How does LDraw perform with a model that has LOTS of non-orthogonal

[please FUT .cad]

It can be a pain to make multiple angles...just ask Jeremy Sproat, Karim
Nassar, or others...however, it can be done using submodels and patience.

It can also be helpful to use LDLite's block meta-commands, either with or
without submodels.

Specifically, LDLite (and l3p) supports 0 ROTATE, allowing you to easily rotate
around any vector, and 0 TRANSLATE, which allows you to relocate sections after
they've been ROTATEd.

(...) How could I forget? This is especially useful when you have articulated objects attached to objects which rotate themselves, eg, the various joints on an arm of a mech. --Bram Bram Lambrecht / o o \ BramL@juno.com (...) (24 years ago, 23-Feb-00, to lugnet.cad)
