 | | New Construction Toy In LDraw Format!
|
|
K'nex is now available in .dat-file format! Over the past couple of months, I have built a library consisting of 17 parts and 8 primitives with which you can make virtual models of K'nex constructions. And of course it is fully renderable using L3P (...) (23 years ago, 10-Aug-01, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.general, lugnet.build)

Don: (...) There is a quite useful algorithm in my big computer graphics book. It is from 1991 (or before) and I think the title simply is "Computer Graphics". The algorithm is called "space-partitioning tree" or something like that. Jacob (23 years ago, 10-Aug-01, to lugnet.cad.dev)

Ah, simple answer: The last line of the 6558.dat file does not end in a carriage return. Simple add a return at the end of the file and it should display correctly. I'll log the bug. There's quite a few lines of the parser dedicated to handling this (...) (23 years ago, 10-Aug-01, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.cad)

Hi all, Can anyone tell me why LDLite (2.2) is rendering the #6558 "Technic Pin long with Friction" piece like this: (URL) (23 years ago, 10-Aug-01, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.cad)

I don't know if anyone's ever thought of this, but it would be cool if you were able to import a terrain file into LDraw, in a way that LDraw could read it. This way, you could place your models on "real world terrain" without having to work in a (...) (23 years ago, 10-Aug-01, to lugnet.cad.dev)
