(...) I can see that, although a great deal of care would need to be taken to make sure that the MPD sub-files had no chance of being useful in another part. (...) I can definitely see that. (...) I totally disagree with this as an argument for (...) (14 years ago, 10-Feb-10, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, FTX)

(...) I was about to write the same thing, but you beat me. I think it's a great idea! I can think of two potential problems: 1. Programs that create seams between parts but not models. (Are there any more than L3P?) Depending on how they are (...) (14 years ago, 10-Feb-10, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) I think eliminating part-specific subfiles would be a nice file-management benefit, if nothing else. I expect that reducing the number of part-specific subfiles would speed up the part-approval process, always a good thing. The most important (...)

(...) Err, what? No, don't mix color codes and RGBs in official parts! This isn't an issue of backwards compatibility. It's an issue of adding complexity where it isn't needed (IMO, of course). (...) Ha! I'd have to get it back from Chris... Steve (14 years ago, 10-Feb-10, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) HURRAY! And in one go we are also gonna drop dithered colors in favour of RGBs. We'll have textures, the LSC is finally shaping the LCD - LDraw Connection Database (URL) and yourself are going to help getting LDView working as PT rendering (...)

(...) By the definitions of that article, *LUGNET* is a walled garden. <blank stare> I have put up a step-by-step showing example source LDR/image files.

(...) I don't know why you need this, but I just did a test with LDView and it works. You can call an mpd file from within a part and the first model in the mpd file is shown together with the other content of the part file. cu mikeheide (14 years ago, 10-Feb-10, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
