You may want to read previous mails in BRLCAD, there is a lot of discussion regarding BRL-CAD's affinity for NURBS. OGV as yet doesn't have any kind of editing feature. > 2.

What according to you will be advantages of using Nodejs over PHP specifically for OGV? IMHO nodejs is great, I really love it. My only fear is when we have BRL-CAD on back-end, and our web app is just an online wrapper, the stuff we will be doing may become a bit CPU hungry. From little that I know about Node, that is a bad use case for node.js. Having said that, I am no expert on this, but I just want that if we take such decision we have a strong reason to do so. -- Inderpreet Singh Ekoankar Sahai ishwerdas.com facebook.com/okayinder https://kippt.com/okayinder ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CenturyLink Cloud: The Leader in Enterprise Cloud Services.
