  Re: idea for next version, include ttore boxes
 
First: ttore.dat is a model of my parents' house, included in Datsville. ttore.box is the boundary box file for that very model. Just wanted to clarify. I have made some files like 3001.box, 3002.box etc. (Still missing some, like Plate 1 x 6.) With (...) (23 years ago, 17-Aug-01, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

(...) 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)

  idea for next version, include ttore boxes
 
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.

  Re: BFC revisited
 
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.
