Hi everybody,
as many of you already know, I'm the programmer of SR 3D Builder.
Using the lDraw prebuild library has been for me the starting point for
developing my application, but as things become complex I have to assume
some convention in my application to deal with part colors and description.
For example I use the part description to recognize if what I'm loading
is an assembly or a single part. This is even more important if the
assembly contains part that can be moved (like 4592C01.DAT control
stick for example).
For colors the problem is more complex: I search the 0 color ID Min and
Max vertex to determine part boundaries, but for hard colored part this
could not work since there are no 0 colorID vertex.
What I'm asking is a 'Description convention' for example use
- '-Assemblies-' word for all assemblies
- '-Colored-' for all colored parts
or (preferred) use some flag in .DAT files like
0 !ASSEMBLY
0 !COLORED
(or whatever you want) to help solving these ambiguties
let me know your opinions...
Sergio
