(...) Steve, Thanks for using LDDP. My question is: are you using the bendible objects generator plugin? If not which version of LDDP are you running? -Orion (20 years ago, 7-Apr-04, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) You're right it is incorporated. I just wanted to make sure you were using the most current version instead of v1.4 with the plugin that's installed from the "Virtual Lego" book CD.

(...) I'm pretty sure there are lots of programs distributed with a bunch of standard plugins. Maybe you should consider distributing several standard plugins with LDDPinstall.exe, or perhaps make a plugin bundle with everything, or is that what the (...)
