  Re: MLCAD introductory info
 
(...) Heh, yeah. Hopefully that step was self-evident. :) Another step I left out is deleting the submodel line from the main model. --Ryan (23 years ago, 11-Jun-01, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
 
  Re: conversion to POVRAY
 
(...) Not a bad choice. Also consider L3Lab... what I like about it is that you can rotate the model to check for stuff you messed up. Yes, you can do that in MLCad as well but it's good as a double check. (23 years ago, 11-Jun-01, to lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Re: the color silver
 
You can specify the color in MLCad (silver: #383), but it takes on the characteristics of silver only when it's rendered in POV-ray. --Ryan (23 years ago, 11-Jun-01, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
 
  the color silver
 
Does anybody know how to make the color silver available/work in MLCad? Or is that a POV-Ray thing? Rob McMurray spaceghost0@dellmail.com (23 years ago, 11-Jun-01, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
 
  Re: conversion to POVRAY
 
(...) Alternatively, I recommend that, if you're going to start with L3P, as I did, your best bet is simply to render the model straight off the page: l3p model.dat and then play around with the POV file within POV-Ray. I'm not especially conversant (...) (23 years ago, 11-Jun-01, to lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Re: conversion to POVRAY
 
(...) I would suggest skipping the learning curve of L3P and download the L3PAddOn program. It is a very nice windows interface that writes out the L3P commands. You can download it at www.Ldraw.org. Jake --- Jake McKee AFOL LUGNET Member #211 (23 years ago, 11-Jun-01, to lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  conversion to POVRAY
 
Hi This weekend I have been reading the instructions for L3P, both the ones on the site and the ones that come zipped with the program. I can't work it out Could someone give me a brief, clear guide as to how to use it? Thanks, Tim (23 years ago, 11-Jun-01, to lugnet.cad.ray)

  Re: Problem finding standard parts in MLCAD
 
(...) One more part-finding suggestion: if you're online, use Partsref or Peeron.com. (URL) gives you a list of all the Partsref categories, and a search function.

  Re: Minifig Construction, Part Numbering
