  Re: Modelling !
 
(...) It's definitely closer to 25.6cm x 25.6cm than 10' by 10'! I think you meant 10" by 10" :-) --Todd (24 years ago, 10-Jun-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: So when is the next LDraw parts update going to be?
 
(...) Did you miss (URL) ? And who is this anonymous _they_. Aren't you one of them? Sounds like you are referring to a large faceless corporation rather than small number of dedicated enthusiasts of whom Steve Bliss does a lot of great work (...)

  Re: LDraw not to sell CD-ROM at Kidvention in July & Misc CD-ROM issues
 
(...) I think it is more like this: when you are just showing it off, it ias just a fan made creation but if you start selling it, then some people (parents especially) might start to assume that it is endorsed by lego or approved by lego or (...)

  Re: Modelling !
 
(...) For large LEGO elements, the difference would probably be significant, so I would suggest using 0.3937mm = 1LDU. But it's normally better to measure new elements along long LEGO beams, when applicable. Fredrik (24 years ago, 10-Jun-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Modelling !
 
(...) But 0.4mm = 1 LDU (also known as 1mm = 2.5 LDU) is for us Metrics a solid enough basis to model parts with. Greetings, M. Moolhuysen (24 years ago, 10-Jun-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Modelling !
 
(...) This is only an approximation. The LEGO bricks are not metric -- The dimensions are based on inches. The width of one brick is 5/16 inch and the height (without studs) is 6/16 inch. So 0.39370mm = 1LDU is more precise. I normally try to (...) (24 years ago, 10-Jun-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  So when is the next LDraw parts update going to be?
 
I was wondering when they were going to do the next update for the LDraw parts library. It seams like they have been voting for over a month or two now. (24 years ago, 10-Jun-00, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
 
  ldglite dev version questions
 
Since the ldglite web page says to post questions/etc. here, here I am... Trying to compile a Linux version from the dev release on sourceforge (ldglitesrc0_6pre8.zip) has been a dismal failure - numerous undefined types, etc. Is this a (...) (24 years ago, 9-Jun-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Modelling !
 
(...) Some of this has come up in various discussions. I'm not sure if all of it has or not. (...) No, centering on a stud isn't necessary. Look at 3001.dat, the 2x4 brick. It is centered on X-Z, not on a stud. The same applies for all other (...) (24 years ago, 9-Jun-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Modelling !
 
(...) Thanks ! So, 1.00 mm = 2.5 LDU (...) I call this common sence, which I think everyone should use ! (...) Are these your opinions only, or is assumed buy other people too ? I agree with most of it ! (...) Check! (...) Check! (...) Shouldn't we (...) (24 years ago, 9-Jun-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
