  Re: smooth_triangle algorithmizer?
 
(...) Hi Kevin-- Thanks for the link! I hadn't seen your reply until now, or I would have thanked you sooner. I'll experiment with this app when I get home. Dave! (22 years ago, 26-Nov-02, to lugnet.cad.ray)

  Re: A Portable Modeling CD for Holiday Travels?
 
Shaun, Not sure if this will help you or not, but there is an old dos command named SUBST, which will substitute a drive letter and path for another. For instance you could type Subst L: D:\ and that will create an L drive on your system that refers (...) (22 years ago, 26-Nov-02, to lugnet.cad)
 
  A Portable Modeling CD for Holiday Travels?
 
All right, I may be in way over my head here, but here goes anyway: Firstly, let me give you an idea of what we're up against. I'm certainly computer literate, maybe even computer handy. I am not, however, a computer guru. Speak slow, give (...) (22 years ago, 26-Nov-02, to lugnet.cad)

  Re: Capitalization of filenames
 
I think the reason for the capital .DAT extension is because LDraw was original DOS. If you install the original package under windows, all directories and files will be capitals as well. Furthermore I do not experience any problems with lower or (...) (22 years ago, 26-Nov-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Lego Brick Dimensions Changes?
 
Has anyone taken the time to measure a standard 2x4 brick or plate in detail? More than just outer height width and length but inner wall thicknesses, cylinder diameters etc. I've been spending time working out the relationships and proportions of (...) (22 years ago, 26-Nov-02, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Capitalization of filenames
 
It seems like a while back, parts were supposed to have the extension ".DAT". But I'm seeing that all the links on ldraw.org seem to point to files with ".dat" at the end. What's the scoop- are lower-case filenames considered ideal now? Which ldraw (...) (22 years ago, 25-Nov-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Glass... to BFC or not to BFC?
 
(...) They require a different approach to optimization - visibility culling, not backface culling. You're right in thinking they should not be BFC. The exception I think might be a full box - which gets composited twice in a polygon system like (...) (22 years ago, 25-Nov-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

  Glass... to BFC or not to BFC?
 
When authoring "glass" parts, should I include BFC statements? It seems like we wouldn't want to cull because all surfaces should be visible from any direction. On the other hand, BFC is a performance optimization and transparent surfaces are (...) (22 years ago, 25-Nov-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

  Re: Wanted: An AutoTouch Utility

  Re: ldglite broke in Mac OS X 10.2.2
 
(...) I just checked and the SourceForge compile farm only has 10.1 available so I can't compile it on 10.2 right now. Didn't Apple switch to make extensive use of OpenGL in the 10.2 desktop? Who knows what that may have broken. (Perhaps the patched (...) (22 years ago, 25-Nov-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)
 
  ldglite broke in Mac OS X 10.2.2
 
The ldglite window in Mac OS X 10.2.2 shows nothing... I am assuming it broke in 10.2. Apple changed quite a bit between 10.1 and 10.2. It probably just needs to be rebuilt. James (22 years ago, 25-Nov-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)
