Well, I hate to see a great idea met with (almost complete) silence. So I
just want to add my bit in here... I think this is a great idea! I'm kind
of new to using the various CAD software, but I'd love to take a try at
this. :-)
Hmmm. Reading the message again leaves me guessing. Are you planning to
hand around a DAT file? If so, I might try to take a stab at this with you.
Are there going to be some guidelines? Maximum size of addition, number of
pieces or anything like that? Are you allowed to "punch holes" in existing
walls to add doorways? That is replace bricks in certain walls to simulate
a new doorway?
I could see arguments for both sides of this. If multiple people are
limited in some way, then that keeps the castle evolving, without one person
putting too much of their personal stamp on the structure. LMKWYT.
Another idea could be to have several copies of the base castle to begin
with, and have different people begin to modify them at the same time.
Parallel evolution? :-)

| I'll add my 2 cents for the heck of it. If we were to hand around a .DAT file, I'm hoping that everyone has a 700mhz PII or faster to open and edit the .DAT file/s. I'm sure other's can attest to the fact some of these .DAT files take forever to (...) (24 years ago, 2-Nov-00, to lugnet.castle.org.cw)

| (...) I wasn't planning on doing this as a .dat file, no. I'm not great at visualizing 2D-->3D, and my CAD attempts to date have mostly been lame. I was planning on this being a "real" project. Some more guidelines that I've been turning around in (...) (24 years ago, 2-Nov-00, to lugnet.castle.org.cw)
