I was hoping we could break the ice. I was thinking we could all just post a message to the newsgroup giving a little info about ourselves. It could be as brief as you like, such as "Hi, I use a Mac and program" or something more if you want. This (...) (23 years ago, 10-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)

| | Re: A comprehensive LDraw object model
|
|
(...) IIRC (and I wish I could find the reference) the LDraw spec does support this. It depends on the order of the points in the polygon; e.g. clockwise points out, counterclockwise points in. Or something like that. But last I heard of this, there (...) (23 years ago, 10-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) I'll have a better answer for this when I port my Java implementation to Perl. But yah, I guess "comprehensive" and "generic" don't quite mix well. I want comprehensive, in that this library could be used for many different methods of (...) (23 years ago, 10-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

I like this. I don't think I can contribute that much. I would like to though. I have been working in Java with my animation program ((URL) and I can contribute a class for LineType1. Most useful is a rotation function that I would like to think is (...) (23 years ago, 10-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) The base class is abstract, the ones not marked "abstract" aren't. This class hierarchy is actually the class library I whipped up over the past week. About 95% of what I posted here has working code, but I didn't want to push any of that if (...) (23 years ago, 10-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Actually this brings up a different issue. I haven't put alot of thought into it yet, but I think it would be useful to add information in the part files that would allow a program to differentiate between geometry that represents 'outside' (...) (23 years ago, 10-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

Hi Steven - This looks neat, but... am I missing something here? What does this have to do with CAD? If I just didn't see the connection, I apologize, but I can't see anything in BimP associated with CAD stuff, and therefore this thread does not (...) (23 years ago, 10-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad)

Ray, Check to see if there is a preference file for macLDGLite in your preferences folder. If there is, delete it and relaunch macLDGLite. It should aks where the ldraw folder is. James (...) (23 years ago, 10-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)

How about an LDraw DAT model reducer - something that hacks out the insides and leaves nothing but a hollow shell? This way you could port it to platforms that can't handle so many polygons, and also render in realtime. It would kind of be like (...) (23 years ago, 10-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) I'm having problems getting macLDGLite .5 to run on ... iMac 333Mhz / MacOS 8.6 / 160MB It launches, but whenever I try to render anything, I get a long rapidly scrolling list of files that are not found. I think it doesn't see the LDRAW (...) (23 years ago, 10-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)

| | ldglite .94 on Mac OS X quirk
|
|
I am playing with ldglite on Mac OS X. One question I have for Don is the save path. I opened a file in the models folder. I saved the file and it saved it where I have ldglite located (my home directory). Is this suppose to happen? James (23 years ago, 10-Feb-02, to lugnet.admin.nntp, lugnet.cad.dev.mac)
