| | 58231.DAT Slope 33 3 x 6 is wrong type

Hi, Again while going through LGEO, i discovered 58231.DAT to be Slope 33 3 x 6, old version (as 3939), only 58181.DAT is new version without inner walls.

Hello Stefan, (...) I just tested your script (on VERY simple objects, I'm a complete noob with Blender!), it worked very well. A few things I noticed: - Export color here is not black but color 16. This is the "main color" that should be used for (...) (18 years ago, 16-Jul-08, to lugnet.cad)

Hi again, I've uploaded my script. Right now, it exports everything as black, but it seems to work fine in Ldraw (you can change the color after the fact). If you run the resultant file through Edger, Ldview will smooth it properly. Also, it only (...) (18 years ago, 15-Jul-08, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
