| | Mac Brick CAD (cocoa version) - New Development Release
|
|
Mac Brick CAD (MBC) in cocoa - formally known as Mac Lego Modeller. After some delay, here is an update to my Cocoa release. As before, this is for test pilots and lacks lots of features (use the Carbon/Classic versions for better features) But that (...) (21 years ago, 23-May-03, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)

|

(...) For parts with unusual symmetries, I would suggest either (or both): 1. Make a subfile in parts\s with 1 segment of the part, then use that subfile as many times as you need. 2. Find a higher-level symmetry that is common with 16 or 48 (...) (21 years ago, 23-May-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) MBC doesn't know where your LDRAW directory is, so you are only seeing the parts that are internal to MBC. Get the LDRAW directory like James said, then throw away all of your preference files that have anything to do with LDRAWing (...) (21 years ago, 23-May-03, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)

What is the general way of handling parts/primitives that have rotational symmetries other than 16 and 48? I am currently looking at reworking 73071 (the old Technic Differential), which has a rotational symmetry of 28, and 3649 (Technic Gear 40 (...) (21 years ago, 22-May-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)

In reading past posts, it seems that putting in optional lines is encouraged, but I have not been able to find any information on the proper way of using them. First, clearly I use them on outside curves, but I was not able to determine definitively (...) (21 years ago, 21-May-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)
