I don't think I can do this right away since I already have 2 actual
bug reports and an enhancement request in for ldglite. (I don't get
many of these so I like to give them priority). It shouldn't be too
hard to do though. Everything you need is in the L3 parser which you
can find in the ldglite sources. Just make a new main function
that gets the dat filename and calls these functions from L3Input.cpp
LoadModelPre();
LoadModel(datfilename);
LoadModelPost();
I believe the bounding box is calculated for you in the Parts[0].BBox
structure. Then all you have to do is save it to a file. I might be
able to put this together this weekend, but if you're in a big hurry
it shouldn't be too much of a project. What do you need this for?
