  Re: Creating 47457.dat 2x2x2/3 Sloped&Rounded
 
(...) The general standard is to go up to 3 decimal places in part files. I agree, main vertices really don't need more than 1 or 2 places. For derived vertices, more precision may be require to keep everything aligned, so going out to 3 places is (...) (20 years ago, 1-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, FTX)

It was better, but I still wish the vertices aligned in columns. (...) (20 years ago, 1-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, FTX)
 
  Re: Radiosity example (F1 Ferrari) once again
 
(...) After looking closely at the forklift image, I think the stair-step effect is happening due to POV-Ray's adaptive antialiasing algorithm. It's much quicker to render the image at the desired resolution with adaptive antialiasing enabled in POV (...) (20 years ago, 30-Sep-04, to lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Re: Suggestion: New column for hidden
 
(...) I think that sounds like a great idea, the hidden ones will be a lot easier to spot when scrolling if grey (and finding the RIGHT piece to unhide). -NB (20 years ago, 30-Sep-04, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

"Nico Kaiser" <nico@siriux.net> wrote in message (...) Are you 100% sure about this? Usually the stair effect is caused by a lack of anti aliasing.

  Suggestion: New column for hidden
 
Hi Michael, It is occasionally useful to be able to see the description of a part when it is hidden. I would like to suggest a new column, maybe to the left of "type", that has an icon depicting whether or not the line is hidden. Maybe a little eye (...)

  Re: Wheels with/without metal axle

  Re: Creating 47457.dat 2x2x2/3 Sloped&Rounded
 
I personally round off the numbers to 4 decimals, but I’ve been known to do crazy stuff like modelling in 1/100 (max zoom in mlcad) and use 1-24 parts of high res primitives from time to time. But I would suggest you to round off to (at least) two (...) (20 years ago, 29-Sep-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, FTX)
 
  Re: Wheels with/without metal axle
 
(...) Thanks for doing this, Niels. Is changing the diameter of these axles from 8 to 7.5 really worth it? They still won't fit in most axleholes, because LDraw's axles don't fit the actual geometry of technic axleholes. However, I am *not* (...) (20 years ago, 29-Sep-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
