Dan -
Great start! Thanks for posting this.
A couple very quick observations:
- I think you have the arrow keys backwards - Assuming a standard LDraw 3D
view with the X axis going down to the right, and the Z axis going up to the
right, Up/Down keys should move +/- Z, and Left/Right keys should move -/+
X, respectively.
- Do you support LEdit key commands? The original LDraw users are very tied
to these commands, and though it's legacy, I think they're important.
- I can't help but mentioning Artemis for the interface design. See this
site, I think it's a _very_ useful design study for a future LEGO CAD tool,
and would love to see some of it's ideas realized.

Keep up the good work!
