Suggestion - Add Tissue as featured software on the wiki and adding concept design content

D by dimitar on 31 Mar 2023, edited 7 Apr 2023 # +3 votes

Hi everyone, so I am slowly getting into more of the osarch channels - it took me a while to make the chat account work, and even longer to make the login for the wiki working. Now that it does, I would like to start adding some information. As a first, what are everyone's thoughts on having Tissue on the side of featured software?

As a first, Tissue needs its own page - if someone can direct or help with creating one (are there guidelines, etc?), I can start populating it with the important information.

Longer term, my general idea is to add more info throughout osarch on the content I am most familiar with, which is in earlier design stages. So topics like design explorations, explicit modeling, massing studies. It would be actually be great to partner with someone and do a massing study that can be then be analysed a bit more such as solar, heat, etc.

Ok figured it out by randomly seeing a reference somewhere to search for something and if it doesn't exist, the wiki allows you to create a page for that topic. So i've started a wiki page on Tissue here: https://wiki.osarch.org/index.php?title=Tissue and updated the software list wiki page to link to that page

Well done!

Please follow this wiki page as example: https://wiki.osarch.org/index.php?title=BlenderBIM_Add-on

There are a lot of tutorials about MediaWiki to learn how to create and edit our wiki.

Also, you can create tutorials, about the use of some tools or workflows:

Great work! I think it's a good idea to have Tissue as a featured software. It's really critical in a lot of concept design.

@dimitar @bitacovir

I've added some relevant categories and templates like this:

[[Category:SoftwareMissingInfoBox]]

[[Category:Blender]] [[Category:Blender Add-on]]

[[Category:Visualization_and_Documentation]]

At the top of the software category page is some guidance on making entries for software.

Updated Tissue with by using the BlenderBIM addon. I can't quite understand how to upload images. It tells me that i don't have permission to upload

@dimitar i changed your permissions!

I'll look into lifting these upload restrictions... is too strict, in my opinion.

Thanks. I don't know if there is a way to change permissions like, after having an account for a week and having, say 5 edits. Otherwise a bot can come and change so much and upload spam that it would take humans a long time to clean up.
