Please make this distinction before building up a large database!

For the time being, Barney, the problem is that if we will have a
database at all. Lugnet.CAD.Dev was very enthusiastic when we presented
the idea. All wonders endure three days, this was the very example,
after the three days came silence. KACS and me are unable to make the
whole work ourselves. Without helpers, the idea will fail.

As for the friction, you are right, we have to include a property to
cover it. This means no problem, since the LCD proposal clearly states
that there may be properties not mentioned there but be discovered
later. Friction will be such a property.
By the way, how to measure friction?

News: working on the LMPL proposal is almost done. In some days, we can
present it to you.

  Re: Movement and friction
 
I was thinking of friction as a simple on/off property: connections with friction only move during construction, whereas connections without are free to move under gravity or inertia or other forces during animation of the final model. Is this too (...) (22 years ago, 11-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.lcd)

I haven't commented substantially on LCD, so maybe I should. I am contemplating an algorithm that will find all of the possible stud-insertion points on a part. The obvious way to do this is to recognize the tube or enclosing box with their (...) (22 years ago, 11-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.lcd)

Perhaps I should say that my interest in this is that I am involved in the project on the next-door website to develop an LDraw program for MacOS X, and I think connections should be built in from the start. I had a look at the LCD page on the LDraw (...) (22 years ago, 11-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.lcd)
