  Re: Announcing Bricksmith for Macintosh
 
(...) Thank you for the compliments, Andrew. I've admired Mac Brick CAD for a long time, and I'm impressed by all the work you've put into behind-the-scenes operation. I do Cocoa programming at work, but I have no professional experience with (...) (20 years ago, 28-Aug-05, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac, FTX)

(...) At last - something new under the sun. Extremely cool! (20 years ago, 28-Aug-05, to lugnet.space)
 
  Re: "Y Column all zeroes"
 
(...) I just tested the above code in my copy of LDDP and it fixes the error. This feature has been implemented since 1.5.3, what version are you using? -Orion (20 years ago, 28-Aug-05, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
 
  Re: "Y Column all zeroes"
 
(...) Every other error ive seen, it can fix. I always use LDDP for part authoring anyway. (20 years ago, 28-Aug-05, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

  The NMRA Trestle Bridge
 
Hello Everyone! I've never posted a MOC on LUGNET before, but I'm not new to building. First, let me introduce myself: My name is Jeramy Spurgeon, current IndyLUG president and avid LEGO train fan! The trestle bridge and surrounding 6 x 6 baseplate (...) (20 years ago, 28-Aug-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX) ! 
 
  Re: LDraw Animation - Why MPD?
 
(...) Not really a big deal, i could change my mind if that's too difficult for me to program. (...) It's much worse than a new syntax. A whole new, entirely different programming paradigm to learn. A whole new program semantic. Almost any (...) (20 years ago, 28-Aug-05, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.animation)
 
  Re: "odd" rings
 
(...) Yes, use 2 rings. Rings and cones are one of the few exceptions we make regarding overlapping quads/triangles. Check out this Excel spreadsheet that will show you the scaling you need to use for the rings: (URL) (20 years ago, 28-Aug-05, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives, lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
 
  Re: "Y Column all zeroes"
 
(...) Hi Dean, LDraw Design Pad will detect and fix these errors for you. You can get the latest version here: (URL) (20 years ago, 28-Aug-05, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
 
  LDD 1.3 - get it while you can
 
If you uninstalled LDD 1.3 and want to get it back: (URL) I can't seem to get it to work with 1.4 installed. Worked fine after I uninstalled both and started from scratch. Ahh... missed that "all bricks, any color" palette. Marc Nelson Jr. (URL) (...) (20 years ago, 28-Aug-05, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.general, FTX)
 
  "Y Column all zeroes"  [DAT]
 
I am currently tidying up a few parts and I have come across a number of lines with the error: "Y column all zeroes": 1 16 39 9.72 29 -1.732 0 1 -0.225 0 0.707 1 0 1.732 2-4edge.dat 1 16 39 9.72 29 -1.732 0 1 -0.225 0 0.707 1 0 1.732 2-4disc.dat ^ ^ (...)

  "odd" rings
 
Erm... I need to do a ring with an inner radius of 10 and an outer of 14. My reckoning means I need a factor of 4 and a ring with an inner diameter of 2.5. Which doesn't exist. Can anyone think of a way of doing this with a single ring or do I have (...) (20 years ago, 27-Aug-05, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives, lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
 
  Re: LF Yard Tower
 
(...) Also notice that you get almost 2000 pieces but you only use about 1/8th of them. I think LEGO would do good to make more bags of less pieces. -Orion (20 years ago, 27-Aug-05, to lugnet.general)
 
  Re: Micro Moonbase Starter for LDD
 
(...) Thanks, Joe. I don't know about you, but I'm really hoping that they will add some baseplates (or at least some larger plates) to the next round of parts for LEGO Factory. -Joel (20 years ago, 27-Aug-05, to lugnet.space, lugnet.cad, FTX)
 
  Re: How do I get these new applications working?
 
(...) Mac OS X is case-insensitive. It is possible to get a case-sensitive file system, but the user would have to know what they are doing and many things would break. I remember some old LDraw apps being written case senstive so that if it was one (...) (20 years ago, 27-Aug-05, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)
 
  Re: LDGLite (on OS X) and Bricksmith
 
(...) ImageMagick is available for OS X, but it isn't installed by default. And I think it requires X11, which also isn't installed by default. ftp://ftp.imagemagic...k/binaries (20 years ago, 27-Aug-05, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac, FTX)
 
  Re: How do I get these new applications working?
 
(...) Yes, exactly. The LDraw file is case-insensitive so the onus is on the programmer to provide for this on case sensitive OS's -Orion (20 years ago, 27-Aug-05, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)
 
  Re: What is this thing?
 
(...) It is a frisbee, I had a Yamaha one when I was a kid. The idea is it collapses if it hits you so it does not hurt like a plastic disk. Jude (20 years ago, 27-Aug-05, to lugnet.space)
 
  Re: How do I get these new applications working?
 
(...) I don't have a Mac, but if your file system is case sensitive (like most Unix file systems are), then that might be the cause of the problem. LDraw files assume a case-insensitive file system, or an application that's smart enough to deal with (...) (20 years ago, 27-Aug-05, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)
 
  Re: LDGLite (on OS X) and Bricksmith
 
(...) If you ever get ambitious, LDView has automatic tiling support built in to generate images of arbitrary size. You can take a look at my tiling code (although it's pretty spread out, which might make it difficult to track down all of it). (...) (20 years ago, 27-Aug-05, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac, FTX)
