  Re: Inline POV-Ray code?
 
(...) I don't know if any official parts do it, but it is possible. Based on an earlier lugnet.cad.ray message, you do this: 0 L3P IFNOTPOV (regular ldraw code goes here) 0 L3P ELSEPOV 0 (POV-Ray code goes here, commented-out) 0 L3P ENDPOV You can (...)

He describes how to include POV-Ray code in .DAT files that can (...) (23 years ago, 19-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Re: File Check utility (was: Case of part filenames?)
 
(...) OK, it's done. It will probably be a problem going forward, until I can clean up the code and combine it into one source. Anyone ever played with lex and perl? That would probably be a better way of doing this - the current code is pretty (...) (23 years ago, 19-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Inline POV-Ray code?
 
I seem to recall that some curved parts have separate definitions in the parts file itself for POV-Ray to render them better. But I can't find any. Is this actually possible? Do such parts exist? Is there a "better" way (ie through L3P) to get (...) (23 years ago, 19-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Re: File Check utility (was: Case of part filenames?)
 
(...) Yep, I will do that. I think it should be pretty straightforward. Not quite as straightforward as it would be if they actually ran off the same source code, but close... Steve (23 years ago, 19-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  File Check utility (was: Case of part filenames?)
 
(...) Thanks! Now I know. One related thing- is there any way that you could add the new checks to the "File Check" utility as well? I had a number of parts that I had scanned with that tool and they came up OK. Then the submission form refused the (...) (23 years ago, 19-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Case of part filenames?
 
(...) You got it. It didn't use to matter, but now we're trying to move to lower case. Mostly. It didn't use to matter -- DOS's file system is 'case-insensitive'. But DOS always stores & returns filenames as all-caps, so most filenames were (...) (23 years ago, 19-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Case of part filenames?
 
What's the story with upper vs. lower case in part filenames? In my brief survey of my parts directory, it looks like all the files use all upper case where they use letters (".DAT" and the "P" for patterned elements). Additionally, many parts (...) (23 years ago, 19-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  progress report (was "Re: Looking for DAT of Wedge Curved 2x6x1")
 
(...) I've posted an almost-comlete version of 41765: "(URL) only things remaining for this one is encoding the sliced tubes (i.e., where the top-studs meet the sidewalls). Thanks, Franklin (23 years ago, 18-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Part 6588 Question
 
(...) Heh, yeah. You're absolutely right. OK, I give up: what was the 7 for? Steve (23 years ago, 18-Feb-02, to lugnet.db.brictionary, lugnet.cad.dev)
