Wireframe is _much_ faster.  About 70% of the time taken by ldlite
for a model such as LL928 is spent filling in quads.  However,
wireframe gets messy after only a few bricks.
I'm playing with ActiveX modellers, where you can move a slider bar
and it will rotate a hinge or minifig arm, and I've figured I'll drop into
wireframe mode until the user lets go of the slider.
I'll try an sneak in a wireframe mode in 1.6, which will probably get
released at the end of the month.

because it would help greatly those of us who want to use Steve Blisses LDAO
modeller with LDLite running as our viewport.. fully drawing every piece during
movement makes LDLite take forever (even with all the options off)... and i'm
not one of the types who does his modelling "by the numbers", simply editing
the part locations.. i always insert a part into a model file, then cursor it
around until it is where it needs to be.. i'm still using LEdit for this, but
could really see possibilities with LDAO and LDLite if only LDLite could draw
pieces quickly while they get shuttled around in the modeller..

just my wish for the future :)

(...) I''m not sure how you are doing the rendering, but what if only the active line (piece moved since last update) is done in wireframe... since that is the only piece "moving", if you don't have to redraw the whole rest of the model, it might (...) (26 years ago, 3-Feb-99, to lugnet.cad)
