LeoCAD is a CAD program that allows people to build virtual models using
|
|
|
|
|
bricks similar to those found in LEGO toys. It's available for free under
|
|
|
|
|
the GNU Public License v2, and works on the Windows and Linux Operating
|
|
|
|
|
Systems.

Installation
|
|
|
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can download the latest version of LeoCAD and its Pieces Library from
|
|
|
|
|
the main website at http://www.leocad.org
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It's recommended that you install the latest drivers for your video card,
|
|
|
|
|
since LeoCAD can take advantage of hardware acceleration for rendering by
|
|
|
|
|
using OpenGL.
