  Re: MLCAD mirrored submodels - Help please
 
(...) If the program isn't acting funny, the last part above it is flipped (step commands doesn't have rotation matrixes) and perhaps the part above that etc.. So if you can find the initial part that got flipped and sort everthing after that you (...) (19 years ago, 25-Aug-05, to lugnet.cad.mlcad, FTX)
 
  Re: MLCAD mirrored submodels - Help please
 
(...) In his case it sounds more like a 180 degree flip. (...) Like I suggested, adding the file at the top and moving it down cleans the orientation. Actually I think it can be a really nice feature when you wish to recreate a complex wing, so you (...) (19 years ago, 25-Aug-05, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
 
  Re: MLCAD mirrored submodels - Help please
 
(...) Hi Torben, To mirror you need to edit the rotation matrix by hand. It is easiest to do if you have only rotated in 90 degree angles in which case you just put a negative sign in front of one of the entries and that mirrors along that axis. (...)

  Re: MLCAD mirrored submodels - Help please
 
(...) Thanks Niels - you're absolutely right. Inserting the submodel higher up and moving it down sorts it. Plus new things underneath are sorted as well. However, I'd be very grateful to know how to mirror, if you could please. In this case (...) (19 years ago, 24-Aug-05, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
 
  Re: MLCAD mirrored submodels - Help please
 
(...) MLCad usually orient any new part like the one before, so it sounds like you mirrored the previous part accidentally. So you should be able to fix the problem by unmirroring the second last part. If you don't know how, insert the part in top (...) (19 years ago, 24-Aug-05, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
 
  MLCAD mirrored submodels - Help please
 
I've recently started using MLCAD v3.2 and assembling 8862. I've been using sub-models sucessfully, but came to add a fourth and found that when the parts are in the main model they are mirrored from what I drew in the submodel. It is the same in (...)

(...) And that is a very good choice! The LDRAW format plus MLCad has really spread 'virtual Lego building' around the globe. MLCad really makes *real* Lego CAD affordable and attainable for everyone! Congratulations Michael! Well deserved. (19 years ago, 15-Aug-05, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw, lugnet.cad.mlcad)

(...) Ummm I think there may be a little confusion :) Only 2 of those pics are rendered: (URL) and (URL) (19 years ago, 13-Aug-05, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
 
  Re: Is Lsynth being used to make string?
 
(...) You rendered that?! Oh my goodness, that looks real! That is some awesome work. Did you lose Lgeo models for the heads to make them look smooth? (19 years ago, 13-Aug-05, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
 
  Re: Is Lsynth being used to make string?
 
(...) For the renders in this model (URL) I used a spreadsheet to work out positions for 4-4cyli.dat primitives to create 1/4 and 1/2 torii, and then just long 4-4cyli.dats for the straight sections. There are now torus primitives available in (...) (19 years ago, 12-Aug-05, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
