  Re: My first model,please look
 
That's nice. Have you considered rendering it with POV-RAY? This is a free program that is relatively easy to use and provides much better display than MLCAD. You still use MLCAD for all the editing, but then you run POV-RAY to create a nicer (...) (24 years ago, 30-Oct-00, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
 
  Re: My first model,please look
 
(...) Hi, I downloaded POV-RAY and didn't exactly understand it,its the type of program where most comands are type written,I'm not verry good at that and I don't like it either. I know the model would look great because the original model was done (...) (24 years ago, 30-Oct-00, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

Hi, You actually don't have to understand much about POV-RAY to use it. Just download L3P. You run that to covert the.dat file to a .pov.

(...) Well, I'm glad you learned to use a LEGO modelling program (I'm certainly too lazy to figure one out myself) but I have to ask exactly what you meant by first MLCAD model.

  Re: My first model,please look
 
(...) Yes thats what I meant. (...) I pointed this out at the bottom of the page,I also listed the URL for the original!! I didn't think that anyone would mind if I copied a model that I liked, and I still think the original is better,I just wanted (...) (24 years ago, 30-Oct-00, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
 
  RE: My first model,please look
 
(...) Yes, thanks for putting the note there. Generally, you may want to contact the original designer for permission when using his/her design, especially when your modifications are minor. (...) Glad you liked the model. (...) No harm done, --Bram (...) (24 years ago, 30-Oct-00, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
 
  Re: My first model,please look
 
... (...) Nope, MY fault for not viewing in a larger window (or scrolling down). You did right; like I said, I just wanted to make sure. My apologies for posting prematurely (yes, I know there's a horrible pun in there, but let's not go there =P) (...) (24 years ago, 30-Oct-00, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
 
  Re: My first model,please look
 
Gary, I don't care for command line parameter either. I created a simple batch file and called it CONVERT.BAT There is a variable, so all you type is CONVERT FILENAME No need for an extension. Also you'll have to change the directories. If you would (...) (24 years ago, 31-Dec-00, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
