 | | Anyone working on monorail tracks? —Niels Bugge
|
| | | Hi, I was just wondering if anyone is working on the two monorail ramp pieces? The 2677 (URL) and 2678 (URL) I'm going to need them shortly because the project I'm working on is rather big and bendy at the moment, and I'd really like to use MLCad as (...)

| | | | | | (...) Hello Niels, sorry but I think there is nobody who has made this part. An I, as the author of the other tracks, have no time for the next months to make them. Maybe there is somebody else who could create a Mock-up. CU Bernd (19 years ago, 1-Oct-05, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

| | | | Can't get to peeron right now (is it down?). If you can send me a jpg of the parts I can tell you if my students could make them for you. Darrell (19 years ago, 3-Oct-05, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, FTX)

|
| | | | (...) Ahh, it's up for me now. From the pics the parts don't look too hard; I have no idea what the real parts look like so I don't know what's underneath.. Perhaps that's not important for your application though? What I would need is a detailed (...) (19 years ago, 3-Oct-05, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, FTX)

Well, I'm actually using the part upside down because I like the industrial look of the girders... but for the building/recording (...) (19 years ago, 10-Oct-05, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, FTX)

If you do, you could scan it and send me the digital file - that would actually be better than an oblique photograph. I can then import the image file into (...)

(I think I can go up to 1200x1200 dpi without crashing the computer) Regarding the underside structure, the sides are completely (...)

Also remember to include something in the scan that I can use for reference - I can't remember (...) (19 years ago, 19-Oct-05, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

| | | | I did some scans in 100dpi yesterday, and am making a combined picture of each part with comments. I will be making a special scan for the curve in a higher reslolution afterwards. Cheers NB (19 years ago, 20-Oct-05, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

| | | | Thanks for that, I'll see what my students can do. Couple of questions/comments: The info scans are great because they show how the parts go together, as well as the undersides.. Unfortunately they're not so good for measuring because the extra (...) (19 years ago, 21-Oct-05, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, FTX)

The distribution of the framework is excactly the same (...) (19 years ago, 24-Oct-05, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, FTX)

| | | | (...) Well, we traced over them today and the two parts do not match each other (i.e. they have slightly different radii and are not complimentary/mirror images of one another). Maybe this is true, but I suspect it's just the angle of the part in (...) (19 years ago, 25-Oct-05, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, FTX)
