(...) It has been done before. Ildefonso Junior Zanette wrote a program called Windz, I use it all the time when I author parts. I can't remember if he publically released it. -Orion (20 years ago, 30-Jan-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) It doesn't matter, actually. In one way or another, optional lines are required. In general, the "magic halo" effect only highlights _outside_ edges, but for a non-convex object, that won't necessarily be adqeuate. You can't even get away with (...)

(...) Ok, I drew a better picture (2 planes in space and a floating eye) and I'm starting to see. Maybe you're onto something. It takes 2 surface normals and one point on the edgeline to divide space into 4 quadrants. Then you only need to figure (...) (20 years ago, 29-Jan-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) If I understand the problem correctly, you have to scale down the output file. This can be easily done by pretanding that it is a sub-part Rename it to pattern.dat for example.

(...) 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)
