It is not a short video, but it shows the whole process from start to finish. Watching it has already given me a few ideas (...)

|
|
Hello all, I am currently working on a mosaic using nothing but 1x1 bricks. My problem is that the its over 13000 bricks. This seems to really cause problems with the speed of LDD. I am using a Macintosh PowerBook 1.67 with a gig of ram. It was (...) (17 years ago, 16-Aug-07, to lugnet.cad.ldd, FTX)

(...) Ok, thanks guys. As I've looked into logistics in other areas (would people even be interested in buying prints/cards/etc. of LDraw scenes? I have a feeling it would be difficult to turn any kind of profit with this.) I'm not sure how far I'll (...) (17 years ago, 14-Aug-07, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

I'm interested in selling prints of renders I've made of LDraw scenes. The way I interpret the terms of service, it appears that this is fine, but I wanted to check here to make sure I haven't missed anything. Is there any precedent for this and is (...) (17 years ago, 12-Aug-07, to lugnet.cad)

Brickstore can already export wanted list and inventory XML files ready for importing into Bricklink, it does the conversion between Ldraw and Bricklink colour codes when you import the Ldraw file.

I just saw the thread "MPD to LDR converter?" ((URL) and thought about what Joel Hoornbeek wrote. If I have an MPD File with many of submodels that are used in the main model, I only have to 1) export that main model 2) open that new file with MLCad (...) (17 years ago, 9-Aug-07, to lugnet.cad)
