(...) I use the files provided on the web site of BBB, and haven't noticed any troubles. They, may be, are huge file ... I don't know, I'm not an expert in this domain. I simply use these files. By the way, the wheels are great stuff to play with. (...) (20 years ago, 24-Dec-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) Note that FWIW, BrickLink and Peeron and other inventory resources tend not to get to this level of detail either, they typically do not differentiate this. (20 years ago, 23-Dec-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)

(...) Hello, James! [snip description of situation leading up to the question] (...) The standard in the LDraw library is to use stud3.dat for all stud3-type anti-studs, regardless of whether they are actually hollow or solid. The reason is that (...)

| | stud3 -- hollow vs filled
|
|
Hello, everyone. When I was working on 71427 (expect a post on l.c.d.parts soon), I noticed that the two small underside studs were modeled with a pair of cyli4-4s and a disk1. When looking for the proper primitive to replace that with, I noticed (...) (20 years ago, 23-Dec-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives, FTX)

(...) Maybe it is indeed the best to add some features to Lsynth, for I and many with me don't have a clue what to do with the sourcecode and formulas, the only thing I might be useful to is in saying what would be a good userinterface... (20 years ago, 22-Dec-04, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Hi Kevin, Thank you for taking a look at the problem, I'll mail you the parts, you can see more pictures of hoses I've done with my parts in my brickshelf... Regards, Misha (20 years ago, 22-Dec-04, to lugnet.cad)

As I'm getting back in the swing of all things ldraw, I tried out the Mac OS X version of LDView ((URL) Pretty cool viewer - works well on my G4 running 10.3.7. No crazy interface artifacts. Encountered a couple little bugs, figured I'd mention them (...) (20 years ago, 21-Dec-04, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)

(...) I have talked to the POV-Ray folks and figured out what I need to do to package a version of POV-Ray with my app L3P Launcher. So in my next version it will be all self contained (l3p and povray) and will be able to do the renders for you. I (...) (20 years ago, 21-Dec-04, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)

(...) I think you are unneccesarily complicating things. In this case, I think simply providing a way for the user to overide the reference part directory is the way to go. -Orion (20 years ago, 21-Dec-04, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Check for a line beginning "0 Unofficial" or "0 Official" in the file. OTOH, not all official parts have that marker, and there's even a few that have had a "0 Unofficial" marker skip in. (If a parts-admin is looking, subparts 30387s01 and (...) (20 years ago, 21-Dec-04, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Oh, why not. Could you list it with the same address alias as in the about box (anoved@binghamton.edu)? That would keep it consistent. (...) Cool.
