    *** Start celebrating .... NOW —Michael Lachmann
   Hi, (URL) reasons for celebration. First of all there is MLCad V3.00: It comes with a new look and four integrated generators for minifigs, rubber bands, springs and flexible hoses. Check it out :-) There is also the beginning of the developer (...) (22 years ago, 14-Dec-02, to lugnet.cad.mlcad) !

     Hmmm...I've downloaded this twice and both times I wound up with a corrupted zip file. Is this a problem on your end or mine. Thanks, Will Bricksburg Fire Department: (URL) Bricksburg Depot: (URL) (22 years ago, 14-Dec-02, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

        Re: *** Start celebrating .... NOW —Joel Hoornbeek
     Hi Michael, Thanks for the new version! I'm really looking forward to using some of the new features. I've been testing the mini-fig generator, but I keep getting errors when I try to load it. Specifically, it is looking for 981.dat, 982.dat and (...) (22 years ago, 15-Dec-02, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

     (...) The latest LDraw update (2002-5) has the new Minifig hand(983) and arms(981/982). The Partsref lists the old hand(977)and arms(975/976) which are now considered obsolete. If you haven't downloaded the new update at LDraw.org then do so and (...) (22 years ago, 15-Dec-02, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

     (...) Is there a doc anywhere describing how to use the MLCAD hose generator? I've been trying understand how all the points contribute to the curve but must be missing something obvious. Jennifer (22 years ago, 22-Dec-02, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
    
         Re: *** Start celebrating .... NOW —Fredrik Glöckner

If MLCAD uses Bézier curves to model the bent hoses, you may find some information on the internet about this technique: An interactive demo: (URL) is a more mathematical approach: (URL) may also like to see my own description of how I handle (...)

         Re: *** Start celebrating .... NOW —Orion Pobursky
     (...) I think the most confusing aspect of the existing curve program, with the exception of Fredrik's, is the fact that the control points are tricky to position correctly. Fredriik's LDraw mode solves this by dynamically determining the control (...) (22 years ago, 27-Dec-02, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
    
         Re: *** Start celebrating .... NOW —Jennifer Clark
     (...) If memory serves me well, in Fredrik's Ldraw mode you specified the endpoints in terms of orientation as well as coordinates, stated the number of joints and it calculated the rest. Certainly a good system for many instances as that (...) (22 years ago, 27-Dec-02, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
    
         Re: *** Start celebrating .... NOW —Jennifer Clark
      (...) Some progress - myself and a CAD expert mucked about a bit until we realised the obvious thing I was missing, the fact that the control point coordinates are specified relative to the end points and not in absolute coordinates!

         Re: *** Start celebrating .... NOW —Fredrik Glöckner
     (...) This sounds like a shortcut in the algorithm. If the bezier function is f(t), it does not have the property that |f(t) - f(t+d)| = c for all t, d given. I've corrected for this in my algorithm by using some simple optimization to find a (...) (22 years ago, 28-Dec-02, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
