I thought about a tool to easily author patterned parts.
It should be used like quad2dat but with the following change:
If a part is scanned with a scanner and the part is not flat it should
be able to use the curvature of the part (that already has to exist as a
LDraw part) to make a parallel projection onto that curvature.
(sorry for my bad english).
Is anybody able to make such a tool?
