Since I know what just about every peice is named in LDraw, I find ONYX's part search program much more useful than the VEC, so I've deleted my VEC dir (sorry Steve - I still use the other useful functions of LDAO, though) --Bram Bram Lambrecht / o (...) (26 years ago, 3-Apr-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

Can anyone explain how to intersect a quad? I'm sure I can figure it out on my own, but if someone knows of some straightforward formulae, I'd be very appreciative. Since this is for LDraw, I've got the following situation: Conditions: - Four points (...) (26 years ago, 3-Apr-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

It's got nothing to do with LDAO, but it is currently less than 1 MB. Of course, then you have to print it out. Or keep another program open and use "find" a lot. (26 years ago, 3-Apr-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
