How does one add rubber bands (the kind that come with a lot of Technic sets, esp. the star wars sets) to a model in MLCad, or any other lego cad program for that matter? Thanks, -Peter (24 years ago, 16-Aug-00, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

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)

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.
