    Re: Alternate 6208 B-Wing Escort Fighter —Don Heyse
   (...) I like the ship, and especially that you've done it up in LDraw on the Mac. Cool. I'll have to leave any other comments to the starwars and building experts though. What I really like about that particular cad picture is the way it highlights (...) (17 years ago, 8-Feb-07, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.cad.dev, FTX)

     (...) Hi Don, That problem has bugged me for a while but I didn't realise there was such a simple solution to it. I imagine that something similar can be done where both edges are curves by setting up shells along the double curves. Now I'm off the (...) (17 years ago, 8-Feb-07, to lugnet.cad.dev, FTX)

     (...) If you fix that one, perhaps you can take up the challenge of (URL) the wedge brick>. I don't think we ever solved that one properly for ldraw. Enjoy, Don (17 years ago, 8-Feb-07, to lugnet.cad.dev, FTX)
    
         Re: Alternate 6208 B-Wing Escort Fighter —Timothy Gould
     (...) I'm wondering if something can't be done for general fits between two or three parabolas (perhaps I'm best to start with one parabolas and two lines). I'm trying to think of things but unfortunately geometry is my weakest branch of (...) (17 years ago, 8-Feb-07, to lugnet.cad.dev, FTX)
   
        Re: Alternate 6208 B-Wing Escort Fighter —Travis Cobbs
     (...) I have to wonder if I'm partially to blame. Perhaps the part author was using LDView (thumbnail is linked to bigger image, generated by LDView): (URL) Everything looks great there. --Travis (17 years ago, 8-Feb-07, to lugnet.cad.dev, FTX)
    
         Re: Alternate 6208 B-Wing Escort Fighter —Don Heyse
     (...) Yeah, your default settings tend to hide certain surface flaws. Your light source (where is it by the way?) and smooth shading are as effective as dim lighting and heavy makeup. Perhaps not the best thing for a parts designer to be using. But (...) (17 years ago, 8-Feb-07, to lugnet.cad.dev, FTX)

     (...) My light is a directional light pointing in exactly the same direction as the camera. In LDView 3.1, you can actually override this with an undocumented command line option. I hope to have light direction (single directional light) as a new (...) (17 years ago, 8-Feb-07, to lugnet.cad.dev, FTX)
    
         Re: Alternate 6208 B-Wing Escort Fighter —Don Heyse
     (...) Ah yes, the trusty helmet mounted flashlight look. Too much glare for me. I prefer the sort of lighting delivered by the mid-afternoon sun, beaming down from high over the left shoulder. But that's a personal preference, I suppose. (...) Nice (...) (17 years ago, 8-Feb-07, to lugnet.cad.dev, FTX)
   
        Re: Alternate 6208 B-Wing Escort Fighter —Jim DeVona
   (...) Thanks! I enjoy recording models in LDraw after I've made them because the process of methodically disassembling and reassembling them for input is very different from the casual way I initially build them. It's just sort of fun to look at a (...) (17 years ago, 9-Feb-07, to lugnet.cad.dev, FTX)
