Having such piece-based local maps would also help speed up
re-rendering the current step's image when a part is modified. :)
Especially if we have that optimized 3D hit-testing logic. Because
we'd only want to rebuild the invalidated section of the image.
Plus, the piece-maps could be reused for identical parts with
identical orientations. Color can be different between the pieces
sharing map-information, probably.

Yes, unfortunately. :( And it gets us right back to the "88 ways to
connect LEGO elements" discussion.
Which reminds me. Thanks to Mr. Stangl & his guitars, we have a new
connection method:
