  Re: L3P Warnings
 
--snip-- (...) LGEO was updated fairly recently (in the last two years anyway) so it's definitely being updated sometimes. The newer LDView releases also make POVray export very easy and you can add parts you've made yourself simply by editing a (...) (14 years ago, 1-Jul-10, to lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Re: L3P Warnings
 
(...) This hits on the main issue, as far as I'm concerned. There are certain elements that simply can't be rendered well within the constraints of the official, accepted LDraw code language. My interest, of course, is in clone elements. I grant (...) (14 years ago, 1-Jul-10, to lugnet.cad.ray, FTX)
 
  Re: L3P Warnings
 
(...) I guess there we have the really big problem. We all have our own LDraw universes, and we all use LDraw for so very different purposes, different tools of choise, different approaches, different thinking, different ways to solve problems, (...) (14 years ago, 1-Jul-10, to lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Re: L3P Warnings
 
(...) I'm not conversant with LGEO or the like; what would the filename format be for these alternate parts? That is, if a 2x4 brick is 3001.dat, what's the equivalent name of the LGEO version? I ask because I like sticking with the DAT suffix, and (...) (14 years ago, 1-Jul-10, to lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Re: LDraw colour for metallic silver
 
(...) Also relavent to this is 8520 Millennium from the throwbot/slizer line. This contains a "Throwbot Disk, Millennia, 9 pips, riding motorcycle and throwing disk Pattern" (as Bricklink calls it) in metallic gold (i.e. flat gold ala the silver (...) (14 years ago, 30-Jun-10, to lugnet.cad)

  Re: LDraw colour for metallic silver
 
(...) 8458 used (at least) two different silvers, 131 Silver for the corrugated pipes and flexible rods and a lacquered silver for panels and hubs. 8448 hubs were definitely lacquered 8446 was a big mix like 8458. Some silver (flexible rods), lots (...) (14 years ago, 30-Jun-10, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: LDraw colour for metallic silver
 
Which color is used for the silver parts in sets like the 8458 Silver Champion and on wheels in sets like the 8448 Super Street Sensation, 8466 4 x 4 Off-Roader and 8471 Mag Wheel Master? Is it the "painted silver" color? (14 years ago, 30-Jun-10, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: L3P Warnings
 
(...) I'm pretty sure the decision to disallow inline POV code in official parts was made prior to the creation of the LSC. On a side note, LDView's POV export functionality supports L3P's inline POV syntax. --Travis (14 years ago, 30-Jun-10, to lugnet.cad.ray)
