 | | Parts Tracker is Now Live!

Yes, that's right. The moment you've all been waiting for. The new Parts Tracker is live and ready for action. Well, mostly. It's in a "pilot phase" -- think of it as a "gamma test". That means we're using real data, and it will have real results, (...) (23 years ago, 12-Sep-01, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw) !!

I like that idea. If the default view is what you said (the [0.707104 ...] matrix), then a projection matrix of 1.4142,0,0,0,1.2196,...171,1.2247 in front of it would give the same effect as the original LDRAW default matrix. I've wanted to pull out (...) (23 years ago, 7-Sep-01, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) How about if we just separate the shearing "oblique" projection transformation from the underlying modeling transformation? I'd be happy using this for the default matrix. 0.707104,0,0.707104,...5,0.612372 I think it's a 45 degree spin and a (...) (23 years ago, 6-Sep-01, to lugnet.cad.dev)

Should we change the default view to be something that is (what is the word..."only made from rotation matricies and does not produce shearing"? det(A)=1?). It bugs me that the default is flawed that way, although there are some other (...) (23 years ago, 6-Sep-01, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) I'm not sure if I *want* to do this, I was just asking if it would be useful. I asked because I already added -cc and -ca (not sure what -cla is) to ldglite so I could move the camera enough to test my recent bug fixes. Since I tend to add (...) (23 years ago, 6-Sep-01, to lugnet.cad.dev)
