    Is it efficient to replace plates w/bricks in a plates studs up mosaic? —Bob Kojima
   Is it efficient to replace plates w/bricks in a plates studs up mosaic? I always thought it was and have been trying to think of a way to implement it in Bricksaic for about a year. I was trying to come up with a smart and efficient way of doing it. (...) (19 years ago, 2-Feb-05, to lugnet.build.mosaic, FTX)

     (...) Bob, I just downloaded a copy of program this week and have played around with it over a few lunch hours. Good question. Can you implement all three choices, say as a toggle like you choose with the other features? I have yet to do a mosiac, (...) (19 years ago, 3-Feb-05, to lugnet.build.mosaic, FTX)

     (...) hi Maarten, you bring up a good point. it never occurred to me that weight would also be an issue. this now becomes a weight vs. part count efficiency problem. i'm going to have to go find the weight of the parts i'm using and do some (...)

   Bob, One more suggestion: Because there is no "brickwall"-structure in your MLCad results, it might not be such a bad idea to alternately read lines from left to right and from right to left. In my program I also have something like this: For I = 0 (...) (19 years ago, 8-Feb-05, to lugnet.build.mosaic)

   (...) Thanks for this suggestion. that way i wont get colums of bricks all the same size and the layers will be more interlocked. great idea! bob (19 years ago, 10-Feb-05, to lugnet.build.mosaic)
