(...) Yes- tweaking with the colors would probably be very helpful. I believe that MLCAD lets you do this. I'm confused about the "darker background" comment though. At least one other person mentioned this. I can certainly understand that another (...) (23 years ago, 7-Jan-02, to lugnet.space, lugnet.cad, lugnet.publish.html)

(...) I'd have no hassle calling them bricks, but they need to be called "brick with holes" or "brick, technic" or "technic brick" to distinguish them from hole-less bricks. Should it be a separate category? I lean towards yes, because there's quite (...) (23 years ago, 7-Jan-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) Thank you for bringing this to my attention. In the cause of accurate part identification, part 3836 is being renamed to Brick 3/4 x 1 & 1/2 x 1/2 Corrugated with Bar 4L at 30 Degree Angle ;) Steve (23 years ago, 7-Jan-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw, lugnet.off-topic.fun)

(...) Well put. Describe parts by their geometry and connectivity configuration, not by the theme they came from or the type of use they were first put to. ONLY when doing so is terribly unweildly (sp!) would I break from that. Thus: not "rod 5l (...) (23 years ago, 7-Jan-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) The best (and only?) program to ray-trace LDraw-files is POV-Ray. But you can't open LDraw-files direct into POV-Ray. You have to convert them to .POV-files using L3P. Both programs can be downloaded via (URL) well, Jeroen (23 years ago, 7-Jan-02, to lugnet.cad)
