(...) No, it isn't. BUT, there is very little functional difference between what is currently written and the suggestion above. As far as the function of a rendering engine is concerned, there is no difference -- if a file doesn't specify the (...) (25 years ago, 3-Apr-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

  Re: LDraw Add-On 2.1.2 Now Available
 
I just decided to update my LDAO, and ran into almost the exact same problems, I _can_ generate the images for the VEC, but I can't display them. It's the oddest behaviour: When I open the catalogue, it's like almost all of the images is invisible, (...) (25 years ago, 3-Apr-00, to lugnet.cad)
