Octocad
=======
An engineering-focused CAD software solution.

Synopsis
------------
Octocad is an octree-based 3D CAD system. Objects are represented solely using cubes, with no boundary representation. This representation
enables a known output precision and makes CSG operations very straightforward.

Status
------
Unfortunately, this project is on permament hold as an octree with sufficient cubes to accurately render a sphere performs very poorly. (I also have found suitable CAD programs to fit my needs) However for the technically curious, this project is a good demonstration of cross-language communication

Design
------
Octocad is split up into two parts:
* *Octocad 2D*: The C# 2D drawing and main control frontend.
* *Octocad*: The C++ object representation and 3D drawing backend.

These parts communicate over two named pipe connections, which are created upon process startup. Starting Octocad-2D will initialize
Octocad, and closing Octocad-2D will close Octocad.

Included Libraries
------------------
* For OpenGL platform support: GLFW 3.0 - zlib\png - Marcus Geelnard|Camilla Berglund [website](http://www.glfw.org/)
