Last night I had a thought ... wouldn't it be really cool if MLCad could verify that a model was constructed "correctly"? In simple terms it could check to see if any bricks overlapped others, and also make sure that bricks were aligned against (...) (24 years ago, 7-Nov-00, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

I was thinking on that too, but this might be a bit confusing when parts are not like a box, like you said most of the technic parts. But sure this is also a possibility. Michael Anders Isaksson <isaksson.etuna@REMO...tninet.se> schrieb in im (...) (24 years ago, 7-Nov-00, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

In previous versions, if I recall correctly, double-clicking on a part in the view panes performed the same operation as double-clicking on a part in the element listing... it brings up the part# modification dialog. It would be nice to have that (...) (24 years ago, 4-Nov-00, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

It sure would ! I was thinking along these lines a few days ago and I tried a small experiment. I manually edited copies of the .dat files for the basic bricks that my model uses and removed all of the "extraneous" quads and studs so that each part (...)

(...) Yes, it would help. How about having an option to draw all prior steps in wireframe mode? Or have a meta-statement to turn wireframe off and on? Either of those might be easier to use than flagging specific parts. Steve (24 years ago, 3-Nov-00, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

Beside the fact that the next release will be faster than 1.99R1 :-) I have another idea: What if would be possible to mark certain parts for outline or wire-frame drawing? Would that be of any help? Michael (24 years ago, 3-Nov-00, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

One thing you could also do is to use the 'hide' feature. When you select parts and activate 'hide" from the menu or tool-bar (the light's) the part will not be drawn anymore until you make it visible again from the menu or tool-bar (show, show (...) (24 years ago, 3-Nov-00, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
