 | | Stl2dat merging plane triangles and quads to uniform surface?
|
|
Hi Marc, authoring this part (URL) tried to simulate LDraw's "ndis" primitives to ease the substitution once the part is in dat shape. The STL preview showed the triangles at the corners of the various cylinders but it looks like STL2DAT merges (...) (18 years ago, 20-Jun-08, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Hi Jaco, That problem sounds familiar. I reported the same thing, and Kevin fixed the bug. Perhaps it was only fixed on the Mac side, or maybe you have a slightly older version of LPub? In any case, I just set 11 for width and 8.5 for height (...) (18 years ago, 20-Jun-08, to lugnet.cad)

(...) I would agree.

Hey Kevin, First impression is great! It works really smooth. I've a few questions though: *When I change the scale, it changes the 'zoom' of the step image, but not the dimensions. I've looked in all the settings dialogues but I can't seem to make (...) (18 years ago, 19-Jun-08, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Well :-) The short answer is that I was using 606p02 as a reference, and it has edge-lines... I have now been made aware that this wasn't the best example I could have picked :-D Anyway...I'm about to start an overhaul of all the 32x32 (...)

(...) I think we do not need to specify the use of edgelines more than we have done, if everybody knows what edgelines are and that in some cases they are not shown in pictures/renderings. So they should be as nature only on edges. If there are (...) (18 years ago, 17-Jun-08, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, lugnet.cad)

Hi guys, I thought we had specs for almost everything, but I was proven wrong. Looking at this pattern (URL) see 24colored edges around the pattern. I was going to hold vote it, since I never "edged" a pattern - and I made a lot of them in my career (...) (18 years ago, 17-Jun-08, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, lugnet.cad)
