|
Ahhh.... Well, I tried messing with some l3p stuff this morning to generate an image for ldraw.org I would like to use. I would like a red 2x3 brick with the -q3 level with 'Lego' on the studs. I can't get the right camera angle for l3p or in the (...) (26 years ago, 13-Apr-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) No, 5LDU is not accurate enough, especially for studs. Regular studs are always spaced *exactly* 20LDU apart. The only exceptions are some very odd, small bits. Depending on the part, studs will either be positioned on the even-number (...) (26 years ago, 13-Apr-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
