(...) Wow, a blast from the Future that Never Was. Very cool. Where's the robot Elvis, though? Oh, and how do you get your models to float? <grins, ducks and runs> ++Lar (24 years ago, 2-Apr-00, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build, lugnet.town, lugnet.cad.ray)

  Re: L3PLiTE?
 
(...) I think this is a little too much for the task, you don't need to try to remove the interior too, it won't make a big difference. Think of a 2x2 plate, if you can remove the stud4, you're saving 48 quads, 64 lines and 32 optional lines while (...) (24 years ago, 30-Mar-00, to lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: L3PLiTE?
 
(...) In this case you could leave out the interior of the 2x2, but you must use the entire top of the 4x4. In the case of solid wall like structures, however, it could reduce 90% of the blocks to no interiour, and no studs. -Chuck (24 years ago, 30-Mar-00, to lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) It does take some extra time to load a big file but the speed increase later is well worth it. After doing the initial calculations, you only need to check the studs for the bricks you move so it's very fast. Leonardo (24 years ago, 29-Mar-00, to lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.cad.dev)

Leonardo: (...) So in "every" part you have put a "stud-slot-point" in all the places where a stud from another part can connect with this part. So if a stud on a non-transparent part is at the stud-slot of another non-transparent part, it is (...) (24 years ago, 29-Mar-00, to lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.cad.dev)
