I’m not conversant with LGEO or the like; what would the filename format be
for these alternate parts? That is, if a 2x4 brick is 3001.dat, what’s the
equivalent name of the LGEO version? I ask because I like sticking with the
DAT suffix, and using the official part names (3001) simply makes the most
sense.

See also my reply on Tore Eriksson message. It would be called 3001.pov and
has the same information in it as the ‘else’ portion of the current dat files
(although without the leading 0’s, it would be pure povray script).

So perhaps you are hinting on maintainability or mixed single files (because
even subfiles would work ok using a mirror tree, aslong they use the same
scale and orientation (or are supplied with a transformation key).
|
Not sure I understand this part. Are you suggesting that the inlined POV-Ray
code might be housed in a subfile? I could see that working, actually,
though I’m not the person to generate the protocols to parse it.
|
I mean you could only put eg a p\stud.pov in the mirror tree and the
converter tools would use the pov version for all studs in the scene when
generating the povray version of the scene.

LDView already has the ability to do this automatic replacement during POV
export:
- Create a POV directory inside your LDraw directory
- Put p an parts directories in the POV directory
- Drop in POV files with the same filenames as the original .dat files (but with a .inc extension instead of .dat). (Note that the last #declare in the file is expected to be the #declare for the file’s geometry.)
- Check the “Search for POV replacements for LDraw parts” check box in the Native POV Geometry box of the POV Export Options dialog in LDView.
Note that I don’t remember off the top of my head what happens if you have that
checked along with “Use XML mapping file”. I think the POV replacements only
happen for files that don’t get found in the XML mapping.
