Does anyone know if there is a place either on lugnet or the web where the building instructions (in .dat format) for all or most of the lego sets that lego has made and we have on the lugnet set search are? Has anyone undertaken this project? (...) (24 years ago, 22-Jan-01, to lugnet.cad)

(...) The code at sgi has an option to sort them by depth. It's not perfect though, and it uses a lot of memory since you have to push ALL the triangles through the feedback buffer before you sort. That's a lot of triangles and postscript is quite (...) (24 years ago, 22-Jan-01, to lugnet.cad)
