Regarding the proposed file format document: (URL) is no mention of the scale used by the x/y/z triplets in the various linetypes. I would suggest there should be a paragraph introducing the concept of LDU, and how it relates to bricks and "real (...) (20 years ago, 24-Feb-05, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
