(...) OK. I agree with you. The idea behind my site was to help people who are trying to locate hard-to-describe pieces, and need to visually browse through the catalog. (...) Again, I agree. I was just brainstorming ideas on how to reduce the (...) (25 years ago, 7-Jul-99, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.general)

(...) So why should it be on the Parts Tracker? I made a *mockup* file. That's different from working on a file worth including in a parts update. (Those studs inside the inverted slope are killers) Steve (25 years ago, 7-Jul-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) I think that the word slope should be in there, along with the degrees of the slope. Those two slopes would then be "1x2 45 degree end cap slope" and "2x2 45 degree peak slope junction". Although, "half-pyramid" fits the "end cap" best, as (...) (25 years ago, 7-Jul-99, to lugnet.admin.database, lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.db.inv, lugnet.general)

I just keep a 0view.dat file in my /models directory ("0" so it's always at the top), and when I want to view .dats from the newsreader I launch the 0view.dat into LDAO's Editor, then with one cut-and-paste I can view a model. One more cut-and-paste (...) (25 years ago, 7-Jul-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
