An example of a model that works is:
0 Name: 18wheelr.dat
0 Author: Bram Lambrecht
One that doesn't is Duane Hess' jeep.dat.
I looked at both files and noticed some differences:
jeep.dat had empty lines throughout the file - I removed those.
jeep.dat seemed to have one line that didn't wrap - so I fixed that. I
tried loading the newly tweaked jeep.dat into LEdit again and saw
something strange:
Two lines of the .dat file showed up in LEdit. The first one was the
first piece (hooray!) and the second one was a piece about halfway
through the model - and those were the only two pieces to show up in
LEdit. They also didn't draw on the screen as I pressed PgDn.
Thanks for all the help you guys have been giving - I'm thinking I may
just give up on this problem though - I'm sure it's just something I'm
not thinking of right and the models show up fine in LDLite.
