| | | Leonardo, you are better than most, perhaps the best at contributing. The comment was not directed at you, but at the idea that publishing source would reduce the number of incompatible/redundant CAD tools. There is something disfunctional about the (...)

I think that the main problem is that practically none of us are experienced CAD developers or users. Some of Paul's points: - Different coordinate systems I (...)

Or at least they were all different from L3G0. (...) L3G0 call a brick a "b2x4"; BriCAD (...) (24 years ago, 5-Feb-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

As a mathematician and physicist I prefer right-hand rectangular coordinate systems with the first two coordinates (x and y) in the plane and the last coordinate (z) having the positive direction up. The units should (...) (24 years ago, 6-Feb-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

I haven't played much with POV-Ray since I took up LDraw, especially not authoring (...) (24 years ago, 7-Feb-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
