Tore, if you could create a tutorial while you're working on it on "How to
Build Datsville", it might make a good addition to the reference section of
ldraw.org. Anyway, it would give some information for people to chew on.
Slap some screenshots on there as your work progresses.
A short animation of "Datsville" in the making, maybe. I love those
time-lapse movies :)

| (...) I will - when I have figured it out myself! :o/ (...) Animations of Datsville is currently my overall objective with my all parallell LCad projects, and what keeps my going on! Didn't think of time-lapse, but that's a lovely idea! /Tore (24 years ago, 17-Aug-01, to lugnet.cad)
