LDraw Library Update 2008-01 is still posted only as a Windows executable. Why is there not yet an universally-accessible zip file of its contents? Allen (16 years ago, 23-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

(...) Sorry about the delay here. It turns out that the problem was simply that I'm an idiot. I guess I should have just started with that assumption. At any rate, the copy-paste from LDView works just fine. I was apparently deleting the "right" (...) (16 years ago, 24-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad)

(...) For sure it would be best to get a file format closer from the original design (.stl for example), to be able to tweak stl2dat parameters for better results. Or to create directly POV versions... Philo (16 years ago, 23-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

I'm curious as to what the differences between the format they submitted them to you are? For instance, do the models you've received have surface normals? -Mike (16 years ago, 21-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
