Hi, Again, while doing these parts for LGEO, I discovered the exhaust pipes old 71137 and new (with Pin) x855 (unoffical by GuyVivan) to be misaligned.

It has been over two years since the last LDraw parts update. Where the heck are the new ones? Are we just letting LDraw die? It is really seeming that way. Yes, I’ve read the ‘Lack of Parts Updates’ article. I read it over a year ago. And as far as (...) (17 years ago, 21-Feb-08, to lugnet.cad)

Hello Tore, You are right, I should look more closely at LDraw script. Certainly a flexible tool... Would you already have a utility that converts a ldraw file (say with a path of lines) into a set of points coordinates usable by LDS? Philo (17 years ago, 14-Feb-08, to lugnet.cad.dev)
