I've been releasing new versions of BrickDraw3D in the past few days. Tonight's build has a lot more than the last advertised version. First, the location has moved. New home page with more pretty pictures: (URL) It's still just a viewer. But now it (...) (24 years ago, 10-Jan-01, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(Note: Please follow-up to ".cad.dev".) (...) OK, first you need to bear in mind that LDraw does _NOT_ draw true curves, it draws _angles_. If you have enough angles in a line, from a sufficient distance, this angled line will _appear_ to be a true (...) (24 years ago, 10-Jan-01, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, lugnet.cad.dev)

| | Question about generating curves
|
|
What is an optional line? These seem to be used for modeling curves, but I don't have a clue how to use them. While I'm asking, what is a BFC statement? Um... and why does MLCAD use a German-localized cancel button for the BFC statement dialog? -- (...) (24 years ago, 10-Jan-01, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

|
|
Here is a Duplo 2x2 with eyes on both sides. It's a fairly common piece, and I thought it would be a great first printed piece for me to do from scratch. I don't know why I thought this was a good piece to start with. This was a major pain, what (...) (24 years ago, 10-Jan-01, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

Here's the soccer ball, with the GDL converted to standard LDraw. No LDL or MPD. I also just realized that there are no conditional lines between the facets. Oops.
