I figure if they can't deliver the product, why (...) (26 years ago, 16-Feb-99, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade, lugnet.trains, lugnet.market.shopping)

Hi Put me also to level 3 I did some searches on the internet some month ago. Here a good comparison. It seems to me that the mrc stuff could be a solution for our lego train problems. Daniel Heppler Burgdorf, Switzerland Matthew Bates schrieb in (...) (26 years ago, 15-Feb-99, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Well, my order has already been sent to the manufacturer, they are going to drop-ship them direct. Unfortunately, they do NOT include the 6649 and 6535 anymore.

(...) I'm not too familiar with LDraw, can I call it with a design (.DAT file) and a viewpoint and get back a bitmap somehow? Matt (26 years ago, 16-Feb-99, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) A stand-alone utility could call LDraw (or LDLite) to produce the images, but extract the (port) information directly from the .DAT file. Calling into LDraw/LDLite is pretty easy -- both programs are command-line driven. The utility would have (...) (26 years ago, 16-Feb-99, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Track Designer can already automatically rotate [1] and scale any new bitmap that you give it. I'm not sure why you would want to do this in an image editor?

This sounds like an excellent idea, however I'm not sure how to implement it. If it were a built in feature of Track Designer it would require that the entire rendering engine of LDraw be built into TD. A bit daunting! If it were built into LDraw, (...)

Yep, that was EXACTLY what I was thinking of. The convertor should create the needed views (all the rotations), and if it can handle the scaling too, so much the better. Just scaling bitmaps down in an image editor gives weird artifacts if you're (...) (26 years ago, 16-Feb-99, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.cad.dev)
