(...) So, tried to do a fresh install of more than just LSynth, and it now works like a charm! It helped to have the newest MLCAD *blush*. No idea on how I managed to still have 3.11 installed. Sorry guys! Cheers, Matija (16 years ago, 26-Mar-09, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Origin of all parts is x=0,y=0,z=0. Where this origin is placed at the part is different. Y-Direction: If the part have studs, then the y=0 is the surface below the studs. If the part has no studs, then it should be at the top of the part, or (...) (16 years ago, 25-Mar-09, to lugnet.cad)

(...) 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)
