   Looking for some form of Documenation, on MAKING not using Primitives. Prefer something that does not require a BS in math to understand. Anyone have anything they can point me to? Thanks, Dwayne Miller Barberton, Ohio USA (21 years ago, 23-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

   (...) OK - now you've made it clear that this request is linked to the hirstarts "project" I see the context of your question - which alters my response somewhat. You're free to develop non-Lego parts and primitives which can be rendered with the (...) (21 years ago, 23-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
