I've updated the macros again. Lots of changes and a few bug fixes. All road objects are now solid and can be used within CSG operations. Added optional road embankments. The angle of the embankment is determined by the embankment slope and sky (...) (16 years ago, 21-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad.ray, FTX)

Hello all, Just recently I bought a web domain and started a small site. One of the first things on my list was a decent FastRad tutorial, because before I was limited to text-only with Brickshelf. I tried to make it as simple as possible, with (...) (16 years ago, 13-Sep-08, to lugnet.cad.ray, FTX)

(...) Thanks! Automatically adding road signs, street lamps, etc., would be nice. Also, IIRC, someone wrote a utility for creating LDraw bridges. But I am busy with other things right now and will have to get back to it later. -Mike (16 years ago, 6-Jul-08, to lugnet.cad.ray, FTX)

I've updated my LDraw road macro for POV-Ray. The macros have mostly been combined into a single item and now use a more convenient syntax. I've also added an Archemedes spiral in addition to the Nautilus spiral, and removed the dependancy on Chris (...) (16 years ago, 25-Jun-08, to lugnet.cad.ray, FTX)

(...) Could L3P be modified to use the mesh2 primitive? I notice also that L3P doesn't output the "insidevector" parameter, so LDraw creations can't be used in CSG operations. This is disappointing. -Mike (16 years ago, 17-Jun-08, to lugnet.cad.ray, FTX)
