Part Reviewers: There are 12 new DUPLO part files on the PT, ready for release. However, all of these files depend on the new primitives stud7 and stud8. In order for the stud files to be released, their fast-draw companion files, stu27.dat and (...) (23 years ago, 28-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

| | 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 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)

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)
