In case anyone out there uses Rhino and want to model parts here's the rough specs: 20 Rhino units = 1 Lego width (i.e. the width of a 1x1 block) 24 Rhino units = 1 Lego height 12 Rhino units = 1 stud diameter 4 Rhino units = 1 stud hieght (24 years ago, 27-Feb-01, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) I made the wheel for this model: (URL) was also another person who posted a different version of the same wheel in the cad.parts group fairly recently, so I didn't bother to register my part in the tracker. Fredrik (24 years ago, 26-Feb-01, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) Thanks! I'd say, though, that the instruction on my site are probably aimed at the wrong crowd. I should probably rewrite it all with users who are new to Emacs in mind. I can't promise to do this anytime soon, but it's on my TODO-list. In the (...) (24 years ago, 26-Feb-01, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) Don't worry about that detail -- the LDraw standard is to model all stud3 objects as solid. Steve (24 years ago, 26-Feb-01, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) awhile ago? Or maybe it was Fredrick... It seems like maybe the file wasn't posted on lugnet for some reason, so you might have to search for messages talking about the part, and see if you can get a link offsite. Steve (24 years ago, 26-Feb-01, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

I highly recommend Fredrik's LDraw-Mode. It will take you a little while to find the Emacs stuff and install it, plus some time to figure out how to bend stuff. But once you make the initial investment it is very easy to create wonderful curving (...) (24 years ago, 26-Feb-01, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) I don't know Rhino, but what I can say stl2dat can handle ascii and binary stl format. If Rhino can only produce stl data in the positive quadrant, stl2dat can change the origin in the dat file with the -o x y z option. The most tricky point (...)

(...) It's generally quite difficult to model the flexible elements. I've made major mode for Emacs (an editor) which adds functions to model some bent elements. Take a look at some tutorials here: (URL) included some instructions as to how to (...) (24 years ago, 26-Feb-01, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

If you feel brave, you could also try to add conditional edge lines along the cat, but I (...) (24 years ago, 26-Feb-01, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
