    Another request to LDlite programmers... —Karim Nassar
    Hi all, Sorry to continually harp on this, but if Paul, or anyone else who is currently "into" the LDlite code would look into a feature implementation, I would be forever greatful. The current version of LDlite has a feature "rotate model after (...) (25 years ago, 7-Mar-00, to lugnet.cad)
   
        Re: Another request to LDlite programmers... —Michael Lachmann
     You could use MLCad for this feature. The program supports so called RotationSteps which rotate the model and stop drawing (or generate a picture). To make a rotating model, you have to append several rotation steps at the end of the dat file and (...) (25 years ago, 7-Mar-00, to lugnet.cad)
    
         Re: Another request to LDlite programmers... —Karim Nassar
     (...) Well, I can also do this using LDAO & LDlite, and just as manually. The reason I'm asking someone to modify the LDLite code is because I want an automated way to do this, and it seems that LDLite is 75% there already. Automated, because I've (...)

         Re: Another request to LDlite programmers... —Karim Nassar
     (...) Pretty cool, Paul! What kind of interface does FVR use for compiling the VR array? What sorts of images can one input? Tell me, tell me! :) I'm also using Alias Studio for a lot of my design work, and I'll probably be making ample use of *VR (...) (25 years ago, 8-Mar-00, to lugnet.cad)
   
        Re: Another request to LDlite programmers... —Steve Bliss
   In lugnet.cad, Karim wrote some words, asking for LDLite to combine -MS and -T options. This isn't a fix to LDLite, but I put together a utility to run a model through LDLite 36 times, rotating the view around Y by 10 degrees each time. The bitmap (...)

         Re: Another request to LDlite programmers... —Don Heyse
     (...) Rats! I just added this feature to LdGLite in the hopes of snagging another beta tester. If this makes it any more tempting, LdGLite now saves png files (which are significantly smaller than bmp files but still keep the full 24 bits of color (...)

         Re: Another request to LDlite programmers... —Karim Nassar
     (...) Whuups! No, you are right... I meant that I wanted a series of rotated images... I would be happy to try out ldglite... what makes it different from LDlite? What requirements? --Karim (25 years ago, 8-Mar-00, to lugnet.cad)
    
         Re: Another request to LDlite programmers... —Don Heyse
     (...) Well, actually it IS LdLite. I just pasted in an OpenGL renderer to make it portable to other operating systems. This means it requires OpenGl DLLs for windows, but I think you can get them at the LdGLite web site. And to be honest, LdGlite is (...) (25 years ago, 8-Mar-00, to lugnet.cad)

   (...) Wow, that's Bizarre. There's nothing wrong with the HTML being emitted by the web interface, so the only thing I can think of is that Yahoo! is looking at the HTTP_REFERER and denying direct links to .bin files...? --Todd (25 years ago, 8-Mar-00, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.admin.general)

   (...) heheh. that's almost the exact situation we have here. 486/25 running RH6.0 (6.1 won't install, didn't have time to get it to yet), compared to PIII/500 running win95... I can't say the linux is faster, at least not in X :P At work, however, (...) (25 years ago, 8-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

        Re: Another request to LDlite programmers... —Matthew Miller
   (...) I think that they have in fact removed a few things from the 6.1 installl disk (it's a pretty tight squeeze), but it shouldn't have been anything remotely mainstream. In my (humble, of course) opinion, the 6.1/6.2 installer is terribly broken. (...) (25 years ago, 8-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
