hi folks, I'm looking for some nerds as well as newbies to test my MLCad+LSynth tutorial at: (URL) keep in mind that usually I'm targeting users with no or little experience (well, during writing I realised that this one is quite a brainer and (...) (20 years ago, 23-Jun-04, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Long-term, making connection data a part of the library would be awesome. Short-term, getting a working implementation should be the focus. Dan (Bennett) - would you like some publicity for GLIDE and click authors on LDraw.org? I can't spare (...) (20 years ago, 23-Jun-04, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev.lcd, lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) Note also that a 1x4 brick can be attached to a 2x4 brick anywhere on about 70-80 degree angle if only attached by the end stud - its only the other studs hitting the sides that restrict it. ROSCO (20 years ago, 23-Jun-04, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev.lcd, lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

I guess I'm thinking about this differently. It's not that the individual studs on the brick don't allow other mating angles. (IE you can place a 1 x 6 technic plate with rounded ends on any single stud at some funcky angles) It's the combination of (...)

(...) I really like the way the .dat format reuses geometry e.g. stud.dat. I think the clicking format should be able to do the same thing. I imagine that would be quite a bit more difficult to reuse if the clicking info was in the dat files. (...) (...) (20 years ago, 23-Jun-04, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev.lcd, lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) I do indeed think it would be undesirable. As we all know Stud.dat gets used every ware. There are a fair few instances were the clicking behaviours of two bricks would be different even though they are both referencing the same stud.dat file (...)

(...) Unreflect is a better word--just undo the X coordinate swap that -1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 does. I believe they're equivalent things--I'm doing a clockwise rotation, then negating the X coordinate swap, you're doing the opposite rotation. I think (...) (20 years ago, 23-Jun-04, to lugnet.cad)
