(...) You're probably running into trouble with the random polygon winding direction in most of the LDRAW parts. This causes problems with lighting and culling since the normals often point into the part rather than out of it. In opengl you can (...) (23 years ago, 27-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Of course you will have to convert this to a unit vector, by dividing each of the conponents by the length of the resulting vector. (23 years ago, 27-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) It sounds like you need help finding the normal vector so that Direct X will prperly shade the triangle. you can find the normal vector for the vertex by calculating the cross product of two vectors taken from two sides of the triangle. I (...) (23 years ago, 27-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

Hi, the program seems to be very good, seeing the screen caps, but... It's hanging on me, the other version 1.0 does also hang after selecting a model (simple 2x4 brick). PC Specs: Athlon TB 1400, Asus v3800 TNT2, 256MB win me OpenGL should be ok, I (...) (23 years ago, 27-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

Hi all. Tim Courtney directed me to this forum on an issue that's bugging me. I am into the Virtual Lego for about a year now and being a programmer i started to mess around myself with the dat files etc. Just for the fun of it I started a little (...) (23 years ago, 27-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) LDraw-mode, running under Emacs, can be used to inline any parts, primitives and sub models. Emacs runs under virtually any OS, hence there has been the posibility to inline under "any" OS for a couple of years or so... Fredrik (23 years ago, 27-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev)

It inlines them ok, but the LEDIT mode currently only saves (...) (23 years ago, 27-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) I forgot to mention that I have made a working inliner, but it's inside of LDA2001 and invisible, out of reach for general purpose inlining. I did have plans to break it out and make a standalone utility, but for some reason, I didn't. And now (...) (23 years ago, 27-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) It is very exciting to me. I'm running the Swedish version of Win98 at home, and that means in LDAO I have to: 1. Replace all decimal points in the file to inline with commas. 2.
