No need for breaking it up if you use MLCad. On top of the window with used
parts is Active Model. Just select the model here.

Hi Jack,

I used LDraw to make the model, so I'm not sure what the preview X's are • in
MLCad.  I can help you with your other question though.

There are a bunch of programs you can use to collect multi-part models • into one
file.  The one I used is MP Builder by Jacob Sparre Anderse.  It can be
downloaded at

http://hugin.ldraw.org/meyer/LEGO/V%e6rkt%f8j/

To reverse this process, you can use Jacob's MPD Splitter, which can also • be
downloaded from that same site.  To run it, just put a copy of it in the • same
directory asthe MPD files, and type:

splitmpd <LEGOATST.mpd

Of course, substitute whatever the filename is in place of LEGOATST.

If you have trouble with this, let me know, and I can put the non-MPD • files on
my webpage.

Hope this helps,
shaun

I apologize for lack of terminology.  Here is the question:

I downloaded the AT-ST model posted a couple days ago, and want to build • it.
But it is a "multi" file or whatever they are called, and only has 5 or • so
parts at the top level.  I really want to drill down into these and see • how
they are made.  But short of manually editing the dat file, how can I do
this?

One more thing.  The preview pictures show big red x's.  (MLCAD 1.5) How • can
I get proper pictures put in there?

Is there a document which contains answers to these questions?

That's IT! THank you so much. That is exactly what I wanted to be able to do. But I wish someone would answer the preview X question. What is the proper way to make previews of things? --Jack Gregory Mogens Sørensen <Djelle@get2net.dk> wrote in (...) (25 years ago, 17-Dec-99, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
