Thanks to the suggestion of John (to use an RCX as a counterweight), I realised this was absolutely the way to go on this Topple Tower model idea I had. I have no wiring routing issues (it would have been impossible otherwise). Here's what I've got (...) (21 years ago, 2-Mar-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) I agree but Stefan gave a compelling argument for 1 LDU = 4 mm so I changed the draft proposal. -Orion (21 years ago, 2-Mar-05, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) So back to the T, right? (...) Without saying too much, I think it might be a good idea for the moment to stick to Home Depot supplies. :-/ Iain (21 years ago, 2-Mar-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

That is great. It is clear that you have a love of building. I'm sure you help Mark and I am certain he knows your heart is in it. Congrats, I know you'll be a fine co-curator. Plus, as a sentimental gesture (from me in a manner of speaking). Your (...) (21 years ago, 2-Mar-05, to lugnet.space)

(...) No, Orion is correct -- for LDraw. By definition, LDraw parts have no gap. 1-stud-wide bricks are 20 LDU - exactly. We *really* don't want to get into a game of trying model real-world dimensions in great detail. That it, unless someone can (...) (21 years ago, 2-Mar-05, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) Yeah, the center of gravity of the whole assembly is ABOVE the beam, so the whole thing is by definition unstable. Weird. I didn't quite get it either. Are we missing something? My thinking is (and I built a quick model from LEGO) that we (...) (21 years ago, 2-Mar-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) I beg to differ. The width of a 1x1 brick is not the same as the spacing between two stud centres. Bricks have a small gap between them, whereas studs are very accurately placed on any brick with more than 1 stud. The LDU unit should be (...) (21 years ago, 2-Mar-05, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) Well, yes, and no. The bricks are not nearly as precise as the molds, but the dimensional tolerances for parts must certainly be a lot tighter than the difference between 1/64" and 0.4 mm. That difference is almost a full percent, so there is (...) (21 years ago, 2-Mar-05, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

My daughter's 8th birthday party was this weekend, so we put in some extra hours to get our collection of classic castle sets laid out nicely. It turned out to be a big hit with all six 7-9 yr old girls: (URL) More playing action: (URL) brickshelf> (...) (21 years ago, 1-Mar-05, to lugnet.castle)
