(...) 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 (...)

(...) 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)

(...) 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)
