(...) Thanks! Automatically adding road signs, street lamps, etc., would be nice. Also, IIRC, someone wrote a utility for creating LDraw bridges. But I am busy with other things right now and will have to get back to it later. -Mike (16 years ago, 6-Jul-08, to lugnet.cad.ray, FTX)

Hi all, I just finished a crude first version of a Blender to Ldraw export script! It's mostly a tweaked version of a tutorial script, but for someone whose brain starts melting whenever I look at code, I'm quite proud. This first version just spits (...)
