(...) In L3Lab, you can find the current view matrix in the statistics menu item. It is useful for usage with, e.g., LDLITE and LDraw. Fredrik (24 years ago, 5-Oct-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

Hello ! I've just updated my BMP-to-LDraw converter windows tool. I added 3 more palettes (2 with dithered colors) and the possibility to choose your palette. BMP-to-LDraw runs under Win95/98/ME/2000 and convertes logo-bitmaps of LEGO-bricks to (...)

I knew there was a way to decompose the matrices! But I couldn't find it. Where is that written down? I also thought there was a way to remove the cumulative round off errors in a transformation matrix after many matrix multiplications. Do you (...) (24 years ago, 4-Oct-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) LDAO writes those entries to ldraw.ini. I'm not sure if any other programs update that section or not. The "Oblique" view is the default view for LDraw, and was also used for LDLite (I think) and L3Lab. "UpsideDown" is derived from "Oblique". (...) (24 years ago, 4-Oct-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

I believe the matrix happens to produce a standard isometric view, but doesn't do so in the traditional 3D graphics way of rotation. This means that in addition to not looking right after rotation, it also doens't produce correct results when you (...) (24 years ago, 4-Oct-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
