(...) Yes. I realized after I wrote the above that MLCad GROUPS are a good way of naming, since they already exist. Even simply being able to remove all parts in a group from the model would be sufficient. Then you could add a new part or parts to (...) (20 years ago, 9-Mar-05, to lugnet.cad)

(...) I suppose you could use the mlcad GROUP meta-command to name your parts. Then perhaps you could invent a SUBSTITUTE meta-command to substitute one group for another? I don't know, it could work. Enjoy, Don (20 years ago, 9-Mar-05, to lugnet.cad)

Very nice! But I dunno - you might need longer ceiling fan blades to circulate the air in that large of a room. :-) I'd love to be able to see this kind of thing in a Quicktime VR file. Wonder how hard that is... James Wilson Dallas, TX (20 years ago, 9-Mar-05, to lugnet.cad.dat.models, FTX)

Whenver I build a LEGO model, I always pay attention to things that they can do that we cannot, or we cannot do easily. One of the things that is very hard to do is, change the shape, orientation or location of a part added in previous steps. In (...) (20 years ago, 9-Mar-05, to lugnet.cad)

If I were a minifig I'd have a walk in shower, a jet tub and oh yes ladies a 10 wide bed. (2 URLs) I'm thinkin' I might be a technic minifig Chris. (20 years ago, 9-Mar-05, to lugnet.cad.dat.models, lugnet.announce.moc, FTX) !

I have now given Blender a good test, and I am hooked. The user interface is a bit weird at first, but it grows on you, and I expect it to be quite easy to use once I get the hang of it. The software features are perfect for this: GNU Free software (...) (20 years ago, 8-Mar-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)
