I looked around and could not find myself an answer to this question.
Please forgive me if I have missed something obvious.

Is it possible to bring a full model into ldraw and then explode it back
into the pieces that form it?  I am trying to build a house in a cad program
(MLCad 1.4) and would think that once I get 2 courses of bricks down, it
would be efficient to insert the the same model (renamed of course) into my
2 courses model,position it, 'explode' the model and PRESTO! I have 4
courses built ready to go to 6, swap out some bricks for doors and windows
then continue on to the roof.

If there is a way to do this, I would certainly love to know about it.

Build On!

(...) LDraw Add-On has an inlining tool. This does the 'exploding' part of what you want. It replaces a submodel with the actual parts from the submodel. Steve LDraw Add-On is at: (URL) (25 years ago, 10-Sep-99, to lugnet.cad)
