  Re: How's LEGO Factory working out?
 
(...) Well, on October 12 Jake answered some LEGO Factory questions on (URL) his blog> (also posted on (URL) LEGOFan>), but it doesn't seem like anything has happened since then. Jake's answer included this quote: We’re working on creating an (...) (19 years ago, 23-Nov-05, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
 
  LDraw.org MOTM Status
 
It's been a while since the MOTM contest has been run and I feel that I owe an explanation to those who support me and LDraw.org. As some of you may know, I'm enlisted in the US Navy. Due to a combination of work schedule change, the planning and (...) (19 years ago, 23-Nov-05, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

  How's LEGO Factory working out?
 
I got trapped under something heavy and haven't followed things in the LEGO world for the last couple of months. Last I was in it, a few of us had just figured out how the LEGO Factory bags are organized, and how to get part sets into LDD that (...) (19 years ago, 22-Nov-05, to lugnet.cad, FTX)  
 
  Re: LDraw files for Large models/scenes?
 
(...) One possibility would be to make the 'background' town and render it with a spherical camera (angle 180,90 IIRC). This can be saved and then mapped onto the sky_sphere (or a smaller encompassing sphere) and used as the background for scenes. I (...) (19 years ago, 17-Nov-05, to lugnet.cad)

  Re: L3P-Bug using LGEO

  Re: L3P-Bug using LGEO
 
(...) Surely the extension is entirely to identify the type of file, otherwise they would be irrelevant? While I understand that .dat is a widely used extension it would be foolish if any change was to .ldr (for parts), another extension would make (...) (19 years ago, 16-Nov-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)

  Re: L3P-Bug using LGEO
 
(...) What can I say? Tim has always been focused sharply on models. Although he used "model" extensively throughout that post, any implication of having separate definitions of "part" vs "model" as file-types is inaccurate. (...) That was entirely (...)

  Re: L3P-Bug using LGEO
 
(...) Yes, I would be great. But while it doesn't distinguish, we have to deal with it. I think the naming convention we had had before the .ldr extension, with officicial models named m926.dat and so on, solves this problem. So I suggest you name (...)

  Re: L3P-Bug using LGEO
 
(...) Getting back to the problem at hand, yes I do think this is a bug in L3P, the line specifically says include 926.ldr. Maybe L3P should include the extension as part of the inc file name unless it is .DAT? Of course that will break if the parts (...) (19 years ago, 15-Nov-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)

  Re: L3P-Bug using LGEO
 
(...) I don't think L3P pays any attention to parts.lst. To be honest, I don't think that it should. It's not an editor that's expected to give you a list of parts available for use. (And to be honest, I think that parts.lst is a generally bad idea, (...) (19 years ago, 14-Nov-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)
