 | | Multi Part Files?
|
|
Being new, I havn't figured out how to use MPD part files. Ldraw keeps telling me that it can't find the subparts. How can I get this to work? John kruer (23 years ago, 11-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

I too had though about a complete re-write, but it's so hard to get motivated to take on the project when you see how much stuff is packed into the existing TD. First I make a list of what I'd like to have in such an application, then I list what (...) (23 years ago, 11-Mar-02, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.cad)

(...) I wouldn't contemplate a rewrite at this stage, without seeing the original code. It may be possible to do what you ask and more, with the code that has already been written.

No disrespect to Matt, but how about a rewrite. Couple thoughts: TD3D (Track Designer 3D). This was very loosely suggested at the LDraw round table at BricksWest (maybe by Jake ???). I'm not at all suggesting track design in MLCAD, but rather a (...) (23 years ago, 11-Mar-02, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.cad)

I'm definitely in favor of moving the "Brush" parts into another category. I'm not convinced that "Car" is the best category for these elements, especially since the new names indicate they should be in "Car Wash", not "Car". Does anyone else have (...)

Now I have begun to make these parts. Whereas I remade the Brush. I think we should rename these parts: 2473.dat OLD: "Brush Car Wash" NEW: "Car Wash Brush" 2578.dat OLD: "Brush Holder Street Sweeper" NEW: "Car Wash Brush Holder Street Sweeper" This (...)
