(...) Surely the very fact it is .ldr instead of .dat differentiates it from the lego parts. MLCad doesn't recognise 3010.ldr as a valid part, and it allows both blah.dat and blah.ldr in the same mpd file. (19 years ago, 14-Nov-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)

I agree and disagree with this. I agree that it would be good (for now) if L3P only substituted LGEO parts for files with a .dat extension. Or, even better, if (a) the file being substituted has the UNOFFICIAL/LDRAWORG meta-statement and states it (...) (19 years ago, 14-Nov-05, to lugnet.cad.dev, FTX)

hi lars, looks like L3P doesn't distinguish between part-files (.dat) and scene-files (.ldr) when I use LGEO parts. have a look at the following pic. when I render a .mpd (which containes the subfile 926.ldr refering to the sets number) without LGEO (...)

I've been thinking a little about Tweening the last two weeks. Linear Motion Tweening between two keyframes is very simple I guess. If x(0)=50 and x(1)=250, then x(0.1)=50+(250-50)*0.1=70. "kx+m". But then I came to the rest of the LDraw Type 1 (...) (19 years ago, 11-Nov-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) The key bit is the -W option -- it draws thick lines. The $scale is the width of the line, in pixels. For the ldraw/partsref/peeron images, we use -W3 (but we also set scale to -S3, for a 300% zoom). -Q is supposed to result in higher-quality, (...) (19 years ago, 9-Nov-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) You can also use "Save snapshot" in LDView to generate a similar image. If you set the edge lines to be always black, and set the Field of View to be 0.1, you'll get something like so: (URL) Cobbs (19 years ago, 9-Nov-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) LDLite or LDGLite, possibly with a special ldraw.ini color file that gives black edge lines (although the default for trans white might be black already), or maybe MegaPOV are all ways I can think to do it. Ask Dan Boger. (19 years ago, 9-Nov-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) The black lines are normal edge lines (type 2 or 5). As has been mentioned, that was drawn by LDGlite which seems to use silly thick black lines to represent them. Different renderers use different settings (19 years ago, 9-Nov-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)
