Missing IMathOps :- method for java.lang.Double when using csg/mesh->csg

[sableseyler]

When trying to convert a mesh (tested with either basic-mesh or gmesh) to a CSG node (using csg/mesh->csg) to compute the union of several nodes, I receive the following error. No implementation of method: :- of protocol: #'thi.ng.math.core/IMathOps found for class: java.lang.Double. Further investigation shows that it's happening in the ortho-normal function, which is being used when computing the plane for each polygon. At first glance, this seems to be a reoccurrence of #40, which featured the same error with :+ instead. I've reproduced the stack trace below.

Further investigation reveals that the BasicMesh may be generating wrong. I get the following results when I inspect the generation of the mesh in CIDER:

Class: thi.ng.geom.types.BasicMesh
Contents: 
  :vertices = #{ 0.0 -1.5668 -8.6965 2.7351 -12.0802 ... }
  :faces = #{ [[-8.6965 3.1084 6.294]] [[6.2429 -12.0802 0.0]] [[-19.2099 -1.0464 2.7351]] [[6.2429 -12.0802 2.7351]] [[2.0882 -1.5668 6.294]] }
  :fnormals = {}

The mesh is being generated by having the following sequence of faces passed in, using the form (g/into (bm/basic-mesh) faces), where faces is defined as follows:

( ( [ 2.0882 -1.5668 6.294 ] [ -8.6965 3.1084 6.294 ] [ -19.2099 -1.0464 2.7351 ] [ 6.2429 -12.0802 2.7351 ] )
  [ [ 2.0882 -1.5668 6.294 ] [ 2.0882 -1.5668 0.0 ] [ -8.6965 3.1084 0.0 ] [ -8.6965 3.1084 6.294 ] ]
  [ [ -8.6965 3.1084 6.294 ] [ -8.6965 3.1084 0.0 ] [ -19.2099 -1.0464 0.0 ] [ -19.2099 -1.0464 2.7351 ] ]
  [ [ -19.2099 -1.0464 2.7351 ] [ -19.2099 -1.0464 0.0 ] [ 6.2429 -12.0802 0.0 ] [ 6.2429 -12.0802 2.7351 ] ]
  [ [ 6.2429 -12.0802 2.7351 ] [ 6.2429 -12.0802 0.0 ] [ 2.0882 -1.5668 0.0 ] [ 2.0882 -1.5668 6.294 ] ]
  ( [ 6.2429 -12.0802 0.0 ] [ -19.2099 -1.0464 0.0 ] [ -8.6965 3.1084 0.0 ] [ 2.0882 -1.5668 0.0 ] ) )

Okay, finally tested and found where the problem is. On line 18 of basicmesh.cljc, where you define the parameters for add-face*, you're excessively deconstructing the passed face.

geom/src/thi/ng/geom/basicmesh.cljc

Lines 17 to 22 in 85783a1

	(defn- add-face*
	[mesh [fverts]]
	(BasicMesh.
	(into (get mesh :vertices) fverts)
	(conj (get mesh :faces) (thi.ng.geom.meshface.MeshFace. fverts nil))
	(get mesh :fnormals)))

After removing the extra sequence deconstruction around fverts, the problem disappeared.

And of course after fixing that I get a stack overflow.

Hi @seylerius - I'm in the middle of a relocation and will take a while until I can look into this. In the meanwhile, please post a minimal example to reproduce your issue, thanks! 👍
