|
|
Several industrious guys (Larry, Adrian, Dan, probably some others I'm neglecting) have figured out the part bags that LF is using for its pricing, and how to convert these into files that can be used directly within LEGO Digital Designer! By (...) (19 years ago, 1-Sep-05, to lugnet.cad, FTX) !!

I've made a minifig-scale air hockey table, as well as I could given the LEGO Factory constraints and the desire to keep the price as close to reasonable as I could (which is to say, I built it from a single kit — this was before the bag inventories (...)

(...) "Infuriating" is a rather strong word, but I definitely find all the LEGO CAD systems I have tried suboptimal. Unfortunately I'm a lazy bastard who spends more time thinking about how to solve the problems than actually solving them. (...) I (...)

What tool would convert just the surface information from ldr to pov or lws? Would 3DWin do it? (19 years ago, 31-Aug-05, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Ah, no, I'm sorry — I didn't test that part. I tested that you can load such a custom .tix file into LDD, add it to your active list just like one of the built-in part sets, and make use of it to build a model. I didn't test that LF will (...) (19 years ago, 31-Aug-05, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
