Hi all builders, cadders, datters, mlcadders and spacers, I challenge anyone to make Startrek spaceships to the scale of my Deep Space 9 station! Who's in for it? Jaco P.S.

(...) You need to have the user pick more than just the "male" and "female" locations. To get the two bricks on top of each other (instead of inside each other), the "male" and "female" locations ought to have some concept for up and down. For parts (...) (20 years ago, 18-Aug-04, to lugnet.cad)

How does one generate a complete list of parts (actual Lego elements) for a model that includes sub-assemblies in other files? MLCad just reports the sub-assemblies as a single "part". My model is complex enough that just pasting together copies of (...) (20 years ago, 18-Aug-04, to lugnet.cad)

I think that when edge lines are turned on, Seam Width tends to just lead to extra noise in the image. On a side note, the Subdued (...) (20 years ago, 18-Aug-04, to lugnet.cad.ray, FTX)
