You used the Modeler for creating a part? Wow. I figured the limited
direct-editing would make part-authoring sort of difficult.
I haven't actually made any new parts since releasing LDAO 2. So maybe
I'm missing out on something.

Yes, you do.

Not really. I'm not sure how I'd interface it. I guess it'd be a
matter of inserting an interpreter at the point where the polling-file
is updated...
Same thing for the new LDLite 1.5 meta-commands. Although those don't
need LDAO support--LDLite already knows what to do with them.
I've made a suggestion to Paul Gyugyi that we should define a standard
interface for 'snap-in' programs. These would be utility programs which
would interpret pieces of non-LDraw code and return the LDraw-compatible
version. And (possibly) provide UI services for editing their own
stuff. An LDScript snap-in would be pretty cool...

Another potential idea for a snap-in.
I downloaded his stuff a bit ago. I haven't looked at it too closely,
yet.
