  Re: Windows 2000
 
I am successfully using a cross section of the LDraw related applications in Windows 2000. MLCad, LDraw Add On, L3Lab, L3P Add on, L3P and POV Ray. I have not tried to run LEdit or LDraw since MLCad and L3Lab can replace those pretty well in the (...) (24 years ago, 17-Jul-00, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.cad.mlcad)
 
  Non-realistic rendering with POV?
 
Hello, I'm interested in trying to get some 2d, cel-like shading in some of my renderings. At one point I had found a post that talked about changing some settings to flatten out the image into a more toon like appearance. Now however, I can't find (...)

  Re: question on naming - pirate guns vs. modern guns

  Re: Can't Find .DAT files of these Parts
 
(...) Sorry, Dan. That's my fault -- I didn't apply the 2000-01 parts update to the library section on ldraw.org. Steve (24 years ago, 17-Jul-00, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
 
  Re: How to Change Views???
 
(...) There's a parameter you have to type on the command line to do this. It gives LDraw the viewpoint figures. It's the -A parameter, and you type it like this: ldraw mymodel.dat -a1,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,1 This example gives you a front view. You can (...) (24 years ago, 17-Jul-00, to lugnet.cad.dat.models)

(...) You probably have a bad configuration on your Win95/98, possibly bad/slow/old drivers, try to updated them. The only advantage that you could have with NT is if you have more than one CPU.

I actually had MLCad installed on my Windows 2000, worked fine. However, I did have trouble with L3P... But that might have been my fault... ;-) Oh!
