(...) Waycool! I'm wicked excited to try out anything LDraw-related for Linux. I almost got it working, but not quite. :-( It seems to be running and thinking real hard, but all it displays is a blank white window. Notes: * System is PII333 / RHL6.1 (...)

Hello beta testers, I put a new version of ldglite on the web. You can find it at (URL) the case sensitive filesystem issues have been resolved. Translucent pieces look kinda translucent. Type 2 lines look good. (well they look good to me anyways) I (...) (25 years ago, 26-Jan-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

When I use certain decorated elements in LEdit, only the bottom, top, and decorated face appear; the others are simply absent. I've noticed this on the LL924 and LL928 bricks, as well as the Classic Space "down arrow" 1x2 brick and the very cool (...) (25 years ago, 25-Jan-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

Ok, Can some one tell me where we are heading with these Hi-Res primitives. Today I created the Hi-Res versions of several of the "normal" primitives. Then I edited the main "normal" ones to use the Hi-Res instead. WOW! There was about a 10-20% (...) (25 years ago, 25-Jan-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
