Thanks for the suggestions that were posted. I tried clearing the parents but
still see the same problem. For one import I commented out the line in the
import script that links an object to its parent, but I still got the same
results. I also tried control-period, but couldn't tell any difference when I
rotated an object. There could be some problem with the object centers, but I
couldn't figure out how to tell for sure or how to fix it.
I posted the LDraw file, s Blender file, and a screen shot at
http://zephyr.uvsc.edu/~brian/LBlend/index.html
I also posted my revised version of Yann's color import script there.
Please let me know if you have other suggestions.
Thanks,
Brian Durney
