I hate to bring this up, but I've noticed some of the Mac related
questions I get may be because the tutorials are all MLCad specific.
Is it possible to include information on that page how to do it on
Mac with Bricksmith?
There is something wrong with the table on that webpage. Using
Firefox or Safari on Mac, steps 7 to 13 are crammed into a small
column on the far right hand side of the screen leaving a large white
empty space.
Wiki is sounding VERY enticing at this point!
