  Re: Vårträff?
 
(...) Jag är väldigt intresserad måste jag nog erkänna! Träffen i Hovslätt var den första jag var på och den gav mig blodad tand! Dessutom har jag nog en ganska stor MOC åt det .space-iga hållet klar lagom till dess.. hoppas jag.. Jag tror jag kan (...) (21 years ago, 6-Jan-05, to lugnet.loc.se)
 
  Re: Mathematical assistance please
 
(...) Could you transform the co-ordinate system so that one of it's axes is along the centre-line of the 4-4cyls (in the plane S0-S1-S2), rotate it about that axis so that the longest sise is in the plane, then transform the co-ord system back? (...) (21 years ago, 6-Jan-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Updated, enhanced LDraw shortcut images in FTX (Re: LDraw shortcut images in FTX)
 
Can you see them now? Good. Thanks to Dan Boger for setting up a feed between the Peeron and LUGNET servers, allowing the live LDraw parts images to be shared by both sites. So now the LDrawPart tag can not display all the current LDraw parts, it (...) (21 years ago, 6-Jan-05, to lugnet.announce, lugnet.admin.general, FTX) !

(...) Hi Roscoe, Thanks for the help. If you extend the cylinders so that the outside edges touch, you will be able to see the overlap.... at small angles, this works because the overlap is small, but at larger angles, the overlap is noticable. I (...) (21 years ago, 6-Jan-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Hi Philo, Good to hear from you. My mistake.... I am using 4-4cyls.dat. rotating them to align them with the S0-S1-S2 plane is what I don't know how to do. Thanks, Kevin (21 years ago, 6-Jan-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Mathematical assistance please
 
(...) Why not just work out the longest side of the cylinder you need, and extend the hose segments by that much on each end? That would reduce the file size even more. BTW, if you do decide to go with your solution, and come up with a result, you (...) (21 years ago, 6-Jan-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)
