 | | Restrictions on color use in parts and subparts
|
|
Question 27 in Ldraw FAQ gives color codes but not restrictions in use. Where is reference info for color use in parts/subparts? This info should be included in ldraw specification and reviewer materials. Thanks, Damien (23 years ago, 22-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) 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.

(...) 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)
