Hi everyone, I just wanted to let everyone know that I'm going to be mostly offline this week. I'll probably check my email daily, and try to keep up with lugnet.cad traffic, but I'm very unlikely to respond to any Parts Tracker or LDraw.org (...)

(...) Only if the cylinders are the same diameter, and are intersecting cleanly - perpendicular to each other, and their axes are intersecting. In this case, use 2-4cyls.dat (or is that 2-4cyls2.dat?) to model the intersection. Steve (22 years ago, 20-May-02, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

Hi all, Jake McKee e-mailed me with a idea; a poster with all the dat-parts rendered in POV-Ray with part number and discription on it.

Have we come up with a viable way to represent decals/labels/stickers on parts? And what's the minimum thickness a part can have? Could we make a "label" piece that's 80LDU's wide by 24LDU's tall by, say, .25 LDU's thick? Thanks in advance! Dave! (22 years ago, 17-May-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
