(...) But does such an export include the POV-enhanced parts in proper matrix alignment, or does the user have to figure out how to orient the part to match the output file? If the latter, then it's equivalent to not supporting the POV-Ray elements (...) (14 years ago, 1-Jul-10, to lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) 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)

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)
