I finally got everything running on my system again... I'm using the new L3Pb version, and I've noticed that on the bounding box line I sometimes get a lot of extranous crap on the line which causes POV to choke... it does a line wrap.. I can delete (...) (25 years ago, 1-May-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) First thing, you have to get LDraw. It is freely available: (URL) is quite a bit to download there, and you will need to make sure you get all required files. If you have a computer *faster* than 200mhz, you will need to run a patch on the (...) (25 years ago, 1-May-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Yup, I think that's the right idea*. Models can be posted to the groups and links can be made from outside the groups into the data inside the groups, and that's how the true repository can be built.

!!Additional Notes!! 1. VECCheck will leave two DOS windows hanging out. You should be able to safely close these. 2. The final two reported items, Outdated Parts and Outdated VEC, will always be reported as true. You can't check these, sorry. Steve (...) (25 years ago, 30-Apr-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

Hi all LDAO users! I'm working on some new stuff for LDAO (usually true), and I need to know how well it runs on other people's machines (since I'm told not everyone has a PII-450 with 128MB). I've put together small test program for everyone to run (...) (25 years ago, 30-Apr-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

I have not followed this thread so carefully (either) but I think if we ever move wheel- or tyre file, we should use one x~z direction, prefarably the current most commonly used. I find it quite frustration that wheels don't point the same way. Or (...) (25 years ago, 30-Apr-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Sure do. I just did not make the mental connection between that idea and inlining parts during an "update parts" process. As I recall, updating of parts was the primary reason not to do this.
