(...) So nice to hear that, and I actually care quite a lot! I have used Lego quite a lot myself to teach computer graphics. Not CAD as such, but 3D modeling, animation and programming.

Many thanks. If you need any help with it, just ask, and I'll try and reply with concise instructions. One of the biggest problems I find in writing instructions is what to include - too little, and you can't get started, too much and you drown in (...)

Dear William, I am surprised that none other has replied to this piece of work! Perhaps it is too difficult to understand how to even get it installed. However, I have succesfully got it to work quite easily. I am giving it a thorough look now and (...) (20 years ago, 7-Mar-05, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dat.parts, lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Hi Stefan, While I think my opinion on this is well known, I'll answer your call for responses here.. I agree that AFOL don't "need" high-end tools for parts-authoring.. Any way to incorporate a graphical interface into the process would be a (...) (20 years ago, 6-Mar-05, to lugnet.cad.dev, FTX)

(...) Indeed, thanks for reading! :) Blender is a good modeling and animation tool, but last time I checked I found the vertex and triangle tools unwieldy, so it was not very useful for detailed low-poly editing. I should check back on it, though, (...) (20 years ago, 6-Mar-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)

As some of you might have seen, I have been doing some programming lately to convert various 3D file formats to DAT format. This resulted in the MAX2DAT converter, which is useful but does not handle primitives, and is limited to the file formats (...) (20 years ago, 5-Mar-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)
