|
|
(...) Two quick things spring to mind... One is adding on the Deletion of objects for Powerbook users, right now we need to keep the Fn-key pressed down in order to be able to delete a selected piece. Perhaps you could map the Backspace key as well (...) (21 years ago, 31-Mar-04, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac, FTX)

Great stuff Jim, where possible I'll answer interspersed with your comments (...) I've noticed this too on some bricks. It has to do with the fact that some parts use negative scaling when drawing some primitives. Both OpenGL and LDRAW can handle (...) (21 years ago, 30-Mar-04, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac, FTX)

(...) ... I was high that day? ... no, that seems pretty unlikely ... I think these should all be changed. Some/most would probably be candidates for the special STUD.DAT notation (ie, all caps), to signify no stud-as-line rendering. Steve (21 years ago, 30-Mar-04, to lugnet.cad.dev)

Hi Andrew, I've been occupied lately but I was finally able to test drive 2.2b1 for many hours this past week. So, weighing in again... I'm absolutely enjoying MBC!... most especially now that I understand what you were saying about moving the field (...) (21 years ago, 30-Mar-04, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac, FTX)

(...) I came up with another solution for the two common color variants issue, without having four complete/shortcuts: Create the shortcuts without the baseplate, as the other parts share the same color. (all blue or all red) Thus having three (...) (21 years ago, 28-Mar-04, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) primitives. Maybe the authors (Matt Schild, Franklin Cain, Steve Bliss) could comment. Rather than 3626bp00, which is not an official part, I think you mean s/3626bs00 which does have an inlined stud. I think this should be fixed too. Chris (21 years ago, 27-Mar-04, to lugnet.cad.dev)

I'm in the process of updating my LDList program, including stud count as a searchable parameter. During tests I have found a couple of parts that have studs, but are not using any STUD primitive, and for this reason LDList cannot find them :-( At (...) (21 years ago, 26-Mar-04, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) The idea was to make it simple for ordinary usage. I guess most programs would call LDrawIniComputeRealDirs() with IncludeSkipDirs=0 and simply search the dirs returned. However, you can call LDrawIniComputeRealDirs with IncludeSkipDirs=1 and (...) (21 years ago, 23-Mar-04, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Good point. That's why originally I was envisioning something like LDViewer running on a server with all the stuff it needs right there (so no installation is needed). Actually, maybe...I'll have to play with it later. In regards to Java, (...) (21 years ago, 23-Mar-04, to lugnet.cad.dev, FTX)
