If I had it built in, I'd worry about it. As it is, I use a lot of dialect
when I type anyhoo, usually to relfect the message as being more informal.

Understand. I admit to being very, very bad about this, although I usually
stock the interior after the first level or two of bricks. (This happens
becuase so far, all the building have existed longer than the interiors,
with the exception of the two modular homes.) I believe there is a "sort"
tool in LDAO. Will this do the trick?

Hmm--I still don't see it. Not in my original, nor in the posting, using
Ledit, Ldraw, and LDLite. And not only do I check the angles, but I spin it
180 degrees in LDAO's modeler. What are you using to view the model? I'd
like to recreate the effect.

For some reason, and I can't find the original message, I thought that John
wanted figs generated with LDAO. Maybe it was he didn't want them in LDAO.
I dunno. I'm gonna' work up a minifig shortcut of my own--LDAO doesn't list
all the parts.

Thanks, and I know what I'll be doing for the rest of the CMA's.

| (...) James, did you unpack the .mpd file before viewing in LDraw? The part about people being stuck in the middle of things is a common result of viewing an .mpd file in LDraw, or even LDLite sometimes. Are you really using LDraw to view models? As (...)
