(...) OK, so that leads to one of my desires in an upgraded (or different) GDL: level-of-detail control. Basically, there should be language elements that allow authors to flag the priority of different elements in a file -- so the main outside body (...) (21 years ago, 1-May-03, to lugnet.cad)

(...) I don't think that's really a fair and answerable question. As a parts designer, I'd rather work in the format that is (a) the least work for me and (b) gives me the results I want. As a parts designer, I'm not terribly concerned about (...) (21 years ago, 1-May-03, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Yes, I think it would be worth making these changes. However, I don't imagine that parts will be rejected from the library because their stud-orientation is bad. I know real-world stud-logos are more uniform than they were in the (distant) (...) (21 years ago, 1-May-03, to lugnet.cad)

Geez, it'd be nice if I finished my thought... (...) If the renderer allowed the user to change the include/search path from the default: ldraw\parts;ldraw\p to ldraw\parts.ldl;ldra...dl;ldraw\p The renderer would pick up the translated parts first. (...) (21 years ago, 1-May-03, to lugnet.cad)
