Tomorrow if all works out well I will be able to begin the creation of the images for ldraw.org and begin coding shortly thereafter. A few things need to be worked out between now and then, and in the near future when the methods for making the (...) (26 years ago, 12-Apr-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

There are part creation tips in the Ldraw FAQ, but a specific tutorial does not exist. To directly answer your question, a quad takes the form: 4 16 x1 y1 z1 x2 y2 z2 x3 y3 z3 x4 y4 z4 4 is the line type, 16 is the color, and then the 4 points (...) (26 years ago, 12-Apr-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

Hi Everybody! This my first Intentional post to this group, and I hope it is in the right place. I was wondering if there was an LDraw Part Creation Tutorial. I made some bitmaps of Starwars decorations, and I'd like to make them into actual parts, (...) (26 years ago, 12-Apr-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
