(...) There is no rule against primitive files calling to other \P files. I didn't have to look very long to find one. And if we inlined them, I suspect the primitive substitution in L3P will not work until L3P is updated to support the new ones. (...) (18 years ago, 14-May-06, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)

I can definitely see where you're coming from, and there's certainly a danger that having a viewer transparently support unofficial parts will encourage their use without being included inside the MPD file.

If you were to download the unofficial parts into a distinct directory (eg. in the ldview dir tree) and then call them from there it would allow an (...)

Hi Travis, this option seems very useful, but I am still unable to run the newest version of LDView on my computer :o(. Do I need any special drivers etc.? LDView 2 works perfectly. Leg Godt- Sven (18 years ago, 14-May-06, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

Sorry to so quickly respond to my own post, but I forgot to mention something. One of the sample models that LDView comes with makes use of a fair number of unofficial parts (15, to be exact). Those parts make use of 14 unofficial primitives and 1 (...) (18 years ago, 14-May-06, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw, FTX)

I'm working on a feature in LDView where it will automatically check the parts tracker for unofficial parts when it encounters a file that it can't find. This has the potential to produce a fairly large amount of requests to the parts tracker, so I (...) (18 years ago, 14-May-06, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw, FTX)
