Yes, primitives are important. In my program, you can add them just like any
other part. I already implemented moving and I wanted to add scaling and
rotating, but I did not understand the rotation matrix command. Could anyone
explain that to me? Then I could also add the points from the primitives to the
point list and everything would be ok!
Of course a good 3D modeller and a converter would be fine, but are there any
good and free 3D modellers? It's already possible to convert files from
SolidDesigner to LDRAW, isn't it?
I also wrote a program to convert ME10 files (two-dimensional drawings) to
LDRAW. I use this function very often when I create parts.
So I still think a GUI part editor is neccessary, a combination of MLCAD and
LDDP for example.
