I'd wanted to do this for a long time but never got around to it.  POV seems
to make it easy :-)  There is just one macro that will create a brick of any
dimensions.

Hello Scott. Those Lego bricks look pretty good. You might want to 
shorten the height of the pegs and make them a little wider to more 
closely match the real thing. Got a really small ruler? :)

I have a digital caliper, but unfortunately no lego bricks!  I just had to
guess what looked right :-)  I found a few dimensions on the net, but
nothing very accurate for the details.

Me too! :-) Actually, the "castle" macros I'm working on were originally 
going to be for leggo blocks. Then I went on vacation and looked at 
castles and got distracted. ;-)

Hi

Nice. You could spend a lot of time with Lego when you should be doing
more important thigs ;)

You may like to check Anton Raves' site:
http://www.antonraves.com/lego.html

I believe there should be some macros there, or at least, some useful
downloads.

I think these guys have pretty accurate dimensions.
