Well, after finally getting Ldraw and MLCad to my other (non-internet) computor, MlCad decides to crash. It asks me if I want to register the file types. Then, when you click yes OR no, it crashes (illegal opperation) and whenever I try to open it, (...) (23 years ago, 29-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

(...) (URL) is an example of a scene that used LGEo parts and has other stuff in it. You can make it more complex by adding 'better' terrain using FORESETR or TERRAGEN to it.

The tooth profile of a gear follows an involute curve, which means the profile is the involute of a base circle slightly smaller than the (...)

Cool. I like the parallel-paths-to-ground idea that you'd get with conductance and studs as resistors. I can see large 1x16 "ground plane beams being used, likewise maybe wall pieces. Another interesting aspect is surface gradients, and the use of (...) (23 years ago, 29-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev)

What is the minimum memory a computer needs to render a POV-file with LGEO-parts? 128Mb? 256? more? I know it depends on the size of the file, but is there a sort of guide for it? I need to know for the REND101 manual. Jeroen (23 years ago, 28-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.ray)
