(...) If I ever had to model string I probably would use a scaled cylinder... I would like to see your part become official! It's very useful. (24 years ago, 8-Aug-00, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.mlcad)

| | Re: tubing

(...) I don't think that users would normally want to scale parts. The part you were presented with just now is probably the exception: No other parts in the LDraw library should be scaled to other sizes than the ones they come in. But then again, (...)

| | Re: tubing

(...) Cool. That worked. I had to edit the MPD by hand, though, I could not just edit the matrix values in MLCad directly. I think I found an MLCad quirk though. With non unit scaling/rotation factors I found that I could not move the part in the (...) (24 years ago, 8-Aug-00, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.mlcad)

(...) Or even the nasty "last line Empty" syndrome, that Ldraw can't live without. Just add an empty line to the end of the file and then save, to solve this problem. See ya Rui Martins (24 years ago, 8-Aug-00, to lugnet.cad)

| | Re: Problem, folks
|
|
(...) What do you mean by "LDraw won't load the file"? Does LDraw crash? Does it only render the model partially? In the latter case, the problem may be the use of MPD or other extensions which are not supported by LDraw. Or the problem may be line (...) (24 years ago, 8-Aug-00, to lugnet.cad)

(...) If it gives a runtime error xxx then the problem is mist likely that there are lines in there that arent strictly valid in dat files (like the news headers and etc) but which ldlite (and mlcad I guess) ignore but which ldraw picks up on. (24 years ago, 8-Aug-00, to lugnet.cad)

When I try copying and pasting Web-DAT files from these pages to a text file, LDraw won't load the file. I have the correct extensions and everything. MLCad loads the file fine, but LDraw won't? Any solutions? Thanks! Mike (24 years ago, 8-Aug-00, to lugnet.cad)

(...) minifig (...) You could paste the images of faces onto minifig heads as bitmaps, and then render the image. Or, have little minifigs with users' faces running around Datville (kinda like The Sims). : ) Just another idea. Mike (24 years ago, 8-Aug-00, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.general)

I've finished a couple of models. Looking back I realize that I used names for sub models that may not mean much to anyone else. Is there a protocal for filenames, sub models, etc.? Or should I just post the models and not worry about? Thanks -- (...) (24 years ago, 8-Aug-00, to lugnet.cad.dat.models.sets)

(...) No, LeoCAD doesn't need any external programs to save POV files but if you have LGEO installed, it can use it to create higher quality renderings (L2P.exe is never used, everything is done internally). I'd recommend you to have LGEO, as each (...) (24 years ago, 7-Aug-00, to lugnet.cad)

(...) You can choose wether you want to use L2P and the LGEO library (download from eg. www.ldraw.org) _or_ L3P (LGEO and L3P can be combined, but I wouldn't suggest this to a newbie.). L2P and L3P are not related, but the names are a bit confusing, (...) (24 years ago, 7-Aug-00, to lugnet.cad)

(...) If the ends are covered, you don't need to worry too much about the end points. So you can take on of the end points and scale it to your needs, as you say. You can start with this line: 1 16 -40 1 0 0 -20 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 76.DAT and change the (...) (24 years ago, 7-Aug-00, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Cool. Where can I read about scaling? It sounds like I just need to take one of the ends and scale it to the length I need (in this case a span of 26 studs worth of bricks from one end of the brick to the other). ++Lar (24 years ago, 7-Aug-00, to lugnet.cad)
