Talking to myself...

Here's what I'm talking about.  Completely ripped off from the
MLcad.ini file.

  http://ldglite.sf.net/mirror.ini

That one contains an entry every part in my parts.lst file.  It
needs to have the changes made for the exceptions, but here's
how it starts.

;
; Mirror.ini
;
; ============================================================================
; This file is read by subfile mirror programs
; ============================================================================
; Lines beginning with ; are comments ...
; Empty lines are ignored

; This file contains information used to mirror a subfile across the Z axis.
; Many parts are symmetric across the Z axis and can be mirrored by simply
; negating the Z coordinate of the part in the subfile.
; Other parts need additional rotation, translation, and possibly substitution.
; This file tells what to do for those exceptional parts.
;
; Each line has the following format:
; PARTNAME MIRRORPART <Flags> <Matrix> <Offset>
; <PARTNAME> The name of the part file
; <MIRRORPART> The file name of the substutute part.
;              (It's the same as PARTNAME if no substitution is required.
; <Flags> always 0 reserved for future use
; <Matrix> a rotation matrix a11 a12 a13 ... a33 for optimal appearance at
;          0 degree rotation angle
; <Offset> The offset of the part to be in place
;

(...) [...] (...) I think I've got a more general solution, but first a quick thought: You could make mirror.ini more human-readable if the 'normal' parts were just flagged. Something like: 2546.DAT default 41770.DAT exception 41769.DAT 0 1 0 0 0 1 (...) (20 years ago, 18-Jun-04, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Oh yeah, the other exception would be a part substitution, like left minifig arm for right arm, or left wing plates for right wing plates. But watch out, some folks might object to substituting left-wing for right-wing of anything. ;^) (...) (20 years ago, 18-Jun-04, to lugnet.cad)
