If you were to create a computer simulation of a globe completely made of Legp with cities on it and everything, how would you overcome the limitation imposed by the fact that you can't tile squares across the surface of the globe? Are there (...) (14 years ago, 28-Mar-11, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Hey, I really like the idea of new line types and I made a little experiment. Not for curves, discs, spheres, cylinders, rings, cones and torii, but for gradient brushes. LDraw lives in a (linear) text based vector world. And when I zoom in, I (...) (14 years ago, 29-Mar-11, to lugnet.cad) !

(...) Just a thought, but you could also utilize new sub directories e.g. 1 16 ......... ring\5-24-24.dat or even 1 16 ......... ring\24\5-24.dat This should work on existing software cause 48\ or s\ are already in use, so most software should be (...) (14 years ago, 28-Mar-11, to lugnet.cad)

(...) As long as you provide parts authors with a cheat sheet, this should work too. Regardless, the naming scheme should be according to a regular system. -Mike (14 years ago, 28-Mar-11, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Something to keep in mind: I think you should pad leading zeros. I.e. turn "4" into "04". Doing so makes it possible to sort files by name in a file manager. -Mike (14 years ago, 28-Mar-11, to lugnet.cad)

I think it would be cool to be able to set/input camera parameters directly. Currently, you can only export them to POV-Ray. It would be nice to be able to set them as well to get a sort of preview before a final render. I also think it would be (...) (14 years ago, 28-Mar-11, to lugnet.cad.dev)

It would be cool if we had an LDraw equivalent of the MakeHuman project. I.e. a 3D model of a minifig that is compatible with LDRaw and can be deformed in external tools such as Blender in the same way that lots of TLG animations "cheat" by bending (...) (14 years ago, 27-Mar-11, to lugnet.cad)

I am not a Bricksmith user, so there may be issues I don't know, but 60481 is an official part included in library, so you don't have to download it individually (I suspect you didn't download it's subpart 60481s01.dat, or placed it in the wrong (...)
