(...) Thanks, Philo. I think you are right - I am missing the subpart. I am not seeing how to download it though. I am not the brightest light when doing these types of things. Jonathan (14 years ago, 25-Mar-11, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) I agree that this seems a good fit for WebGL, but there is one problem. LDraw.org is FAR too slow to serve up the part files for a web-based viewer without driving the user crazy. A plugin could install a local copy of the parts library. (...) (14 years ago, 24-Mar-11, to lugnet.cad.dev)
