(...) Hi Scott If I decide to write a new version of Peeron_to_MLCad I will take note of your suggestions. I am writing to you in private on technical aspects related to programming. (15 years ago, 11-May-09, to lugnet.cad.dev)

Now that I've had a chance to use Peeron_to_MLCAD, I must say again, excellent work. After getting everything setup, it was fun 'building' the model in MLCAD. The tutorial was great and very necessary, as I was overwhelmed by all of the buttons and (...) (15 years ago, 9-May-09, to lugnet.cad.dev)

That is pretty neat! It is kind of like getting a LEGO set in all digital form. All you need to do is put it together. I'll have to give this a try as soon as a I have some time. Thanks, Scott W. (15 years ago, 5-May-09, to lugnet.cad.dev)

Hi All I have developed a program called Peeron_to_MLCad. It's useful to simplify the initial phase of implementation of existing Lego sets. With Peeron_to_MLCad is possible to reduce drastically the time needed to select the parts and find the (...)

(...) Yep. I created a minifig and imported the 3DS file into MeshLab. The improper BFC is very apparent. (You can see how part authors simply created one half of a part and then mirrored the primitives to create the other half.) -Mike (15 years ago, 14-Apr-09, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Sorry about that, the program may only work with the geometry so all the parts/primitves would probably need to be inlined. It also may need to have a DAT extention rather than MPD. (15 years ago, 11-Apr-09, to lugnet.cad.dev)
