional Domain

• Become acquainted with the "analyzer" program in ~cs285/bin in the instructional domain. This program checks whether the collection of STL triangles forms a closed surface without any cracks, and it also gives many other facts about your object such as its volume or total surface area. Study the README_ANALYZER file in ~cs285/playground Run your STL file through the analysis program, check the output and see whether the numbers make sense.
• Study the README_CONVERTER file in ~cs285/playground and formulate the proper command line to start the viewer. View your STL file with the sgiviewer or hpviewer.

Hand in:

• A completed SIF_DSG or .STL description for your maze design.
• A printout or URL pointer to a good solid view {not wire frame} of your final design.
• A description of you you dealt with the specific problems raised by your design.

Put your name on your hand-ins.

PS -- If you have not fixed up your first designs yet so that they can be machined, NOW is the time to get it done.
