Announcing Mac Brick CAD...

   OK, questions from a *rank* novice at this stuff - ie, somebody who
shouldn't even remotely be involved in an alpha release, but...

many bushings hanging in mid-space when I display the forklift)? And on a
possibly related question, I never get asked what the LDRAW file is (I popped
it into the folder, so it *may* have found it, but...). What LDRAW file would

Titanium G4 laptop) for a class I'll be teaching this fall (this last year,
was, well... interesting).
   Any tips/hints/advice for the clueless? So far I've not gotten any of the
Mac offerings to work successfully.

Announcing Mac Brick CAD (MBC) - formally known as Ldraw Viewer. I guess the program has matured enough to reach Alpha status and a new name as well.
