  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)
 
  Re: Modelling !
 
(...) I believe the conversion is 0.4mm = 1 LDU. At least, that's what I always use. (...) Standards are already there. They just aren't strictly enforced. As I see it, there are two basic "orientation rules": 1. Do the same thing as other, similar (...) (24 years ago, 9-Jun-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Color and L-CAD- Some Sugessetions.
 
(...) The LDL 0 COLOR command already handles both of these cases. (...) I think this would be better handled as a new command, a new linetype, instead of a meta-command. (...) Hmm. That's an idea. (...) That'd be neat, too. How about a simple ... 0 (...) (24 years ago, 9-Jun-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Getting Started (Corrections) !
 
Is it just me or the "Get Started" page in (URL) missing the files: lp97-13.exe lp97-14.exe which are required to be unpacked after "LDraw.exe" file and before the "Complete.exe" file. We shouldn't confuse new users ! See ya Rui Martins (24 years ago, 9-Jun-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Modelling !
 
Has some of you may remember, I have modelled the super car (8880) wheels and tires, but when I modeled it I used Metric measurements (millimeters). I would Like to know if there is an approved standard for a convertion ratio, between millimeters (...) (24 years ago, 9-Jun-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Color and L-CAD- Some Sugessetions.

  Re: LDraw not to sell CD-ROM at Kidvention in July & Misc CD-ROM issues
 
(...) Probably because it is their place (and their show?) and they don't want to let a group come in and sell a product that could be seen as competing with their own products? LDraw and other packages are great, and the fact that LEGO has chosen (...) (24 years ago, 8-Jun-00, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

Greetings I just talked with Heidi Bailey again today, and she informed me that TLC will not be allowing us to sell the CD-ROM at Legoland this summer for the Kidvention.
