| (...) It scares me to answer this question... The plan is to have it in the ballroom. But, if this becomes dangerous to MOCs in the room, then we may need to reconsider. Regardless the ceiling in the ballroom is about 25 feet up. Good luck :) Bryan (16 years ago, 30-May-08, to lugnet.events.brickworld, lugnet.build.contests, lugnet.castle, FTX)

| | | | | Re: New Ldraw parts authors tool: Projector

| (...) I was curious if it was a direct projection or an area preserving one. A nice variant might be to write an area preserving variant although that would get quite complex. Tim (17 years ago, 8-May-08, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.vikings, lugnet.castle, FTX)
