  review: Radeon 7000 for BrickDraw3D, low-end Mac
 
Upgrading my stock Apple G3/233 with a Radeon 7000 gave BrickDraw3D an 85% speed improvement. In pure OpenGL mode the improvement is 60% over the existing OpenGL advantage. The 2002 ATI Retail Card Update worked on G3/233 with 9.1 but BrickDraw3D (...) (23 years ago, 11-Apr-02, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.cad.dev.mac)
 
  Re: Enhancement request - File dialogs
 
I'll take that into the wishlist. The dialog currently used is standard windows .. if I haven't overseen something that's all it can do. But generating a new one might not be so hard ... I'll have a look. Michael "Larry Pieniazek" (...) (23 years ago, 11-Apr-02, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

  Re: New Part: 3001p59.dat - Brick 2 x 4 with Shell text
 
Tony, Tore, The 2x4 shell brick came in set <set:325 Shell service station> . That's the rare European only one with the yellow doors. I also have that 2x4 Shell text brick, if you want more pictures/comparisons. Also, there is a single brick with 2 (...) (23 years ago, 11-Apr-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

I don't know yet. Have a look at: (URL) quick, before seller removes pic. Maybe we should make a difference between the Shell logo pattern and the Shell text pattern? I think so. Don't we have the same issue with Octan and maybe Esso, too? /Tore (...) (23 years ago, 10-Apr-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) Hey, cool! What set did this come in? Note that the 1x6 with Shell text on the tracker right now hasn't been certified yet. From talking to Steve, it seems that "with Shell text" isn't the ideal name. I'm going to rename it to "with Shell (...) (23 years ago, 10-Apr-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

  Re: Modeling String

  Enhancement request - File dialogs

(...) So stud4 would be decomposed into 16 trapezoidal prisms? That sounds like a fair amount of mark up. (...) Nod, true.
