If there is an origin point specified in LDRAW part files, I would like to know what is needed in order to calculate it's position and alignment to the x, y, z coordinate system LDRAW uses. Can anyone point me to where I can find information that (...) (17 years ago, 25-Mar-09, to lugnet.cad)

I'm trying to create an LDraw description of a construction with a large number of Pneumatic elements. Using complete cylinders (either extended or retracted) or switches (neutral position) will make creating the file very hard and may not always be (...) (17 years ago, 21-Mar-09, to lugnet.cad)

It's very impressive that you pulled off a reasonably-precise 3D scanner using LEGO. Don't worry about its speed: all touch/contact scanners are slow. :) (17 years ago, 16-Mar-09, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.robotics)
