Hi Dave,

check out the LDraw Specs 1.0.0 at:

http://www.ldraw.org/Article218.html#ldu

An easy way to convert mm in LDUs is Mike Heidemann's prog LDCalc:

Don't miss Marc Klein's website for modeling tips in SW as well as converting SW
data into .dat:

Hope this helps.

Hello all, I have been playing around some Cad software called SolidWorks and would like to model LEGO bricks. Is there a resource for accurate dimensions of LEGO parts? Dave (16 years ago, 22-May-09, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
