Hi, I just noticed that the part "71184 Bar 4.5L Straight" is too short. According to my findings, it should have been approx 8 LDU longer. Fredrik (25 years ago, 6-Apr-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Da, you are correct. I'd go with the (14,0) shoulder position -- it has better (hidden) precision. 14.345 is derived, as you pointed out, and it is rounded. Does LGEO have the minifig torso? It'd be so nice to have truly rounded edges and (...) (25 years ago, 6-Apr-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Ok, thanks. I understand. It's not interesting for me (in this setting) to know the angles and offsets of the _true_ minifig. What is of interest is the values that were used to _model_ the minifig. This is because what I want to do is to pose (...) (25 years ago, 6-Apr-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) I can't speak for the other programs but if you allow a part to have CCW and CW faces in any OpenGL program, it's going to be slower (but as LeoCAD's library is pre-processed than it won't be a problem). If you have some parts BFC compliant (...) (25 years ago, 6-Apr-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
