I downloaded copies of LDraw and MLcad a few days ago, and I’ve been building digital versions of a few of my models, but I ran into a couple of problems:

1. Using MLcad, I couldn’t get this piece to close flush to this piece. There was either a little gap at the top (just enough to be annoying), or a huge gap at the bottom (enough to really stand out). I haven’t tried out any of the other interfaces, but I juggled the numbers by hand a bit, and I was able to come up with a clean match after about 4 tries. If anyone is interested in borrowing the numbers, here’s the DAT file:

0 ROTATION CENTER 0 0 0 1 “Custom”
0 ROTATION CONFIG 0 0
1 0 -39 -48 -4 0 0 1 0 1 0 -1 0 0 30200.DAT
1 57 -76 -121 -5 0 0.686637 -0.727 0 0.727 0.686637 1 0 0 2418B.DAT
0

2. While I was building my latest model, I discovered that part #2463 has portions inside the lower corners that aren’t shading with the rest of the part. I noticed this because when I attached it to a different colored part, I could see the studs through the gaps on the outside of the base, but I couldn’t on the model (yes, I checked to make sure the studs were lined up correctly). If you look at this from either outside angle, you can see that the portions of the yellow studs that are sticking up inside of the part are still visible, but there’s a thin black line intersecting them, which is where the interior panel isn’t shading with the rest of it. Is that intentional?

0 ROTATION CENTER 0 0 0 1 “Custom”
0 ROTATION CONFIG 0 0
1 0 4.477 -131.572 -9 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 2463.DAT
1 14 -35.522 -106 1.477 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 3005.DAT
1 14 4.478 -106 -38.523 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 3005.DAT
0

3. And finally, this is a long shot, but I’ve got to ask anyways...does anyone have any plans to make a DAT file for the Ninja wrap?

(...) For some unknown reason, part 2463 is pretty much an empty shell with no bottom at all. It has edge lines on the bottom out in empty space, but no surfaces. It appears that this file hasn't been touched since 1999. It's not currently on the (...) (20 years ago, 25-Jul-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, FTX)

(...) Aack! This would've been a nice part to (URL) 3D Scan>. But short of FedExing the part to me at my hotel (as I don't have one on hand) that's probably not gonna happen.. I could try to have one of my students take a stab at it in 3DStudio or (...) (20 years ago, 25-Jul-04, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.mlcad, lugnet.cad.dat.ideas, lugnet.cad.dat.parts, FTX)
