(...) Oh no! I did the same misteak as the guys in "The Spinal Tap"! (They ordered a scene prop at 18" by 18", but meant 18' by 18'.) The next thing you'll know, I'll probably be buying amplifiers which go to eleven. (FU: lugnet.off-topic.fun) (...) (24 years ago, 11-Jun-00, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.off-topic.fun)

(...) It's definitely closer to 25.6cm x 25.6cm than 10' by 10'! I think you meant 10" by 10" :-) --Todd (24 years ago, 10-Jun-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) For large LEGO elements, the difference would probably be significant, so I would suggest using 0.3937mm = 1LDU. But it's normally better to measure new elements along long LEGO beams, when applicable. Fredrik (24 years ago, 10-Jun-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) But 0.4mm = 1 LDU (also known as 1mm = 2.5 LDU) is for us Metrics a solid enough basis to model parts with. Greetings, M. Moolhuysen (24 years ago, 10-Jun-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) This is only an approximation. The LEGO bricks are not metric -- The dimensions are based on inches. The width of one brick is 5/16 inch and the height (without studs) is 6/16 inch. So 0.39370mm = 1LDU is more precise. I normally try to (...) (24 years ago, 10-Jun-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Some of this has come up in various discussions. I'm not sure if all of it has or not. (...) No, centering on a stud isn't necessary. Look at 3001.dat, the 2x4 brick. It is centered on X-Z, not on a stud. The same applies for all other (...) (24 years ago, 9-Jun-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) I believe the conversion is 0.4mm = 1 LDU. At least, that's what I always use. (...) Standards are already there. They just aren't strictly enforced. As I see it, there are two basic "orientation rules": 1. Do the same thing as other, similar (...) (24 years ago, 9-Jun-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
