(...) What you are describing is in fact a very old and basic edge rendering algorithm, which can be found in most detailed textbooks on computer graphics. CAD style and wire frame rendering went out of style during the 90's, so some recent "fancy (...) (20 years ago, 29-Jan-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)

Thanks for your suggestions, the message I received is: "Yes, a good and useful translator would be appreciated." One brief comment on the issue of whether we want clean, compact and well structured files or not: of *course* we want clean files! A (...) (20 years ago, 29-Jan-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Actually, one can bring the number of transformations down to 1 for the entire _object_. Interesting what can happen when an idea sits in the brain and percolates for a couple of days. A new idea I had was to just transform the camera position (...) (20 years ago, 29-Jan-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) I ran into this too while betatesting. If you were using, for example, MLCad, it might be a problem with the color definitions that MLCad is aware of. Bricksiac is getting its color info from the ldconfig.ldr file in the install dir, I think. (...) (20 years ago, 28-Jan-05, to lugnet.build.mosaic, lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) I don't see it. Are you sure this works in the perspective projection? Because I can't quite figure out what the magic view vector is in that case. I think you'd need to calculate one view vector for each edge endpoint, which brings the number (...) (20 years ago, 25-Jan-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)
