Is there a contemporaneous format to which LCD could apply? (honest • question)

I would assume BlockCAD.  Anton?

Anton???
Anders!!!

No, LCD wouldn't apply to BlockCAD, as it already has it's own 'snap' system:

Everything is just a 'block', and can only be put 'on top' of other blocks.
The studs really don't _exist_, they are just painted. There are _no_ degrees
of freedom, and everything is sooo simple to code :-)

Though compatibility problems might arise if my assumption is correct about
center points on parts - if LCD is (and I believe it most definitely will
be) designed around the LDraw library, and that is a factor, an extra step
(conversion table) would have to be made to make LCD compatible with
BlockCAD or another format.

Not only center point, but also orientation of the part, but that's not really
a problem, just more data...
