(...) How far 'percent wise' is the standard library bfc? In about 2 months i'm starting work on a rendering engine for LD4DModeler 2. I was hoping to 'assume' all parts are BFC so I can implement simple lighting. (20 years ago, 19-Feb-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) I don't have a compelling argument for more or less but I think that if you can build the capability for more decimals then you probably should. In my experience if you think that users will get by with less, one will invariably come along (...) (20 years ago, 19-Feb-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)

Hello, I've been working on LD4DModeler 2 (on paper) tonight and i have a question regarding precision. The question is what is 'normal' to use for the amount of decimals that can be set by user interface controls. I was thinking 2 myself but if (...) (20 years ago, 18-Feb-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Hi Stefan, don't get discouraged! I for one tried your converter (on a BBB part) here: (URL) I'd be interested to hear what the parts authors have to say, since we can directly compare the original DAT (converted with ?) and the "new" DAT (...)

(...) Most of them have a comment indicating that they are for lsynth. Willy says a few of the parts to do not. I'll update them. (...) LS10.dat is not an electrical connector. Instead it is a small cross section of the electrical cable that is used (...) (20 years ago, 18-Feb-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) That sounds reasonable. We've done this before, with light.dat. Do the files have comments identifying what they are used for? If they're going into the official library, it'd nice to try and make them useable by any program doing the same (...) (20 years ago, 18-Feb-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) I'd suggest that LS00.dat belongs in the PARTS directory because it's designed to be manipulated directly by the end user when creating a model file (much like a regular part, and unlike the files in the S subdir). If you put it in S, it'll be (...) (20 years ago, 18-Feb-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)

Hi Steve, Chris, Orion, I'm bringing out a new version of LSynth. LSynth originally had a number of unofficial parts that it used to specify and synthesize flexible parts. Where possible I've eliminated the unoffical parts that could easily be (...) (20 years ago, 18-Feb-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)
