(...) Hello, James! [snip description of situation leading up to the question] (...) The standard in the LDraw library is to use stud3.dat for all stud3-type anti-studs, regardless of whether they are actually hollow or solid. The reason is that (...)

| | stud3 -- hollow vs filled
|
|
Hello, everyone. When I was working on 71427 (expect a post on l.c.d.parts soon), I noticed that the two small underside studs were modeled with a pair of cyli4-4s and a disk1. When looking for the proper primitive to replace that with, I noticed (...) (20 years ago, 23-Dec-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives, FTX)

(...) I have talked to the POV-Ray folks and figured out what I need to do to package a version of POV-Ray with my app L3P Launcher.

(...) I think you are unneccesarily complicating things. In this case, I think simply providing a way for the user to overide the reference part directory is the way to go. -Orion (20 years ago, 21-Dec-04, to lugnet.cad)
