  Re: Instructions for Mobile Message Decoder
 
(...) 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)
 
  Re: Proposal: New Parts Category for round parts
 
(...) It sounds like a good idea, although it fails the "is a" test. That is, if I look at a piece in my hand, I might think "It is a brick" "It is a slope" "It is a hinge" "It is a plate". I would not is "It is a round" I think the previous (...) (23 years ago, 7-Jan-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
 
  Re: Proposal: New Parts Category for round parts
 
(...) 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)
 
  Re: Proposal: New Parts Category for round parts
 
(...) 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)
 
  Re: Proposal: New Parts Category for round parts
 
(...) 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)
 
  Re: Instructions for Mobile Message Decoder
 
(...) There's not enough contrast within the black pieces. On my monitor it just looks like one large black POOP rather than several black pieces stuck together. LEGO uses a dark grey in their instructions, with a heavy black line to show the (...) (23 years ago, 7-Jan-02, to lugnet.space, lugnet.cad, lugnet.publish.html)
 
  Re: Rendering?
 
(...) 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)
 
  Re: Proposal: New Parts Category for round parts
 
(...) Thanks for clearing this up, Joshua. (...) How about the other suggestions made by Fredrik and me? ('... and myself'? I never was good at grammar) (...) What about the full-width beams with cross-axle holes in the ends? Are those liftarms or (...) (23 years ago, 7-Jan-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
 
  Re: Proposal: New Parts Category for round parts
 
(...) Yes, they are bricks, but they are commonly called 'beams'. (...) Good point. I don't see the open center bricks being called beams. (...) If that was the only anomolous part, I'd be willing to label it a beam. I yield to your superior counter (...) (23 years ago, 7-Jan-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
 
  Re: LDRAW crash
 
(...) That is a known problem with LEdit. Jacob, thanks for adding this to the FAQ. (...) I'm not sure of your exact meaning here, so I'm answering both possible meanings: Yes, if you want to *edit* your part in LEdit, you will need to break it up. (...)
