I have improved my (URL) Coverer> utility: Corrected a bug that sometimes created an extraneous - and wrong - conditional line. Added -b bias parameter The bias parameter allows to control how the surface spreads on the two support lines. For (...) (16 years ago, 8-Jul-08, to lugnet.cad.dev, FTX) !

I measured the Wagon Cover with a caliper rule (as I always do) and 0.4 mm seamed to me much more appropriate than 0.2 mm. (...) IMHO a flat (...)

(...) Yeah, MLCad has rendering problems at 0.5LDU. Oddly, it seems to be able to cope with a 0.25LDU thick sticker. Alex (16 years ago, 7-Jul-08, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

| | Re: Library Specifications for Canvas Parts

(...) A note on the thickness. If the part is BFC'd, then in theory there is no minimum thickness that is required to prevent rendering artifacts. In reality, you'll get artifacts on renderers that don't have BFC support if you go too thin. If (...) (16 years ago, 7-Jul-08, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

So...I'm working on the two tepee covers (this is gonna take a while... :-) and: - 'Cloth' (Peeron) or 'Canvas' (Bricklink) ? - thickness: 1LDU looks too thick to me. Have we settled on this, or is it still up for grabs? I'm trying 0.5LDU right now, (...) (16 years ago, 7-Jul-08, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) 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)

| | Blender to LDraw exporter

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 (...)

(...) I thought more about that. Maybe the most effective way would be to keep these tools outside MLCad, but bring support with two new MLCad possibilities: - Save a selection - Insert a file. This way, you could visually select elements to process (...) (16 years ago, 6-Jul-08, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.cad.mlcad)

(...) Hi Richie, being also one of LDraw's treasurer I double checked Tim's bookkeeping. His statement on LDraw's credit entry is not entirely correct. It is not a "long series of zeroes" but exactly: 0.-- USD or 0,-- Euro. Also the figures on the (...) (16 years ago, 5-Jul-08, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
