(...) Hi Jeremy! Yours was one of the names that I figured just wasn't getting through due to something silly like this. I also figured that you'd come through and approve the new agreement so that the parts you created could continue to be (...) (20 years ago, 19-Feb-05, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) Well I'm now official embarassed. I knew that; really; honest. It's always fun when your users can tell you why your program is behaving in the way it is. Thanks, Orion, for pointing out what I of all people should have seen as obvious. (Just (...) (20 years ago, 21-Feb-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) In order for smoothing to work on parts outside the PARTS and P directories, you need to add the following to the header: 0 Unofficial Part This "turns on" smoothing in LDView. (20 years ago, 21-Feb-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) I'm puzzled, too. Should I follow some convention regarding the order of primitives in the file? My optional lines *are* correct, I have verified that, but even a simple smooth cylinder converted with my program shows up faceted in LDView. (...) (20 years ago, 21-Feb-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)

My converter has undergone a considerable update during the weekend. It is now called "max2dat", because it now handles the 3DS file format as well, and supports the two main export formats from 3dsmax. (The previous "max2dat" utility written in (...) (20 years ago, 21-Feb-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) How far 'percent wise' is the standard library bfc? In about 2 months i'm starting work on a rendering engine for LD4DModeler 2. I was hoping to 'assume' all parts are BFC so I can implement simple lighting. (20 years ago, 19-Feb-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) I don't have a compelling argument for more or less but I think that if you can build the capability for more decimals then you probably should. In my experience if you think that users will get by with less, one will invariably come along (...) (20 years ago, 19-Feb-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)
