| | Rotation/scaling matrices... reference?
|
|
Okay, I think I've pretty much reached the limit of what I can do with my "experimental" approach to dealing with matrices. I did learn today that yes, you can use it to skew, at least with 2D objects... that's darn handy for printing on slopes. Now (...) (23 years ago, 27-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) I suspect it's probably because the linux files use lowercase filenames. In the notes Andrew mentions that it's important to use uppercase folder names for the OS 8-9 version of ldglite. (URL) not sure why, but I think the old MAC parts (...) (23 years ago, 27-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)

| | Part files?
|
|
I figured we need a parts file that will work with the 3 different apps: BrickDraw3D, ldglite (os 8-9), and ldglite (os x). I got the linux parts to work with ldglite (os x), so I figured I would test those with BrickDraw3D and ldglite (os 8-9). (...) (23 years ago, 27-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)

(...) Travis Cobbs made one once upon a time. I used it in this MPD file. (URL) doesn't have type 5 lines yet, but in the comments he promised to add them if anyone uses the sphere primitive in their parts. :) Don (23 years ago, 27-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

| | Hi-res sphere?
|
|
I'm working on some parts that will need a hi-res 1/8 sphere primitive. Has anyone done up a version of this? How about a 3D tool that could build it? If I don't hear anything within a couple of days, I'll probably start working up the part in (...) (23 years ago, 26-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) I'd consider ldglite more of an UNpopular FIRST generation editor. If you use the linux parts, you'll have to tell how to unzip and untar them on OS 8 and 9. (and probably on OSX as well) I think the ldlite instructions only cover the command (...) (23 years ago, 26-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)

OK, so I have made a preliminary getting started page. I basically took the Windows page and changed the names, commented out the images, and sent it to Tim. What it needs: - Images for ldglite and BrickDraw3D, 150x134 (see the Windows getting (...) (23 years ago, 26-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)
