My problem is don't quite get why or how the bmp's are being made with so much

getting most of the pieces chopped off, or worse with the larger plates and

one part at a time and you can also set the color you want from the
command line. The files are saved in either .bmp or .gif format (I can
extend it to save .png images if you want).

Ok, I'll admit I'm not very experienced with any of the lego cad packages since I find them (for me) too hard to use. But I am trying to generate a VEC within LDAO for every part in every color. There is probably an easier way to do it that what I (...) (24 years ago, 5-Jun-00, to lugnet.cad)
