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. (URL) you can see on that (...) (19 years ago, 15-Oct-05, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, lugnet.cad.dev)
