(...) First step is to make a list of parts to redo. Then we need to know if the lines are about one LDU thick. Then I can volunteer on some parts - and hopefully some more? /Tore (25 years ago, 16-Mar-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) The patterns that didn't show up are (incorrectly) made up of lines instead of polygons. L3P can't distinguish between edge lines and pattern lines, so it leaves them out altogether. Someone really should fix all the patterns which use lines. (...) (25 years ago, 16-Mar-00, to lugnet.cad.dat.models, lugnet.cad.dev)
