Some further progress. It turns out that I was able to convert a .DAT file to .STL with LDView & import it into SolidWorks, but it further turned out that, once I'd imported an .STL file into SolidWorks, I couldn't do very much with it. I can't mate (...) (13 years ago, 25-Oct-11, to lugnet.cad)

A third revision is up. The main highlight is that there is now stuff to visit across the river, as well as two bridges connecting to there! Also, I added short text descriptions to the file names so you can tell the models apart. (13 years ago, 25-Sep-11, to lugnet.cad.dat.models)
