Hey Y’all:

1. Is there a render generator that will automatically generate renders of all the parts in a directory in a specific color at a specific angle? I seem to remember someone posting about this before; and it would seem that such a tool must probably exist for use on the Parts Reference and also on Bricklink. Tell me these renders are not being done by hand, one by one!!!

2. Where and how does one locate primitives like: rect3.dat, rect2p.dat, 4-4con3.dat, clh4.dat, box4o4a.dat? Are these all unofficial files? Is it wise to author parts with unofficial primitive files? Well, you get the gist of this quetion...

3. Is element 43711 known by another label for Ldraw?

Many thanks in advance,

-- Hop-Frog

(...) I have a generator that hasn't been released based on little-known LDView functionality. However, while it seems to work, it hasn't been tested too well, and has some limitations at the moment: It doesn't allow you to specify the angle, it (...) (21 years ago, 3-Oct-03, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
