(...) Oh Joe, what a can of worms that is. You're absolutely right that POV-Ray is useless for instructions. It's very nice for the picture on the front of the box, but it doesn't outline edges. The good news is that there is a solution. The (...) (19 years ago, 28-Aug-05, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac, FTX)

(...) Thank you for the compliments, Andrew. I've admired Mac Brick CAD for a long time, and I'm impressed by all the work you've put into behind-the-scenes operation. I do Cocoa programming at work, but I have no professional experience with (...) (19 years ago, 28-Aug-05, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac, FTX)

(...) Mac OS X is case-insensitive. It is possible to get a case-sensitive file system, but the user would have to know what they are doing and many things would break. I remember some old LDraw apps being written case senstive so that if it was one (...) (19 years ago, 27-Aug-05, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)

(...) I don't have a Mac, but if your file system is case sensitive (like most Unix file systems are), then that might be the cause of the problem. LDraw files assume a case-insensitive file system, or an application that's smart enough to deal with (...) (19 years ago, 27-Aug-05, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)

(...) If you ever get ambitious, LDView has automatic tiling support built in to generate images of arbitrary size. You can take a look at my tiling code (although it's pretty spread out, which might make it difficult to track down all of it). (...) (19 years ago, 27-Aug-05, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac, FTX)

(...) Should be pretty close, they share the same codebase. However I think some opengl implementations may limit your canvas to a bit less than infinite for ldglite. I think you get pretty good antialiasing just by scaling by 2 or 3. Here are some (...) (19 years ago, 27-Aug-05, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac, FTX)
