The project aims to create a geometry editor for BRL-CAD. The project should ideally be an improvement over the existing editors MGED and Archer.
- Install and configure Qt. Qt5.14.2 has been used for development of this project.
- Clone BRL-CAD (https://svn.code.sf.net/p/brlcad/code/brlcad/trunk brlcad-code) and build
- Clone RT^3 (https://sourceforge.net/p/brlcad/code/HEAD/tree/rt%5E3/) and build by following its README. If you have done correctly you should be able to run the target QtGUI in RT^3 (just for verification).
- Go to \rt3\src of RT^3 repository in terminal. (cd \rt3\src)
- Clone this project into \rt3\src. (git clone https://github.com/sadeepdarshana/arbalest)
- Add this project to rt3's CMakeList file. (append "ADD_SUBDIRECTORY(./arbalest)" to the end of \rt3\src\CMakeLists.txt)
- Build and run the target arbalest.
