I suppose that would be a problem. It would be more of a problem, if
stud-logos were part of LDraw.
It would also be more of a problem, if this were a smaller part. By the
time people get to using 32x32 baseplates, they aren't usually looking
at the individual studs anymore.

It would need to include a position and direction for the studlogo.

I don't think this is a resolvable problem (go ahead someone, prove me
wrong! ;). So we'd probably be better off sticking with hard-coded,
non-logo'ed painted studs.

In general, we don't need a meta-command for LCD. Most studs are
already clearly marked in the part files.

| (...) Well, I know this was a really old thread, but I didn't catch it the first time around. As it turns out, I'd be happy to prove you wrong, at least for LDView :-). LDView doesn't have a concept of a logo color at all. The logo texture it uses (...) (22 years ago, 27-May-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
