  Re: Suggestion?
 
(...) Could you start using sub-models. I've found it is a lot easier to break down models into sub-models. I can then work in an uncluttered view of just the area I'm working on. I've been doing mostly mechs, so it is real easy to break things (...) (24 years ago, 15-Aug-00, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
 
  Re: MLCAD rotation (future request)
 
Ok, I will think on this too. Just a summary: There are four options for a single part rotation: 1 - Rotate via origin of the part 2 - Rotate via center of part 3 - rotate via world origin(0/0/0) and 4 - rotate over a user set rotation point. For (...) (24 years ago, 15-Aug-00, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
 
  Re: Suggestion?
 
The sounds like a good idea. However you should check your settings, and see if the Position for new part is not centered, and the draw to selection only option is disabled .... this slows down very much. Thanks, Michael Adam Howard (...) (24 years ago, 15-Aug-00, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
 
  Suggestion?
 
Hi Mike! I've been working on a large model and have run into the slowwwiiiinnnnggg-dowwn wall. Whenever I add a new piece or rotate a selected one it seems to take forever. I'm not sure, but I believe it is because MLCAD re-renders the whole model (...) (24 years ago, 15-Aug-00, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

  Re: MLCAD rotation (future request)
 
It would also help if there were menu commands/tool buttons to move the rotation point to the world origin or the local origin. Steve "who posted all these messages while I was on vacation?" Bliss (...) (24 years ago, 13-Aug-00, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
 
  Golden Astronaut helmets? and Breastplates?
 
Hi, I'm using MLCad to model an "Original Model" (6457 from 1999, sorry no scan on brickshelf) for the inventory and model repository; but with a few pieces, I'm pretty much stumped: 1) MLCad doesn't seem to have a color for those "golden" helmets.

  Re: tubing
 
(...) If I ever had to model string I probably would use a scaled cylinder... I would like to see your part become official! It's very useful. (24 years ago, 8-Aug-00, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.mlcad)
 
  Re: tubing
 
(...) I don't think that users would normally want to scale parts. The part you were presented with just now is probably the exception: No other parts in the LDraw library should be scaled to other sizes than the ones they come in. But then again, (...)

  Re: tubing
 
(...) Cool. That worked. I had to edit the MPD by hand, though, I could not just edit the matrix values in MLCad directly. I think I found an MLCad quirk though. With non unit scaling/rotation factors I found that I could not move the part in the (...) (24 years ago, 8-Aug-00, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.mlcad)
 
  Re: MLCAD rotation (future request)
 
I will but this onto the list for V2.1 since V2.0 is in testing phase right now, there are a lot of nice little things in this version, and I don't like to make this version unstable now.

  MLCAD rotation (future request)
 
I know I've brought this up before.. and I still feel it is an important point. The current method of roation if MLCAD is far more limited than the method available in LEdit.

  Re: how do I combine 2 models in mlcad to render one image?
 
yes, just open one part of you model (most likely the center.) then rightclick on the modeling area, go to add, then part. then click custom part and load your other dat file. thats it! (24 years ago, 5-Aug-00, to lugnet.cad.mlcad, lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  how do I combine 2 models in mlcad to render one image?
 
I'm trying to make a rendered image of my microfig space ship. I was planning on making 4 seperate models in mlcad and then combining them into one file so I could then render the whole ship.
