(...) you may not be aware... but you can go to Options|Options in LDLite (1.6) and set the X and Y offset to move your model in LDLite render space... -X values will move the model to the left, +X to the right... -Y values move the model up and +Y (...) (26 years ago, 15-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

| | Ldlite suggestions
|
|
After doing a lot of virtual building over the past few days I noticed that sometimes in Ldlite a part of the model would be cut off down in the blh corner even though there was plenty of room in the urh corner area. For the next version would it be (...) (26 years ago, 14-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

|

That is all there is to it. "0 FILE name.dat" starts a subfile. The subfile ends when end-of-file or another "0 FILE name.dat" line is reached. By convention, tools like L3P and LDLite, when given an mpd file, will render the first subfile. The (...) (26 years ago, 14-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

I've avoided using Throwbot/Slizer in the name, using just "Technic Leg with Ball Joints 3 x 7 x 1" The piece is stamped with "32173" -gyug ps. "Slizer" is better sounding than "Throwbot". (...) (26 years ago, 14-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

I have a suggestion for something that ought to be added to L3PAO. Since it is possible to choose a background color, you ought to be able to choose an .inc file as a background(stars, grass, etc.). Would this be possible?? Ryan (26 years ago, 14-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
