(...) This is one prime number relationship in the system. If cell spacing is 20 and stud radius is 6, then a diagonal distance between two studs is 20 * Sqrt(2) - 12, or about 16.28. This is the tube outside diameter. The inside diameter ought to (...) (22 years ago, 26-Nov-02, to lugnet.cad)

Not too much to add except this... drive letters can be used not only for things like CDs but also for subdirectories of existing hard drives. (1) So you could set up a directory like C:\mumble\LDrawCDimage\ then do a NET USE like net use l: (...) (22 years ago, 26-Nov-02, to lugnet.cad)

The LDraw standards for dimensions make up a self-consistent system, though that system has some fundamental differences when compared to real-world bricks. (...) The general rule is that a plate is 1/8th of an inch, so one ldraw unit is 1/64th of (...) (22 years ago, 26-Nov-02, to lugnet.cad)

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)

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)

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)

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)
