OK, I see the problem.

I think I'd rather treat Modulex as a separate building medium -
effectively a separate CAD parts library, as other have done for
K'Nex. By scaling as Tore suggests, all the the existing drawing and
rendering tools should work well, without having do deal with
fractional positions, just by changing the LDRAWPATH. That just leave
the parts authors to deal with the scaling issue, rather than forcing
it upon the users.

This is a good idea. So I would agree with that.

(...) I'm inclined to agree, as I have been struggling with this conceptual problem, since borrowing a selection of Modulex with the intention of authoring some parts for LDraw. Are there any Modulex parts that _do_ actually bind with regular LEGO? (...) (21 years ago, 19-Feb-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
