(...) I'm just guessing here, but there's probably NOT a way to do this via LDraw proper. On the other hand, there's probably a way to make it work in POV-Ray, I just don't know how... (...)

(...) We measure units in LDraw Distance Units (LDU). 1 LDU = ~1/64 in 20 LDU = 1 brick width/depth 24 LDU = 1 brick hieght => 8 LDU = 1 plate height -Orion (21 years ago, 28-Aug-03, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) The thing to remember here is that artwork on parts are applied as graphic primitives, like lines and triangles. You can not apply a bitmap image to a part. The .dat format just does not support it. -Chuck (21 years ago, 27-Aug-03, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
