I have made a small improvement that solves many annoying problems in some parts. The program now uses several primitives if the plain primitive does not exist. Example: for a part of cylinder of 5/8, the program will use two primitives 2-4cyli and (...) (23 years ago, 14-Aug-01, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) I don't think I can do this right away since I already have 2 actual bug reports and an enhancement request in for ldglite. (I don't get many of these so I like to give them priority). It shouldn't be too hard to do though. Everything you need (...) (23 years ago, 14-Aug-01, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) You should at least try the "-l3" before you recompile. I'm sort of interested in what you get for render times with both parsers. I only have somewhat underpowered PCs to work with, so I'm curious how they compare in the "real world". Don (23 years ago, 14-Aug-01, to lugnet.cad.dev)

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 (...)

Am I correct in assuming that the PGM -> DAT converter creates studs in the form of terrain? I saw the rendering of Falling Water and saw that the building was surrounded by lots of studs. Is this the result of using this converter? Mike (...) (23 years ago, 14-Aug-01, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.build.arch)

Oh, I didn't know you'd made a DAT file out of that yet. I just visited your site and was looking at that model. Very nice! Would you consider contributing your model to my new village I'm building?
