  Re: number notation in official parts
 
(...) Such notation is not noted in any specs.. neither allowed or forbidden. At least, I can't find such. Maybe we should bring this up at LSC at some point? (FWIW I sent this in yesterday but it seems the server ate the message.. resending it) (...) (15 years ago, 9-Mar-10, to lugnet.cad.dev)

  number notation in official parts
 
If I rotate a part in LDDP the result may look like this: 1 16 4E-15 4 -20 0 0 1 0 -1 0 -1 0 0 stud4.dat This can be read by LDView and MLCad as a valid number. Is such notation allowed in official parts? It is nowhere explicit allowed or (...) (15 years ago, 8-Mar-10, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Technic Axle Connectors - naming rationalisation
 
(...) It makes sense, and has the benefit of homogeneous naming with cross blocks. Philo (15 years ago, 4-Mar-10, to lugnet.cad)

  Re: 606p01b.dat (Was: LGPL Datsville)
 
(...) Maybe we can replace them after all. Look at this picture: (URL) orange poles indicate the occurances of x606p01b.dat. They are all in undeveloped areas, so I think it's possible to replace them with other roadplates. /Tore (15 years ago, 3-Mar-10, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: 2010/2011 LDraw.org Steering Committee: Voting and results
 
(...) Yes, you are right! cu mikeheide (15 years ago, 3-Mar-10, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw, FTX)
 
  Re: 2010/2011 LDraw.org Steering Committee: Voting and results
 
(...) Actually, that says that the election must happen by 01 March, and new Steering Committee members become active 30 days later. So I guess 31 March is the official start date. --Travis (15 years ago, 2-Mar-10, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw, FTX)
 
  Re: 2010/2011 LDraw.org Steering Committee: Voting and results
 
(...) According to (URL) we start on 01.03.2010 IMHO. Congratulations to all of you. cu mikeheide (15 years ago, 2-Mar-10, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw, FTX)

  Re: example texture files
 
(...) LDVLib doesn't allow you to edit models at all. You point it at an existing file and tell it to load. Having said that, if you wanted to do some (most?) of the work, it could probably be made to be usable for a minifig modeler, since (...) (15 years ago, 2-Mar-10, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

  2010/2011 LDraw.org Steering Committee: Voting and results
 
As only (URL) five people have accepted> nomination for a position on the 2010/2011 LDraw SteerCo and the SteerCo only has five positions I think we can dispense with voting. The new LDraw SteerCo for 2010/2011 is thus: Kevin Clague, Travis Cobbs, (...) (15 years ago, 2-Mar-10, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw, lugnet.cad, FTX)
