(...) Not all colors are invertable. For example, Yellow's edge color is Dark Gray, but Dark Gray's edge color is Black. The list of edge colors is at the bottom of the color page: (URL) L3 reports an error if you use color 24 in a subfile (...) (22 years ago, 14-Aug-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)

(...) Yes, exactly. (...) Yep. New ways to use the power and flexibility of the LDraw syntax seem to be automatically treated as illegal. Generally it's good; it points out our mistakes. But sometimes when you want to go beyond the limits of what's (...) (22 years ago, 14-Aug-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)

(...) Messing around with ldraw I set the part color to 24 instead of 16, and got the colors to invert. Try something like: 1 24 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 4-4edge.dat Though I'm not sure how well most renderers handle parts that use color 24. (I think (...)

(...) No, the lines I'm thinking of are supposed to support the rendering of ring primitives when zoomed out. The edge primitives could do this job if it weren't that they use the color 24 complementary color. /Tore (22 years ago, 13-Aug-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)

(...) I think the ring primitives will give you a solution. Like the 1-4rin39.dat for a thin "circle". CU Bernd (22 years ago, 13-Aug-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)

I wish there were color 16 versions of the ?-?edge.dat primitives. These are the ones I would like to see: 1-16circ.dat 1-8circ.dat 3-8circ.dat 1-4circ.dat 2-4circ.dat 3-4circ.dat 4-4circ.dat Because: 1. Filling in curved support lines in patterned (...)

Hi Orion and Franklin, (...) Be sure I carefully consider opposition. I would not submit these primitives against general consent. I have made empirical measurements.

(...) Most programs that use DAT files as the sources file for a rendered image break all the quads into triangles anyway. Technically, this change would slow down the conversion process (though you would need a *lot* of studs) -Orion (22 years ago, 14-Jul-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)
