I wonder if I have missed something important. When I read the
information in the press release that people can use a free modeling
program to represent their model and then submit it to buy the parts
needed, I thought this program would be useable only as a tool to
indicate what parts would be needed. Your post appears to indicate
that you think that this software may/will replace LDraw in all kinds
of aspects. Is there any information present in the press release
that indicates that TLC are providing the community with a new, free
LEGO CAD system?
Perhaps I'm pessimistic, but I would be surprised if the provided
software would be useful for much more than composing a model from a
selected subset of LEGO parts and the submitting this to buy the parts
needed. With some luck there will be a file format visible to the end
user which can be reverse engineered.
BTW, you consistently post articles with lines wrapped, especially
quoted lines. Do you think you can increase the line length in your
client to avoid this? Or perhaps you can refill the paragraphs before
quoting them to avoid line wrapping? Just a thought.
