  Re: Colinear Vertices
 
(...) No, I just take the cross product, and if the length (squared) is 0, I give an error. I don't see how normalizing the length of the two vectors that I feed into the cross product would improve things much here. Sure, it might mean that my (...) (16 years ago, 9-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: SR 3D Builder version 3.2.2.3 just released
 
(...) Wow! Very impressive! I will definitely have to try it out. A couple of questions: are MLCAD's keyboard controls supported? Can I export back into LDR/MPD format? What does the model tree look like? -Mike (16 years ago, 9-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Colinear Vertices
 
--snip-- (...) I assume that you divide by the vector lengths first (as in normalise them before taking the cross-product) but if you don't then you should. Tim (16 years ago, 9-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Colinear Vertices
 
(...) If they're on a curved surface, you'll get higher quality out of LDView half the time if you split them into triangles. (I say half the time, because OpenGL splits them into triangles in order to render them, and half the time they'll be split (...) (16 years ago, 9-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Colinear Vertices
 
(...) As far as I can see the threshold is the number of digits that are used to determine wheather a value is the same as the other. So if you use 6.0 and 6.0001 with a threshold of 0.0001 the value are interpreted to be the same. That makes sense (...) (16 years ago, 9-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Opinions needed for Color and Edge Values
 
(...) Good timing on your response. We are going through the transparent colors now. I also agree that the transparent colors look washed out. I believe that the RGB values are how they would appear on a white background, but they do not render well (...) (16 years ago, 9-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad)

  Re: LDraw.org's November 2008 Part of the Month Winner
 
(...) Thanks, Joshua! I just hope to have more competition, from as many contestants as possible ;o) Philo (16 years ago, 9-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw, FTX)
 
  Colinear Vertices
 
I am struggling to improve Intersector that sometimes creates quads with _almost_ colinear vertices. An obvious solution is to split quads into two triangles, but this increase size of generated file. Converted the quad into a single triangle by (...) (16 years ago, 9-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Opinions needed for Color and Edge Values
 
(...) Are we sure about the RGB values for the transparent colours? They look awfully washed-out to me :-( TrDkBlue in particular looks more like TrLtBlue. Alex (16 years ago, 9-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad)
