  Re: Small Robot fits all space themes
 
That thing is really quite elegant. -- ---...--- If athletes get athlete's foot, do astronauts get mistletoe? ---...--- ~mek~ (News group readers, remove cc from atkincc to email me) Ryan J Farrington wrote in message (...) (24 years ago, 4-Nov-00, to lugnet.cad.dat.models)
 
  2 small requests
 
In previous versions, if I recall correctly, double-clicking on a part in the view panes performed the same operation as double-clicking on a part in the element listing... it brings up the part# modification dialog. It would be nice to have that (...) (24 years ago, 4-Nov-00, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
 
  I made my first comuterized LEGO models
 
Not having a Lego-drawing program to work with, I used the Paint program. It took a while, but wasn't that hard with the straight line tool. They look surprisingly neat, but don't have studs (yet). Just small stuff for now, a nice snow plough made (...) (24 years ago, 4-Nov-00, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.fun, lugnet.general)
 
  Re: Is it appropriate to post large models here?
 
(...) The high detail versions of the 8880 wheels where quite large. Surprisingly, the largest part I have in my collection is the floating astronaut picture piece. (24 years ago, 4-Nov-00, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Is it appropriate to post large models here?
 
(...) It's not, no, and I think there have been a couple large parts that were converted from some other format that were in the neighborhood of that size. --Todd (24 years ago, 3-Nov-00, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: New Partsref is pure bliss
 
(...) Beige is whiter than the "tan" bricks (white bricks do turn "tan" in the sun though). Tan, before TLC started making it, was a brownish grey, wasn't it? I would like to call the brick colour "sand". (24 years ago, 3-Nov-00, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.general)
 
  Re: New Partsref is pure bliss
 
(...) Another reason to call it 'tan' is because that's a lot easier to spell! :-) -- David Schilling (24 years ago, 3-Nov-00, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.general)
 
  Re: How do I speed things up ?
 
It sure would ! I was thinking along these lines a few days ago and I tried a small experiment. I manually edited copies of the .dat files for the basic bricks that my model uses and removed all of the "extraneous" quads and studs so that each part (...)

  Re: repost: chains1.dat
 
(...) And one quadrant is still "squirrely". Try a zoom of about 6000 in l3lab, select the menu option "View/Random colors" and then spin the chain link around a few times. You'll see that all the polys are nice and parallel in 3 quadrants, but all (...) (24 years ago, 3-Nov-00, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
 
  Re: How do I speed things up ?
 
(...) Yes, it would help. How about having an option to draw all prior steps in wireframe mode? Or have a meta-statement to turn wireframe off and on? Either of those might be easier to use than flagging specific parts. Steve (24 years ago, 3-Nov-00, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
