  Re: Strange rendering
 
Ah, simple answer: The last line of the 6558.dat file does not end in a carriage return. Simple add a return at the end of the file and it should display correctly. I'll log the bug. There's quite a few lines of the parser dedicated to handling this (...) (23 years ago, 10-Aug-01, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.cad)

  New renders and models
 
Hi all, Today I have put up some new renders of models at my site. Among them are the projects that are already there: Impossible figures, Infinate Waterfall (Escher), Rhino and the Black and Blue Space Ship. What is new? There is a new "Render" (...)

  Strange rendering
 
Hi all, Can anyone tell me why LDLite (2.2) is rendering the #6558 "Technic Pin long with Friction" piece like this: (URL) (23 years ago, 10-Aug-01, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.cad)

  terrain in LDraw
 
I don't know if anyone's ever thought of this, but it would be cool if you were able to import a terrain file into LDraw, in a way that LDraw could read it. This way, you could place your models on "real world terrain" without having to work in a (...) (23 years ago, 10-Aug-01, to lugnet.cad.dev)

  Re: An interesting CAD image
 
(...) This was actually a misfeature, but it's a convoluted story to explain. I accidentally accomplished what I at first set out to do. :) It kinda looks like the car is decloaking. :) -Gary (23 years ago, 10-Aug-01, to lugnet.cad.dev)

  An interesting CAD image
 
(URL) image shows James Jessiman's car.dat file with every part marked as "selected" in GWCAD. The result is that the car resembles an auto magazine ad in which parts of the vehicle are displayed semi-translucent so callouts can be drawn to all the (...)

  Re: Postscript converter
 
(...) Yes, that's where I got stuck. If anyone knows a nice occlusion algorithm that solves this problem in vector space (without converting to raster) I could probably also use it to speed up the rest of ldglite as well. I'm hoping for an (...) (23 years ago, 9-Aug-01, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Author key in ldraw.ini\[LDraw]
 
(...) Yes, there is. But the [LDraw Add-On] section should really be for stuff internal to LDAO, so we could discuss putting it somewhere else. Like [LDraw] or [New File Defaults], or something. Steve (23 years ago, 9-Aug-01, to lugnet.cad.dev)
