Hi gang, If I have an LDraw Type 1 line that adds a submodel, and the rotation matrix of the line is a mirrored matrix about one and only one axis, can one calculate which axis the model is mirrored about? Can one do so if the user mirrored *and* (...) (15 years ago, 14-Jun-09, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Well, scratch that analysis. wing2.ldr and wing1.ldr are exactly the same model. When you added wing2.ldr you *did* use mirror matrix. LPub 4.0.0.2 notices that you used a mirrored matrix, and rendered the wing with the mirror matrix rotation. (...) (15 years ago, 14-Jun-09, to lugnet.cad)
