Use meshlab to fix model on Linux/Mac #7995
Conversation
|
It is expected that someone proficient in MeshLab and meshes manipulation will update the meshlab script within resources directory. I also have not tested this under Mac. From old times I remember apps are distributed in bundles and it might be tricky to add bundled app binary into the path, so I expect someone on Mac would test this change so we could update documentation/notes on how to make it working under OSX. |

I have installed Meshlab 2023.12, and it no longer has meshlabserver. This has been replaced by PyMeshlab. |
|
Well, it looks like PyMeshLab is the way. Originally I was going to use PyMeshLab, but switched to meshlabserver due to much easier implementation. Somhow I've missed that meshlabserver got removed in latest version. I'm going to convert this PR to draft just by now in case someone would like to try this on linux. I'll rework this to use PyMeshLab and update PR. |
FixModel reimplemented to use PyMeshLab instead of MeshLabServer
NOTE: this functionality is still in development phase, so
some additional configuration outside of OrcaSlicer is needed
Current change have been tasted on Linux using PyMeshLab==2024.12
Sample meshlab script created using MeshLab 2024.12.
Testing:
1. Prepare virtual environment with PyMeshLab installed.
This step may be skipped if pymeshlab installed globally
$ python -m venv meshlab
$ ./meshlab/bin/activate
(pymeshlab) $ pip install pymeshlab
2. (optionally) Activate virtual env
$ source path/to/meshlab-venv/bin/activate
3. Run OrcaSlicer from command line with venv activated:
(pymeshlab) $ ./path/to/OrcaSlicer.AppImage
Test sequence may need to be adjusted for the Mac platform

@sschwetz , would you mind testing updated changes with PyMeshLab support? Please refer to the change description regarding testing sequence. This is not final change as we need to came to solution how to simplify configuration to skip venv usage. |
|
I've added config option to set PyMeshLab location (which is recommended to be installed inside venv).

Currently trying this under macOS 15.2. I've grabbed the latest OrcaSlicer from the build artifacts, created a virtualenv (
Edit: The error was that I wasn't using Python 3.10, I was using the Python 3.9 macOS ships. If I create my venv using Python 3.10, I can |

@oskardotglobal , WOW I really happy it is working on OSX. Thank you for your testing. |
Description
Fixes #5013, #4923
This change introduces new back end for the "Fix model" feature: MeshLabServer.
On Linux and Mac platforms OrcaSlicer checks if "meshlabserver" could be found in path and allows broken objects to be fixed if it is.
Simple script for meshlab added to resources.
In order to make this feature work you need to have MeshLab installed and "meshlabserver" available in PATH.

Tests
Tested on Linux host only, with native build (no appimage).
