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.

(...) 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)
