(...) I hate to bring this up, but I've noticed some of the Mac related questions I get may be because the tutorials are all MLCad specific. Is it possible to include information on that page how to do it on Mac with Bricksmith? There is something (...) (17 years ago, 3-May-07, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) I wouldn't call loading LPub to make an MPD the easy way. The easy way is to use the menus in MLCad. The article is most certainly out of date. (...) But we don't learn how an MS Word document is formatted before using a word processor. (...) (17 years ago, 3-May-07, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) It does show the "easy" way as well: (URL) reason the EASY way is not shown first is becuase users should learn the THEORY behind what they are doing rather than just learning how to do it. Eg. You can use a calculator to do multiplication. (...) (17 years ago, 3-May-07, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) Any reason why we'd want that instead of just wiki.ldraw.org, or ldraw.org/wiki/? Dan (17 years ago, 2-May-07, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) The LDraw POV project ((URL) was created with the intention of someday becoming the de-facto, if not the actual, official LDraw compatible POV repository. I'll admit that it has languished for sometime (it's been almost 4 years sine I (...) (17 years ago, 2-May-07, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) It doesn't really gain you much if you are just converting the LDraw parts directly - l3p does that just fine, and fairly fast. The only advantage of a POV-ray library is when you start adding POV-ray specific stuff, eg: replace the curve (...) (17 years ago, 1-May-07, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) I'd see it as a side-wiki probably. Move as much content as people are willing to open source across but keep the best articles fixed on ldraw.org.

(...) Hmm - an ldraw wiki? That's a good idea, and it's not hard. For example you could sign up for a wiki on pbwiki.com (ldraw.pbwiki.com is available) and we can transfer the existing content there and move the links on the existing site to point (...)
