  Re: Newbie Question
 
(...) Yeah, the part I am having trouble with is the "normalizing" of parts. In my 7834final.dat file, I have two "parts" that are marked with a red circle instead of a green brick...these are the two submodels (7834fig.dat and guardhouse.dat) that (...)

  Re: Newbie Question
 
Ok, I think I understand. If I understand correctly, you just want to place the sub files into your main file so that they display in the correct place? Try this: Drop down the Active Model list, just above the list of pieces in your model. Remember (...) (23 years ago, 17-Dec-01, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
 
  Save Picture Options

For instance...if I copy the pieces that make up the minifig file and then change the active model to the guardhouse file, I cannot paste those pieces in. (...)

  Re: Newbie Question
 
Thomas, You can make your main file an MPD and load the extra models into it. On the Main Menu, select "MultiPart", then "Import Model...". That might do what you'd like. Hope that helps. ( Haven't interacted with you since Brickfest. :-) Hope all (...) (23 years ago, 17-Dec-01, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
 
  Newbie Question
 
I have modeled the 7834 Level crossing in MLCAD. The finished file is called 7834final.dat and contains two "custom parts" 7834fig.dat and guardhouse.dat. How can I get the two "parts" to show up as their constituent pieces in MLCAD so that I can (...) (23 years ago, 17-Dec-01, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

Hi all, I find the next version of ML-CAD should have a search option for keywords, used in some files. CU Bernd (23 years ago, 16-Dec-01, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
