Hi Rob,
  Not to be indelicate, but LDraw was around *before* OpenGL.  That said, I
think the document *must* explicitly show something like this:

Actually, SGI released OpenGL in 1992, and (according to ldraw.org) James
released LDraw in 1995.  So OpenGL predates LDraw by 3 years.

Furthermore I think the document must explain x, y and z.  If I remember
correctly above the origin, y is negative.

Good point.  You are correct that -y is "up".  I don't see that anywhere in the
spec, and it's quite important.

(...) Also important is the fact that LDraw's model world is in a right-handed coordinate system. The current draft doesn't mention this. Steve (17 years ago, 28-Aug-07, to lugnet.cad)
