(...) There is a problem with all email to the adresses that ends with ldraw.org. I also do not know exactly what is the problem, but it seems to be bigger because it is still not fixed. (16 years ago, 26-Jan-09, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) If I have such a problem I use those primitives that are not presently available in the main file, while the other stuff goes into the subfile that I then use several times. cu mikeheide (16 years ago, 26-Jan-09, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)

I've got a little little problem with primitives. I'm working on the 61808.dat file (I guess I'll do it with 61811.dat parallel...), and to ease it up and to save disk space the file will be in four quarters. So, to have such things, you inevitably (...) (16 years ago, 26-Jan-09, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)

Hi all (and especially Chris Dee), I find the inconsistency in the naming of liftarms in LDraw to be quite frustrating and was wondering whether or not it would be worth setting a standard name class and sticking to it. Here's a sample list: Technic (...) (16 years ago, 20-Jan-09, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) For sure it would be best to get a file format closer from the original design (.stl for example), to be able to tweak stl2dat parameters for better results. Or to create directly POV versions... Philo (16 years ago, 23-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

I'm curious as to what the differences between the format they submitted them to you are? For instance, do the models you've received have surface normals? -Mike (16 years ago, 21-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
