(...) I've used LDraw tools to design a loft my children's bedroom, and to design a corner unit for my wife's craft work. I think I posted both designs to one of the lugnet.cad.dat groups. Steve (23 years ago, 6-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.mlcad, lugnet.cad)

(...) I have started to create my own sf universe, so I came up to make 3D-maps of the galaxy and their states. For this I used ML-Cad and LDView to view it. Also I started to create Starships without bricks, only as polygone models. CU Bernd (23 years ago, 6-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.mlcad, lugnet.cad)
