Regarding the proposed file format document: (URL) is no mention of the scale used by the x/y/z triplets in the various linetypes. I would suggest there should be a paragraph introducing the concept of LDU, and how it relates to bricks and "real (...) (20 years ago, 24-Feb-05, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) Nice. I built the dice in the real world before (different interior). The only problem I found is getting them to land upright. Solution is to add more dots of the same color as the background so that each side has a larger flat area to rest (...) (20 years ago, 24-Feb-05, to lugnet.cad.dat.models, FTX)

(...) might find it easier to use a shear matrix. To shear a part, you basically decide which axes are effected, such as the part's Y value increases or decreases as the Z value increases, and then add a shearing factor to the matrix in the right (...)

I guess I could imagine: 0 SYNTH BEGIN STRINGMESH 0 // add your constraints here 0 SYNTH END The constraints would have to include what the mesh (...) (20 years ago, 22-Feb-05, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

(...) When importing from 3DS files into Max, you need to weld vertices for the model after import. 3DS files contain lots of coincident vertices for historic reasons.
