  Glass... to BFC or not to BFC?
 
When authoring "glass" parts, should I include BFC statements? It seems like we wouldn't want to cull because all surfaces should be visible from any direction. On the other hand, BFC is a performance optimization and transparent surfaces are (...) (22 years ago, 25-Nov-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Need Part Number - Slope Brick Round 1 x 6 x 1 with 2 Studs on Top
 
I intend to create this part for LDRAW, but cannot find a part number anywhere. Does anyone know the part number? (22 years ago, 25-Nov-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Wanted: An AutoTouch Utility
 
(...) It could work, but it would be very hard to find the lines I'm currently working on. The railroad switch is well over 300kb, and growing... And I don't think LDSShell is MPD compatible either. /Tore (22 years ago, 25-Nov-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Wanted: An AutoTouch Utility

  Wanted: An AutoTouch Utility
 
Could anyone make a program with a timer you can set, either by command line argument or with a Win32 GUI (doesn't matter which), to perform a Touch (update time stamp) on a file every n seconds? (n could be 2-120 sec, default=5) Or does anyone know (...) (22 years ago, 23-Nov-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

  Re: Use of box.dat primitive
 
(...) Then I invite you to take a look at the new primitives reference (URL) let me know if you feel this needs to have more information. Chris (22 years ago, 21-Nov-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Use of box.dat primitive
 
(...) Forgive me, for I have sinned. You are absolutely correct. It has been too easy to just use the box.dat instead of experimenting with the other ones, not knowing if they go from -1 to 1 or just from 0 to 1 and in what axises. And, of course, (...)

  Track designer .... where is the source code ...
 
Again I would like to know what the status is concerning the source code of Track Designer. A few months ago there was a large discussion on this ... Guido (22 years ago, 21-Nov-02, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Use of box.dat primitive
 
Hello all, I'm a bit concerned about several parts submitted to the Parts Tracker that use the box.dat primitive (the one with all faces and edges present), where other primitives would have been more appropriate. It seems to me that in several of (...) (22 years ago, 20-Nov-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

  Re: Fully revised LDraw primitives reference now on ldraw.org
 
(...) I can think of two options: 1. Download complete.exe, to get all the updated files at once. 2. Hit (URL) (use the actual file names in place of nnnnnnn) to get each specific file you're interested in. Steve (22 years ago, 16-Nov-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Fully revised LDraw primitives reference now on ldraw.org

  Re: Fully revised LDraw primitives reference now on ldraw.org
 
(...) This is a fantastic resource, far beyond what I'd hoped to see in this regard; I was just expecting a text list. Is it currently possible (or are there future plans to make it possible) to download a zip of all official primitives? I notice (...) (22 years ago, 14-Nov-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Fully revised LDraw primitives reference now on ldraw.org
 
This was very educational. I feel less lost now in the P folder. (Note: the reference uses the word 'flout' correctly.) -Erik (22 years ago, 14-Nov-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

  Fully revised LDraw primitives reference now on ldraw.org
 
After some considerable delay and many promises to complete this, I have now made available a fully revised and restructured LDraw primitives reference.

  Re: Ring and Axle Hole fit
 
(...) I have already submitted the fixes for all the axle related primitives to Steve -Orion (22 years ago, 12-Nov-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Ring and Axle Hole fit
 
(...) Well spotted. There are some bad approximations to the 6LDu radius 16-agon in the axlehole.dat primitive and these appear to have been carried forward into other derivatives. Looks like a well-bounded project for someone to take on? Two (...) (22 years ago, 11-Nov-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

  Re: Minifig Generator Plugin for LDDesignPad Version 1.3
 
(...) Your part records have the following form name:num.dat You add ":" at the end of "name" but when extracting "num.dat" you scan ":" from the start!! As a result I can't extend MiniPart.ini because all unofficial parts in my Parts directory have (...) (22 years ago, 10-Nov-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Ring and Axle Hole fit
 
Is there a reason why the axle hole primitives don't fit exactly to the ring/cylinder/edge primitves placed around them? Is this a program anomaly or decimal place issue? Is there a reason why most of the axle holes are carried to 2 decimal places (...) (22 years ago, 7-Nov-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Minifig Generator Plugin for LDDesignPad Version 1.3
 
(...) Great! All seems ok now. I only regret the absence of a "x10 increment". Another great plugin that justifies LDDP just by itself. Thanks Orion, Damien (22 years ago, 6-Nov-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
