Tore, if you could create a tutorial while you're working on it on "How to Build Datsville", it might make a good addition to the reference section of ldraw.org. Anyway, it would give some information for people to chew on. Slap some screenshots on (...) (23 years ago, 17-Aug-01, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Yeah, but in the model creation process, no real time would be lost. If an automaitic utility were created to aid in the building process that would, say, ask for the requested element size, you could make a ttore brick that's 15 x 15 x 1, or (...) (23 years ago, 17-Aug-01, to lugnet.cad)

|

Michael, if in next version of MLCad you could include support for ttore.box's, one would be able to make render-smart models without having to waste time by going back and "optimizing" the same model model you just built. A new menu item like "New (...) (23 years ago, 17-Aug-01, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

There was never agreement on what the BFC standard should be. So there aren't very many parts that follow it in any way. I do have a set of primitives that are BFC-compliant. I didn't straighten out all the primitives, but I did a number of them. I (...) (23 years ago, 17-Aug-01, to lugnet.cad.dev)
