  Re: LDView 3.1 on Mac OS X!
 
(...) Wow! That's great news. Indeed, I wasn't aware that an up-to-date Mac version was in the works. (...) Making it universal with no dependencies is great - that will make it easily accessible to a lot more people than if prerequisites like Boost (...)

  Re: LDView 3.1 on Mac OS X!
 
It looks similar to Jim's (with a different model), but here's a screenshot: (URL) It appears that we compiled with different versions of QT; Jim's border around the graphics area is different, as is the toolbar area. I didn't mention it in my (...) (18 years ago, 19-Feb-07, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac, FTX)
 
  Re: LDView 3.1 on Mac OS X!
 
Thanks for doing that, Jim. Just as a note, the latest development code compiles and runs on Mac OS X without modification, and LDView 3.2 will have an official Mac Universal Binary version (although it might labeled as Beta).

  Accountability of "Key Positions": Call for Public Discussion and Consensus
 
Hi folks, We know that you would prefer reading about new parts updates announcements instead of politics and bureaucratics, but unfortunately those things also have to be done and decided on in order to ensure the smooth running of LDraw.org. As (...) (18 years ago, 18-Feb-07, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw, lugnet.announce) !

I've been using (URL) Bricksmith> quite regularly recently (it's a great program, Allen).

  Re: Alternate 6208 B-Wing Escort Fighter

I enjoy recording models in LDraw after I've made them because the process of methodically disassembling and reassembling them for input is very different from the casual way I initially build them.

  Re: Alternate 6208 B-Wing Escort Fighter
 
(...) Yeah, your default settings tend to hide certain surface flaws. Your light source (where is it by the way?) and smooth shading are as effective as dim lighting and heavy makeup. Perhaps not the best thing for a parts designer to be using. But (...) (18 years ago, 8-Feb-07, to lugnet.cad.dev, FTX)
