Hi Lego-lovers! I have some very good news. In less then a week, I have won two very important "battles" in the fight for custody. I now see no possibility for my ex-wife to level up the score. The only trouble is I've made her lawyer really pissed (...) (25 years ago, 31-Aug-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Was it? I couldn't remember. I've got an archive of most of the 'sticker discussion', but it's not on this machine. I'm sure I was a proponent of thick stickers. I reversed my position because LDraw objects are just shells, not solid 3D. But (...) (25 years ago, 31-Aug-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

Yes, I have drawn up the pattern for the black/white bird thing, potentially for the shield and torso. Struggling to find time to do the LDraw work though (due to the recent purchase of a large lot of unsorted parts). I'll register it on the Parts (...)

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)

I know you went several hundred studs in length if I recall, but is there any chance that the stud center spacing is actually intended to be 8.000 mm ??? This is not intended as a slur against your measurement technique, but an honest question. (...) (25 years ago, 24-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)
