That looks very good.
I have also made an attempt to build a viewer, but it is also very limited in
what it can do (very little files if you do not wait an hour, no optional lines,
but it could read subfiles).
As I discovered that it is quite easy to write a viewer for some lines, but
much, much for effort to have a quick working LDraw viewer I left that project
and asked for a DLL from the current working LDraw viewer that I can use in my
apps.
So at present I am still searching for such a .NET DLL for a viewer that can be
used on all OS without to be recompiled.
