 | | Hollow LDraw models

|
Many months ago I posted a question regarding making hollow shells or mesh objects out of LDraw models. In the POVray links section, under the macro subheading, is a listing for something called 'Tristan Macro for MegaPOV'. Anyone test this to see (...) (22 years ago, 28-Aug-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) No, moving the hose segments to parts/s/ would NOT prevent the shrinkage problem. It doesn't matter whether a part is located in PARTS or PARTS/S, it is still considered as a part. Whenever a (sub-)part is referenced from another part, it is (...) (22 years ago, 27-Aug-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, lugnet.cad.dev)

Is anyone opposed to my moving 3650a.dat to 3650.dat? If someone later makes a file for one of the other versions of this part, we can do another move at that time. Steve (...) (22 years ago, 27-Aug-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Actually, by the guidelines for parts I posted, the flex-axle subparts should be in the parts directory. Moving the hose segments to parts/s/ would prevent the shrinkage problem, but I think there are better solutions. Steve (22 years ago, 27-Aug-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, lugnet.cad.dev)

Since all the new Minifig parts (hand, left/right arms) are now available on the LDraw.org Parts Tracker, I though I'd make a minifig using them. The render can be found here: (URL) (22 years ago, 26-Aug-02, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.cad.dat.models, lugnet.build.minifigs)

I just noticed that we need also a program like TD "a.k.a Track desingner" but for all these tools they must not use or need: No Visual Basic DLL "why because they don't work in all my 3 PC only in my good one" No run time stuff like I said above or (...)

Hmm, interesting. Thanks for digging into this, Clark. It's hard to judge from the Technica pictures, but I'm guessing that for LDraw, we probably won't want separate files for 3650 and 3650a (if we did want separate files, we'd call them 3650a and (...) (22 years ago, 26-Aug-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Don't be silly. You're probably just making some simple mistake that'll seem so obvious you'll wonder why you didn't think of it yourself. For example, L3View.cpp is only used by the l3 parser. If you don't use -l3 on the command line, you (...) (22 years ago, 26-Aug-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
