i have an idea on how to make making elements easier that is free. what you need: max2dat ac3d (forget url) crossroads (folow link on ac3d page) what you do. make the element in ac3d. export it to a pov file. convert it to a 3d studio file with (...) (26 years ago, 30-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

steve, i have a small suggestion for your roadplates... how about making the flat surface hard coded color #7... (if you have already done that then disregard this post) so that if you make them green, say, they show up properly. i did this for the (...) (26 years ago, 30-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) I guess that takes care of the percentage of people who want to use the two parts in this fairly limited SW way.

(...) Umm, *anything* is allowed at the moment, since these meta-statements aren't used anywhere. But I'd suggest new parts should use the first word of their descriptive name as the first entry for 0 CATEGORY. Or at least that the category entry (...) (26 years ago, 29-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

What is LDS (sorry if I am being obtuse)? Also what is the exact behavior of INCLUDE? I assume the line will look like: 0 INCLUDE /include/file/path And if I remember correctly all the parts in the file are loaded into memory for use but not drawn. (...) (26 years ago, 29-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

Hi :-) I thought a bit about all this stud talk and reached a conclusion: is not worth the effort. I mean, nobody includes a touch sensor in it's model, in this case a transparent touch sensor, if does not intend to use it. And if you want to use (...) (26 years ago, 29-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) I tried that already, and it looks kind of strange, especially for transparent parts. For some reason, it just doesn't seem to look like the real instructions (IMO). Maybe I'm just too used to the default LDraw look...especially because the (...) (26 years ago, 29-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

Is anyone else bugged by the DAT extension? Does anyone else use other extensions for various flavors of (near-)LDraw source files? I stick with DAT for vanilla LDraw files.
