  Re: Mirroring models
 
(...) Unfortunately none of the CAD proggies (that I'm familiar with) support an automated mirror function. Hopefully we can add that to Michael's "todo" list for MLCAD. If the wings truly are identical you can probably get close by copying and (...) (24 years ago, 8-Dec-00, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

  Mirroring models
 
Can anyone tell me how to mirror a model in MLCad or LDraw? I'm currently utilizing MLCad to make dat files of my Imperial Shuttle, and I've completed the left wing for it. I'd like to simply mirror the right wing, since it's an exact symetrical (...) (24 years ago, 8-Dec-00, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

  Re: MLCAD Suggestions
 
Chuck, do you mean a dll which generates some dat-lines to be included into the model? Than the idea is good, but the dll must be able to edit that as well. I mean assume the user generates something from the dll, and later he desides to change (...) (24 years ago, 8-Dec-00, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
