(...) Looks like you found another LDView bug ;-). Zoom out and it works fine. It only doesn't work when the control points are clipped by the edge of the window. I'll have to figure out a way to fix that. (...) It's difficult, but by using polling (...) (17 years ago, 13-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Hopefully you have primitive substitution set to two (second notch), since 1 provides 8-sided circular primitives. As for separating the stud logo from the primitive substitution, the logo is an implicit part of the substituted stud. It's not (...) (17 years ago, 13-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Hi Michael, I've just released a new version of BlueBrick that fix the problem for the 4.5V and 12V rails. But you will need to upload some unofficial LDraw parts from the LDRAW.org part tracker, especially the new shortcuts created by Philo (...) (17 years ago, 13-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

I made a quick try - and it doesn't work very well, even when it should (between a cylinder and a cone). Example: (URL) (cedge primitive is here included). Cedge seems to behave correctly on the more sloped cone, but not on the other, it appears (...) (17 years ago, 13-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad)

Hello all, I was wondering if people have some minor suggestions / bug reports for my current LD4DStudio version. Work on the 1.1 version is taking longer than expected so I was planning to release a bugfix only version this month. Any additional (...) (17 years ago, 12-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad)
