Its interesting to see the two side by side. It appears that LDGLite has better shading, but LDView is smoother on the outlines. Is there antialiasing on LDView then? Danny -- (URL) - Build Robots (...) (19 years ago, 15-Oct-05, to lugnet.cad)

Sorry 'bout that. I'm modeling a tacho wheel, and I used the core off of one of the double bevel gears that I brought into Blender, which means that I should've started at the right scale to begin with. After I was done, I also brought in an axle (...) (19 years ago, 14-Oct-05, to lugnet.cad)

Hi all, I made a quick model of the Tacho Wheel for a friend, and exported it out of Blender. It shows up in MLCAD, but it's never the right size. I've tried scaling it up and down, and it makes no difference to the end file apparently. Is there a (...) (19 years ago, 14-Oct-05, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
