My library is currently being rebuild and all buttons on the bricks are getting
a selectable rounded edge, they take up a whole extra amount of rendering time
so I've made them an option. Also, I've always looked at new Lego(TM) and there
are hardly any rounded edges on the regular bricks.

That's changing with the version 500 of my library, the buttons are becoming
macros, as are many other repeatingly used parts. Dimensions are simple, one
POV-Ray unit is one real life millimeter... ;-)
