For various reasons, I've been attempting to extract a vector line drawing of a large LDraw model. On the surface, this would seem simple (which is always the case for the hardest projects). LDraw itself is a vector format. Each edge line is defined (...) (14 years ago, 23-May-11, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

Has anyone modeled a bit of flex tubing that has beveled ends? I think I know what I need to do to model it but actually doing it may be beyond my patience, (but maybe I'm using the wrong tool, working with quads in MLCad is a bit hard) Thanks. (14 years ago, 23-May-11, to lugnet.cad)

Hi all, I'm going to be working on the website over the next few weeks. I suck at graphic design, I think this is a perfect to solicit ideas/designs for the website theme. No coding experience is required. I can handle that aspect if needed. -Orion (14 years ago, 22-May-11, to lugnet.cad)
