(...) With respect to the RGB and the CMYK numbers... I did a bit of quick reading about the two color specification models. If I understood it correctly, RGB is more oriented towards monitor displays, while CMYK (subtractive) is intended to specify (...) (21 years ago, 30-Aug-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)

  Re: Official LEGO Color Chart
 
(...) The way I see it, we probably will never switch to calling colors by their LEGO names - some, like 'Lig. Yellowich Orange' just don't work for me :) It would be nice to correlate the names we use to the entries in the table. For that matter, (...) (21 years ago, 30-Aug-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Official LEGO Color Chart
 
(...) After staring at this list for a while, I think it will be a sea change to use some of these names. For example: color #25 is called 'Earth Orange'. To my eye, this looks much darker than the color of a Kaadu (which we have called earth (...) (21 years ago, 30-Aug-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)

  Official LEGO Color Chart

  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)

  Re: Help on Equation (Was: modeling monorail ramps)
 
(...) 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)
