Jaco,
Good idea! Except that it already exists in LPub. :^)
Try this:
PLIST BEGIN SUB <minifig.ldr>
1 0 0 0 0 0 0 -1 0 1 0 1 0 0 3831.DAT
1 0 0 0 0 0.5 0 -0.866025 0 1 0 0.866025 0 0.5 3830.DAT
PLIST END
In minifig.ldr, assemble the minifig as you would like it to show up in the
part list image and BOM. LPub will render the file and use its image.
This is handy for shock absorbers, pneumatic pistons, turntables and more.
