I am developing a building in MLCAD (which I have built). I intend to including
an interior and may use cut (Gasp!!) baseplates for floors. Since the parts
library did not include non-standard baseplates (like 22x12) I wrote a small
program that will generate a rectangular baseplate of any dimensions.
I may have posted about this before but never got around to doning anything
more.
I would be happy to make the program GPL or public domain or give it to
ldraw.org. How would this happen?. The souece code is "C" (I also ahve a perl
version). To use it you have to compile it (I am not familiar with packaging
executables)
Is there any interest in this
One interesting issue is that the program is based on the 16x32 baseplate
authored by James Jessiman) would the program be a deriviative work or the
output?. (I developed the program by taking lines from the DAT file and using
them as templates for the program.)
By the way this is not a hugh program, its only 218 lines including comments

| (...) I think that it's a good idea. There is a built-in part genereator in SimLego too, but the parts it generates are far from today's LCad standards, and the SimLego source code is forever lost. A third way to go would be to write an LDraw Script (...) (20 years ago, 27-May-04, to lugnet.cad.dev)

| Lester, I would like to include that into MLCad. Adding as a meta command for MLCad I could support this. All I would need is some sort of library I can use. Best way would be a dll, which generates that - or if you do not mind already the source (...) (20 years ago, 6-Jun-04, to lugnet.cad.dev)
