(...) For a quick custom, you can use BMP2DAT32 (if I remember the name right). It comes out with mediocre quality (usually), but it's easier than redrawing your graphic in LDraw vector commands. Steve (23 years ago, 22-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Why not 8 subparts? There are 8 symmetric sections in this part. If you're going to use subfiles to reduce the overall datasize, go all the way. :) Unfortunately, cutting out a 1/8 slice of the part might force some unnatural cuts. If this is (...)

(...) Thanks for posting the comment along with the file. I think that was a good idea. Considering that we haven't heard from Chris Alano in awhile, I think it's ok that you posted the file. Steve (23 years ago, 22-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) That's been my view as well. In addition, is disk space usage really a factor? I mean, I have a small (3 gig) hard drive, and my whole LDraw file set takes up only a couple megs. For someone with a less archaic system than mine, the storage (...) (23 years ago, 22-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) Right, but what I want to say is that if the filesize is to big the file needs a lot of time to render. When this is splitted into subfiles the renderer only needs to read smaller subfile. This saves rendertime. Bernd (23 years ago, 22-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) But remember that file size is only a consideration if it makes a difference to the total number of disk clusters it uses. If your disk is formatted to have 4Kb clusters each file takes 4Kb.

(...) In general it's the symmetry, the file size or many repeating items of the part that makes sence to use subparts. In your case you can split it into 4 subparts, each one quarter of the file. So you could save filesize. e.g. only one track-end (...) (23 years ago, 22-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
