(...) Good point. As I wrote in another post, we could keep the individual part files on a dev server, and distribute a single combined file. Or store all the individual definitions in a SQL database. (...) Ack! I better post my work soon, or it (...) (23 years ago, 24-Jul-03, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) AFAIK, they have to be explicitly included. (...) Not really, because then there'd be an issue of search order order, too much complication. (...) I prefer to keep it simple -- either one big file with everything in it, or one master file that (...) (23 years ago, 24-Jul-03, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) For one, I'm not keen on putting POV-Ray code in LDraw part files. Besides complicating the review/certification process, it also ties the LDraw library to one specific renderer, in an official way. Steve (23 years ago, 24-Jul-03, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) Hmm. I'll haul out some of mine and recheck the LDraw part. (...) Alright, I'll grab some of those 500 model files, and see what's up. Steve (23 years ago, 24-Jul-03, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) YES YES YES! Cool stuff, Paul. C'mon guys open your eyes and look at this: (URL) helmet (very good part writing I must say, I couldn't have done it) 500+ lines. And by adding (just) 36 lines of POV code one gets a real rounded helmet. Now, (...) (23 years ago, 20-Jul-03, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
