Hey Tim, Will L3P v1.2 be on the CDROM? I can't seem to get a copy from anywhere. If anybody knows where a copy can be found, please let me know. Lars seems to be MIA. -Chuck (24 years ago, 11-Jun-00, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

Hey tim, would it be possible to include samples of .dats and POV rendered files on the cd? If so, I have nearly finished my .dat of 8448 - V8 Supercar MkII. All I need is the wheels, so it should be finished when they are. Will you accept samples (...) (24 years ago, 11-Jun-00, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) 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)
