I've been experimenting with importing terrain heightfields into LDraw. Here are the results: (URL) (One pair of triangles in the terrain mesh is equal to a normal LDraw baseplate in dimensions.) The steps I took: created the heightfield in Wilbur (...) (14 years ago, 28-Mar-11, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

If you were to create a computer simulation of a globe completely made of Legp with cities on it and everything, how would you overcome the limitation imposed by the fact that you can't tile squares across the surface of the globe? Are there (...) (14 years ago, 28-Mar-11, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Hey, I really like the idea of new line types and I made a little experiment. Not for curves, discs, spheres, cylinders, rings, cones and torii, but for gradient brushes. LDraw lives in a (linear) text based vector world. And when I zoom in, I (...) (14 years ago, 29-Mar-11, to lugnet.cad) !

(...) Just a thought, but you could also utilize new sub directories e.g. 1 16 ......... ring\5-24-24.dat or even 1 16 ......... ring\24\5-24.dat This should work on existing software cause 48\ or s\ are already in use, so most software should be (...) (14 years ago, 28-Mar-11, to lugnet.cad)

(...) As long as you provide parts authors with a cheat sheet, this should work too. Regardless, the naming scheme should be according to a regular system. -Mike (14 years ago, 28-Mar-11, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Something to keep in mind: I think you should pad leading zeros. I.e. turn "4" into "04". Doing so makes it possible to sort files by name in a file manager. -Mike (14 years ago, 28-Mar-11, to lugnet.cad)
