 | | Seam width in LDView
|
|
Hi Travis. What does LDView apply the seam width settings to? When doing some part dev, I noticed it was "shrinking" a moved part, in this case, 3070.dat which includes 3070a.dat. I guess it is because it is missing an official part header? Thanks (17 years ago, 3-Mar-08, to lugnet.cad.dev)

Hello Tore, You are right, I should look more closely at LDraw script. Certainly a flexible tool... Would you already have a utility that converts a ldraw file (say with a path of lines) into a set of points coordinates usable by LDS? Philo (17 years ago, 14-Feb-08, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) I agree fully on this. A text line is not complete until you have specified the end of it (with EOLN). A LDRAW model consists of text lines, and should IMO end with EOLN.
