[Bf-docboard] Bf-docboard Digest, Vol 85, Issue 6

[Ivan Paulos Tomé]

Hi bf-docboard Team !

I'm receiving some feedback from users, and I talked a bit with Sebastien
Montagne (mont29) about the proposals that I have sent in the last e-mail.
The proposals have received a positive reception, but some
of them need to be refined to achieve a good shape.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section:* Introduction*, Subsection *Vitals*

The name change:
- *Undo and Redo* → *Undo, Redo and File Recovery.  *received (100%)
approval.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section: *Modeling*

*Chapter – Separating elements →  Need to be added.

*The conversations resulted in a new name for the chapter, and a
new position in the subsection ''Introduction'' of the Modeling Section.

The new chapter proposal will be named:

*Joining and Separating Objects*.

The chapter will explain what types of Objects that can be Joined,
the options to separate the elements, (selected, loose parts, by texture ),
 how to separate Objects, modifiers interference, etc.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Modeling *Section, Subsection: *Curves*

*Chapter - Curve Skinning – Need to be added.* received 100% approval.

* *We will separate this info from the Advanced Editing Chapter
Curve Skinning - will explain Tapper, and Bevel Objects.
Advanced Editing  - Should Refer to special curve Manipulation methods,
Calculations, how to close Curves, etc.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The other proposals are under discussion in our IRC channel #blenderwiki

*Good Vibrations !*

> *Hi bf-docboard Team !*
>
> My name is Ivan Paulos Tomé – A.k.a. Greylica.
> As some of you may know, I’m working with the
> documentation team for some time, and we are
> working and reviewing some pages as a team,
> we are developing pages and
> we are publishing those pages when they are OK.
>
> Recently, I’m making a Map of the Blender wiki, with
> some notes and references to help friends of the
> documentation team and translators.
>
> The infrastructure of the wiki is quite good, but I also
> took some of the time spent in doing my maps to read
> pages, make some verifications, fix some problems, etc.
> I will share some of those notes with you all,
> in those notes I wrote some proposals for
> modifications I think we need, based on
> the readings of the sections,
> subsections and chapters of the main manual, and
> using Blender.
>
> Those notes are related to the first 5 sections of the manual:
>
>
>    - Introduction
>    - Starting
>    - Data System and Files
>    - Interaction in 3D
>    - Modeling
>    - Modifiers and Deformation

> *Proposal for changes in the infrastructure of Chapters and Sections: (
> Contents ) (3)
> *

> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
> *Modeling *Section:

> Subsection: Introduction.-
>
> *Chapter: Conversion and Hierarchy →  Need to be added*
>
> * We need a new ‘’Conversion and Hierarchy’’ chapter under
> subsection Introduction, explainning what are the
> elements that could be converted into Curves and Meshes.
>
> For Instance:
>
> Text- They are like read-only curves →  could be converted to Curves or
> Meshes
> Meta and Surfaces →  Mesh
> Curves →  could be converted to Meshes and Vice Versa, depending
> on the Mesh (Open = OK, Closed = Won't work)
> What’s the standard calculation for the curves from Meshes for example ?
> Sketches → As another plus, they could be converted to Geometry.
> (Only a reference to the Sketch system  is needed)

> Subsection: Mesh Objects -

> *Chapter – Separating elements →  Need to be added.*
>
> Another important way of modeling that needs to be covered in the manual,
> and
> now that the boolean operations is incredibly improved with the Carve
> booleans,
> we deserve a chapter for this ;).

> *Modifiers and Deformation* Section

> Then I have a proposal to change:

>
> Yeah, the name is bigger than before, but this new name for the Section
> covers all of modifiers, even the ones that could be added in the future.
