There are definitely issues: with the beta, with the development version on my hard drive, and with my available time. I made the mistake of withdrawing a relatively decent beta (2.0.4) before posting the 2.1.0. And I didn't keep the 2.0.4 files. At (...) (25 years ago, 25-Aug-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) The reason your approach doesn't work is because all LEGO parts are deliberately manufactured with a very tiny gap allowance on each contact-surface dimension. If this weren't the case, the bricks would not fit well when dirty or marred. It (...) (25 years ago, 24-Aug-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
