As we near the release of LDD 2.0, I offer the following tale... Two weeks ago, I was visiting the Tyson's Corner LEGO Store. Although the store still sells 9V track and motors, they no longer carry 9V train sets, which number only a few these days (...) (18 years ago, 18-Mar-07, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.cad.ldd, FTX) !

Hi folks, as promised in this post: (URL) wrote a short tutorial about the MLCad.ini file. The file tells the Minifig Generator in MLCad as well as Bricksmith - the counterpart LDraw editor in the MAC world - which parts are available. In addition, (...)

That did it! For some reason the parts in question were set to "Chrome", which would explain the dingy gray color in the renderings. Thanks David John (18 years ago, 18-Mar-07, to lugnet.cad)

Dear CAD experts... I'm finally getting used to MLCAD, but now I'm starting to do some rendering work, and that is where I'm having problems. I've made some robots I want to render. They contain NXT parts and look great in MLCAD. But when I use LPub (...) (18 years ago, 17-Mar-07, to lugnet.cad)
