Hello, I have a question about using stickers on LDraw models and rendering these in PovRay (and other renderers). Stickers are 0.25 LDU thick, with the rear (bottom) at y=0 and the front (top) at y=-0.25. When using a sticker it is lined up with (...) (19 years ago, 5-Jun-05, to lugnet.cad)

(...) No new META commands are neccessary, the CATEGORY metacommand is already in place. The sticker should have either a "0 CATEGORY Sticker" line or "Sticker" as the first word in the part name, therefore all stickers are readily indentifiable to (...) (19 years ago, 7-Jun-05, to lugnet.cad)
