 | | Rounding Utility?
|
|
Has anybody made a rounding utility? I mean, put dat files with numbers like 0.5369117673 in and get 0.537 out. I'd prefer it as an LDDP plugin, but a standalone program will do, too. /Tore (21 years ago, 26-Aug-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) I calculate c = 5300 / 3 = 1766.667 The math: c^2 = (c-120)^2 + 640^2 c^2 = c^2 - 240*c + 120^2 + 640^2 0 = -240*c + 424000 240*c = 424000 c = 424000 / 240 = 5300 / 3 = 1766.667 Hope this helps. John (21 years ago, 26-Aug-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)

It looks like the I could create quick mockups for the ramps if only I could calculte the radius of a thought circle made of MR ramps. Here's a triangle with a 90 deg's angle AB and the hypotenuse c equlas the radius: a=640 b=c-120 c=<unknown> That (...) (21 years ago, 26-Aug-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) ... I've gotten all of the monorail track modeled and working (sort of) in TrackDraw. Here's what I ended up with: - Most monorail track has a connection of type '1'. Type '1' just means that it mates with other monorail pieces of type '1'. - (...) (21 years ago, 26-Aug-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Another reason could be that it is not possible to connect any other monorail part between them. All other MR track have a male connector to the left and at female to the right. But the upper side of the lower ramp part has two male (...) (21 years ago, 26-Aug-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)
