  Re: "Clusters" of Studs?
 
(...) From the way Steve explained it, it sounds like stug4 would be a 4x4 square, not a 2x2 square, in which case going from stugN to stugN+1 actually does give you another 2N+1 studs. When you think about it, by your reasoning, you'd never (...) (20 years ago, 25-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)
 
  Re: LDGlite and LPub
 
(...) Please note that L3P's field of view is the horizontal field of view, and OpenGL's is the vertical field of view. You have to convert if you want the same result. You can check real quick by doing a square image in each. If they look the same, (...) (20 years ago, 25-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: "Clusters" of Studs?
 
Since I haven't authored any parts, I'm not going to go into this too deeply, but I think that square groups is a good idea. One minor note. Going from one group size to the next gives you 2 * sqrt(N) + 1 new studs, not 2N + 1. --Travis (20 years ago, 25-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)

  Re: magnet.dat
 
The first question: I don't have the older trainsets. Have LEGO magnets always been the same size? (I think they have) Unless they've changed in size, we should all be using the same size magnet in LDraw. You are correct, s\magnet.dat is both the (...)

(...) <snip> (...) Ooooohhhhh. Thanks for that one..... that will make my code smaller. (...) Kevin (20 years ago, 25-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: LDGlite and LPub
 
(...) Yeah, me too, but opengl requires it. I didn't make them automatic because the ldlite parser draws as it parses, so it doesn't have access to the bounding box of the model. I'll fix it for the l3 parser to default the clipping planes just (...) (20 years ago, 25-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: LDGlite and LPub
 
(...) I just wasn't sure what to do with -z and -Z. LPub has to manage ROTSTEPS and such, so it pre-rotates the model into the desired view angle. It also centers the model in the process. The default value of -z10 clips the front of the car off. (...) (20 years ago, 25-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  magnet.dat
 
I think I can not use magnet.dat for the old Plate 2 x 4 with Magnet Holder (x499.dat) for the following reason: 1) I assume, that the newly created parts should be like reality. 2) Magnet.dat looks to me like a subpart that should not be like it (...)

  Re: LDGlite and LPub
 
(...) I can live with -ms, but would prefer to have -mS working also. I'm not sure if the rapid popping up and down of the window will cause palpatations. (...) Thanks again, Kevin (20 years ago, 25-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad.dev)
