(...) Well, the origin is simply the zero-point X=0;Y=0;Z=0 in all parts, no exceptions. The quads/triangles/line...itives/... are built around that origin. (16 years ago, 25-Mar-09, to lugnet.cad)

It's very impressive that you pulled off a reasonably-precise 3D scanner using LEGO. Don't worry about its speed: all touch/contact scanners are slow. :) (16 years ago, 16-Mar-09, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.robotics)
