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
