   (...) <snip> (...) Amen to that! This model and the various rendered images of it really push a lot of envelopes (what's possible to model, what's possible to display, and what Technic is capable of doing) A few questions: Linc: How did you model (...)

     (...) I don't think it is possible, no. :-( In fact there is no special code to launch LDLITE -- it's your browser which is deciding to do that.

     (...) Because somewhere on your system there is a mapping: application/x-ldraw -> .DAT or perhaps there is a pair of mappings application/x-ldraw <-> LDLITE.EXE .DAT <-> LDLITE.EXE and the browser is treating them as transitive...?
