(...) Hi, Anton! Thanks for the explanation. That is a straightforward conversion. I divided LDView's reported camera location and lookat coordinates by 2.5, reversed the sign of the y coordinates, used the default right vector (positive x), and it (...)

(...) Jim, In the Converter I divide every coordinate the LDraw model has by 2.5 and then I end up with the millimeter system I digitized everything with. I have (since I started to build my Library starting in 1992) always used millimeters when (...) (20 years ago, 19-Mar-07, to lugnet.cad.ray, FTX)

(...) Neat. I have also (URL) used> (URL) autotrace>, a similar program. I haven't used either enough to recommend one over the other, but for some reason I do recall preferring potrace's output. (I've only used the programs, not programmed with (...) (20 years ago, 19-Mar-07, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

(...) Ah, that's a logical explanation. I just looked in the manual.txt that came with Anton's part library and it does state that it considers a POV-Ray unit 1 millimeter. If one (URL) LDraw unit> is equal to 0.4 mm, then the conversion probably is (...) (20 years ago, 19-Mar-07, to lugnet.cad.ray, FTX)

(...) Hmmm. It would appear that using the Potrace API and the Triangle API would do almost all the difficult work for software of this sort. I might look into restarting the project although I'm not sure how far I could get with it. Of course if (...) (20 years ago, 19-Mar-07, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
