(...) You might consider a series of concentric rings of different colors. If you don't mind the ongoing POV-primitive debate, or are only interested in using the part yourself, you could make the dat file show a solid grey circle for normal dat (...)

(...) That is a great explanation, and its exactly what I did. Its reassuring to me that a couple of my more creative solutions, are probably the best way to take care of the issues I had. my only thing left to do is place the two circular areas on (...)

(...) I'm just guessing here, but there's probably NOT a way to do this via LDraw proper. On the other hand, there's probably a way to make it work in POV-Ray, I just don't know how... (...)

(...) We measure units in LDraw Distance Units (LDU). 1 LDU = ~1/64 in 20 LDU = 1 brick width/depth 24 LDU = 1 brick hieght => 8 LDU = 1 plate height -Orion (21 years ago, 28-Aug-03, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) The thing to remember here is that artwork on parts are applied as graphic primitives, like lines and triangles. You can not apply a bitmap image to a part. The .dat format just does not support it. -Chuck (21 years ago, 27-Aug-03, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
