  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)
 
  Re: New Construction Toy In LDraw Format!
 
(...) Blasphemer! Blasphemer! That's not LEGO! Just kidding. :-) Actually, this is really cool. I've been thinking for a couple of weeks of asking if anyone had made K'Nex pieces for LDraw. I was wanting to draw up some ideas to share with my cousin (...) (23 years ago, 11-Aug-01, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.general, lugnet.build)

It looks really great, but the library link (URL) is broken. /Tore (...) (23 years ago, 11-Aug-01, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.general, lugnet.build)

Try going to (URL) then scrolling down to library.zip...click and save. Joseph (...) (23 years ago, 11-Aug-01, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.general, lugnet.build)
 
  Re: New Construction Toy In LDraw Format!
 
Now it appears that not only the link is broken but also the zip file. It is missing a few bits and PKUnzip will not process it. Joseph (...) (23 years ago, 11-Aug-01, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.general, lugnet.build)
 
  Re: New Construction Toy In LDraw Format!
 
(...) I believe I fixed the bugs. The image was desigated as a local file, and the zip file was incorrectly titled. And for anyone interested, the .dat file for the rubber-band gun can be found here: (URL) (23 years ago, 11-Aug-01, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.general, lugnet.build)
 
  Re: New Construction Toy In LDraw Format!
 
(...) Nope, sorry. The zip file downloads now, but it's corrupt. Did you forget to upload it in binary mode? The first image of the rubberband also still doesn't work. (23 years ago, 12-Aug-01, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.general, lugnet.build)
 
  Re: New Construction Toy In LDraw Format!
 
(...) Probably. I re-uploaded it in binary mode now, so it should work... (...) Nasty links to local files... Try it now. Thanks, --Ryan (23 years ago, 13-Aug-01, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.general, lugnet.build)
 
  Re: New Construction Toy In LDraw Format!
 
Everything downloaded and unzipped great. Renamed all the parts to start with "K" and updated the mklist. Then I couldn't figure out why some of the parts wouldn't load onto MLcad...had to re-rename the "P" list back to original names. Now all works (...)

(...) Cool. Any chance that you might do the K'nex figure? (23 years ago, 14-Aug-01, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.general, lugnet.build)

(...) Link seems broken(?) (22 years ago, 6-Jan-03, to lugnet.general)
 
  Re: New Construction Toy In LDraw Format!
 
(...) I think I still have a copy of the original knex parts, and a slightly reworked version in ldraw units (just in case you like to mix your virtual construction toys). I don't have the lincoln log parts though. Don (22 years ago, 6-Jan-03, to lugnet.general)
 
  Re: New Construction Toy In LDraw Format!
 
(...) Ok, I got a few emails asking for them so... The original knex library is here: (URL) modified version is here: (URL) believe both versions of the library have some unnessary "0 STEP" lines that should be removed to avoid random pauses. (22 years ago, 8-Jan-03, to lugnet.general)
