  Re: Suggestions for new primitives: Flex-System hoses.
 
(...) That would be great! I have worked a bit on them myself. Here's what I have done so far: (URL) used two sub parts for the ribbed hose: end and segment parts. Look for "RIBD-END.DAT" and "RIBD-SEG.DAT". These are somewhat modified from Mark R. (...) (24 years ago, 1-May-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Suggestions for new primitives: Flex-System hoses.
 
Sounds like a good idea. We should do a similar thing for the ribbed hoses. Steve (...) (24 years ago, 1-May-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: LDS ver 0.31 - Added PIPE
 
(...) Yah, that makes sense. (...) Sort of. Well, not really. I didn't want to ROTATE around Y (although that's a useful function). Well, in my case rotating would work, but only because the objects I was working with were symmetric. I was trying to (...) (24 years ago, 1-May-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: LDS ver 0.31 - Added PIPE
 
(...) Steve, I don't want to 'fix' it. There are too many applications for the MIRROR function as it works today*). If I read you correctly, you don't want the object mirrored x- and z-way, but duplicated around the y-axis. So maybe I can create a (...) (24 years ago, 30-Apr-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

  Suggestions for new primitives: Flex-System hoses.
 
I think it would be useful to have new primitives for the flex system hoses. I'm talking about the 8 LDU thick flexible straw-like elements which are used as decorative elements or as hoses for the Flex-System. What we would need are two elements: (...)

  LDLITE cache limit bug (Was Apollo lunar module)

  Re: MOC: Apollo lunar module (repost)
 
(...) LDLite has always been slightly flakey on MPD files. I think v1.6 is better than v1.5, but I'm not in a position to make absolute statements--I use L3Lab these days. Steve (24 years ago, 27-Apr-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: MOC: Apollo lunar module (repost)
