(...) It may be able to display a billion polygons, but it certainly can't keep a billion unique polygons in video memory.

(...) Thanks for the explanation. Since my computer at work (which I am using) is a high end CAD workstation with enough VRAM to display a billion polygons, I guess I should just leave it on HIGH! On my home machine, I will probably slow it down. (...) (15 years ago, 13-Aug-09, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw, FTX)

(...) The main effect that this setting has is its control over the amount of display list compilation used.

(...) This makes me curious as to how this Memory Usage feature works. Why would I set the memory usage to "Low" if I have plenty of RAM? What does this do for me? Eric (15 years ago, 12-Aug-09, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw, FTX)

(...) Well, what we are actually trying with the new LDConfig.ldr file is getting more colors into LDraw, colors people find in today’s set but not LDraw and IMHO it lowers the bar for users if the colors are consistent throughout the system.

(...) Hi Tore, This may not work but possibly you can use the fact the L3Studs will only exist in l3p V1.4. You could try using #ifdef as follows #ifdef (L3Studs) // Do V1.4 stuff #else // Do V1.3 stuff #end Is that what you were after? Tim (15 years ago, 12-Aug-09, to lugnet.cad.ray)

Ok, so now I've found out why my minifig head dats with inline POV no longer work. New POV-Ray version was no problems this time. But two changes frm L3P 1.3 to 1.4 caused problems: The names of the colors have been changed from Color[n*] to (...) (15 years ago, 11-Aug-09, to lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) I have a few comments here. First of all, if you're going to load a huge model in LDView, it's usually best to set its "Memory Usage" setting to Low (especially on old hardware).
