| | | (...) Hi Bernd, Thanks for cooking this up, but erm... now I still don't know how it is done. Shure, I'm gonna have a closer look at it but all those disks and rings? I know L3P will replace them with proper POV primitives, but which one does what? (...) (23 years ago, 9-Apr-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

| | | | | (...) The rings aren't actually for POV- they're for LDraw. They are simply sections of 16-sided "curves" (and yes- they are in the "p" directory). The rotation/scaling matrix turns them and scales them up to fit onto the panel's surface. You can do (...) (23 years ago, 9-Apr-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

| | | | | | (...) I don't know if we understand each other. As I understood from de L3P manual, some primitives from the P-dir are substituted by L3P to POV primitives. If you take a look at (URL) (where the new panels are used) you will notice that the circels (...) (23 years ago, 10-Apr-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

| | | | | | (...) I stand corrected- I didn't realize that L3P did that. I just checked through the text file and found the reference to it. So yes, using primitives is a better way to go. Ugh, and now I have to rethink how I lay out some parts, as the (...) (23 years ago, 10-Apr-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

| | | | (...) Hi, I also don't know all of the primitives there are available. I want to make a list with pictures and description. Using the primitives is like using subparts, but with streching them in the right orientation. It's a little bit linear (...) (23 years ago, 10-Apr-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
