| (...) OK, obviously I couldn't figure out how to get that info out of Idelfonso's list! THANKS (to both of you) for posting this! If there are any other non-LDD/LDraw users out there who want DXF conversions of these files I could share these as (...) (20 years ago, 12-Nov-04, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.mlcad)

| Hi all, Thanks to Ildefonso I have made a Favorites group for MLCad of the parts allowed to use in the LEGOfactory competion.

In your case the angles beams instead of the inside one. (...) (20 years ago, 5-Nov-04, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.mlcad)

| (...) Hi, I now understand that the geometry not a perfect fit is, so we cannot expect LDraw to fit the part correct. It did occur to me to adjust the connector so that it does fit, but thought the picture looked good enough. Jaco (20 years ago, 5-Nov-04, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.mlcad)

The triangle has perpendicular sides 5 plates (2 studs) and 14 plates, giving a hypotenuse length of 14.87 plates, or slightly less than 6 studs, so as you've found, the 1x8 (...)
