Just opened my first 7146 set, the new Star Wars TIE Fighter. MmmMMMMmmmm, lovely triangular girder. Wonderful new flexible deep-ribbed hose. Must resists urge to LDraw ... must resist ... must ... Well, at least until tomorrow. :) Steve (24 years ago, 19-Dec-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) As a somewhat innocent bystander, I'd like to see it stay LDraw.org, which is why I used the LDraw family of applications to refer to programs which will ultimately derrive from the work James started. (24 years ago, 19-Dec-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Tim will have to correct us, but I believe that James's family has given Tim permission to continue publishing James's work. This is probably something which should be properly ironed out with the Jessiman's. They will have to decide to what (...) (24 years ago, 19-Dec-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Right. But if something new and plainly better (in all aspects) comes along, we can as easily label it "LDraw Mk II" as any other name. Assuming the author(s) would go along willingly, of course. :) Steve (24 years ago, 19-Dec-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) And I'd still be happy to include the results of that effort under the LDraw umbrella. I think Jacob still has documents on his server about "LDraw II". But we don't need to write a new format -- it's already there. Heck, there are a bunch of (...) (24 years ago, 19-Dec-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

Has anyone modeled the little flap piece that goes on the head of throwbots? It's usually patterned. I know the head piece has been done and is in the Technic category, but I'm not sure even where I would look for the flap piece. -John Van (24 years ago, 19-Dec-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Shouldn't the latter be mlcad.ldraw.lcad.org? I tend to view any program which uses the LDraw parts library in any way as a descendant of the LDraw heritage, and hence as a subset of "LDraw in the wider sense". If a LEGO CAD program "Xyzzy" (...) (24 years ago, 19-Dec-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

Yup, that'd be why. ;-) Actually, those one-digit numbers are in reality *two*-digit numbers, prefaced with a zero, but since the zero in question is invisible, you don't see it. ;-) Franklin (24 years ago, 18-Dec-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) That seems backwards to me. If "LCAD" is the all-encompassing term we want to use, then LDraw would be a subset of LCAD, and the 'proper' subdomain name would be ldraw.lcad.org (to go along with mlcad.lcad.org, etc).
