I'm curious how this works (if it's true). Are you guys modeling in
commercial 3D software and then using some level of FEA to write the code? Even
if it's just measuring faces and listing coordinates? Having never been a
"traditional" LDraw author I wouldn't know.

How much of authoring is conceptual sketching/trial&error in MLCAD and how much
is real time 3D modeling?

Most of my part-authoring time is spent in a text editor.  Sometimes I
use a spreadsheet. :)

Frankly, I can't imagine coding parts in MLCAD.  Too much clicking in
and out of dialogs.

(...) I use LDesignPad a little but the great thing about using MLCad is that it does all the rotation calculations for me. -Orion (21 years ago, 26-Feb-03, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev)
