  Re: Legofest..... presentazioni
 
E se da casa ci portassimo dei badge fatti di Lego, con uno spazio per mettere un pezzetto di carta con su il nome? Ognuno diverso in maniera tale da evidenziare la fantasia dei costruttori Lego. Comunque io ci sarò da sabato mattina a domenica (...) (21 years ago, 28-Aug-05, to lugnet.org.it.itlug.market)
 
  Re: FischerTechnik
 
(...) I don't see them as competitors. Here they are amicably side by side: (URL) LEGO, FT, and now Vex. They each have their own strengths and weaknesses. I use them all :) CS (21 years ago, 28-Aug-05, to lugnet.robotics, FTX)
 
  Re: Announcing Bricksmith for Macintosh
 
(...) One thing, though. LDView can't be used to make instructions without using LPub, since it doesn't itself support the STEP command. And of course, LPub hasn't been ported to the Mac. --Travis (21 years ago, 28-Aug-05, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac, FTX)
 
  Re: Who's here?
 
(...) Sup guys. Been awhile but I figured I'd let you all know I'm still alive believe it or not. High School sure puts a cramp on lego time. I don't know when the next time I'll be able to start playing again will be, but don't rule me out if (...) (21 years ago, 28-Aug-05, to lugnet.gaming.starship)

  Re: Announcing Bricksmith for Macintosh
 
(...) Oh Joe, what a can of worms that is. You're absolutely right that POV-Ray is useless for instructions. It's very nice for the picture on the front of the box, but it doesn't outline edges. The good news is that there is a solution. The (...) (21 years ago, 28-Aug-05, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac, FTX)

  Re: LDraw Animation - Why MPD?

  "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 (...) (21 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 (21 years ago, 27-Aug-05, to lugnet.general)
 
  Re: Micro Moonbase Starter for LDD

  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.

  Re: LDGLite (on OS X) and Bricksmith

  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 (21 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 (21 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 (...) (21 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). (...) (21 years ago, 27-Aug-05, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac, FTX)

  Re: LDGLite (on OS X) and Bricksmith
