| (...) Please don't go to a lot of trouble on my account! It's just that I usually post jpegs or bitmaps of things to my Brickshelf, since anyone can view them without any special software. I'm not seriously into CAD! If I had the facilities to (...) (21 years ago, 5-Feb-05, to lugnet.parts.custom, FTX)

| (...) Hi, Yeah, I'm working in ACIS Solids, then exporting to STL, then from STL2DAT. I'll try to do a few more this weekend and post the results to the same folder. Something to do between TO soundbytes, anyway. Is the DAT file helpful at all, or (...) (21 years ago, 5-Feb-05, to lugnet.parts.custom, FTX)

| (...) I've always found it interesting that 1x3 and 2x3 bricks and plates are the only odd length elements of those general categories. As you mention, there's no 1x5, no 2x5, no 1x7, no 2x9 and so on. I assume this is by design, but then you have (...) (21 years ago, 5-Feb-05, to lugnet.parts.custom, FTX)

| The piece I really want is 2x5 or 1x5 (or x7) bricks and plates. When building a MOC that's an odd number of studs wide, you have to either make it asymmetrical or use x1 and x3 bricks which aren't good for structural support. (21 years ago, 5-Feb-05, to lugnet.parts.custom, FTX)

| (...) If you're going to explore these kinds of things, I recommend you learn how to create LDraw parts (or what's easier, editing existing ones). It's really not that hard. Also in many cases you can get a pretty good approximatin by just (...) (21 years ago, 5-Feb-05, to lugnet.parts.custom, FTX)

| (...) Are you doing 3rd angle projection or 3D? 10 minutes is a lot less than it took me in Paint. I suppose once you're trained in AutoCAD, a lot of things are quick. Could you post jpegs of the results? I created bits like studs in the drawing and (...) (21 years ago, 4-Feb-05, to lugnet.parts.custom, FTX)

| (...) Thanks, I like to do a proper job :-) (...) Up to now, there is no plate to go with the 4x4 round brick and the half cylinders. This means that unless your round bricks have exactly 4 bricks between them, you can't support them at the side (...) (21 years ago, 4-Feb-05, to lugnet.parts.custom, FTX)
