Alex,

I think that's a great idea! :)  A couple of years ago I was thinking that
any construction toy could be modeled in L-Cad, and I was quite excited to
release the most basic parts of K'nex in the LDraw file format.

As you can see on that page, I had hopes to complete other building sets
too, but they never got finished. This vision continued when I created this
completely unofficial website for a college web design project, a kind of
LDraw.org for many construction toys: VirtualConstruction.

I'd love to see more construction kits put into the LDraw format!
