Feedback from the guys who built the viewers (LDGlite, LDView, etc) would be really great on this. I have a project, not Lego, but similar and I'm writing some software for 3D viewing and manipulation of items. The LDraw architecture is a good match (...) (17 years ago, 12-Jul-07, to lugnet.cad)

The LDraw Standards Committee (LSC) has ratified the CATEGORY and KEYWORD language extension.
