| | New Touch Sensor
|
|
I was looking at the new parts for LDraw and was pleased to see that the '879 Touch Sensor' was not called 'MindStorms Touch Sensor' as it might have been, since the '8482 CyberMaster' also includes tree of these. For those who don't know, the (...) (26 years ago, 26-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Cool. I have it implemented and it works tolerably well. (...) modelling (...) Rokenbok is mostly not compatible, only the plates have the requisite nubs on them. But that is cool since you can build any Lego construction off the plates and (...) (26 years ago, 25-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) I suggested this for LDraw2. I think Jacob is including some variation of this idea. And Paul Gyugyi is actively talking about supporting this in LDLite. I think (but I'm not sure) Lars is going this way in L3P as well. (...) One thing Gyug is (...) (26 years ago, 25-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) I second Steve's request for a good way to see _all_ the type 5 lines. A _feature_ in LDraw is convenient in this respect - you can change the 5s to 2s and LDraw willl ignore the spurious data at the end of the line. I think LDLite ignores (...) (26 years ago, 25-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

| | LDlite "Black" not really Black...
|

I noticed that In LDlite, "black" is not really black... it is not quite R:0;G:0;B:0. I know that that works well for lego parts, but it would be nice if it would render true black when you select black for the background color. --Karim (26 years ago, 24-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
