Agreed. It is 2.5 D rather than a 3 D solid modeling lang. That's prolly why
noone has done any really nifty shape bashing stuff like calculating
interferences...

The main asset of the "DAT Format" is the LDraw parts library.  Excepting
maybe whatever element-resource is used by the building instruction people
in LEGO, I believe the LDraw library is the largest collection of LEGO
elements.

No I believe Conan's collection is the largest collection of LEGO elements.
(oh, you mean *different* elements :-) and modeled, too ) <GD&R>
