dear admins, would it be a help if everyone updates at least the header of his own parts, by posting the modified headers in a unique posting at lugnet.cad.dat.parts? for example: Change: 0 Minifig Shield Round 0 Name: 3876.dat 0 Author: Willy (...)

The thread seems to be splitting from the original point, It is a fact that OpenGL generally places a depth of 16 on any transforms. If an LDRAW model in MPD format was presented to OpenGL as a raw data block I suspect that OpenGL would easily hit (...) (18 years ago, 8-Sep-06, to lugnet.cad.dev)
