[X-posted to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.technic, follow-up set to lugnet.cad.dev] While building the way-cool #8448 SSS Super Car Mk II, I compiled a list of parts which have not been modeled in LDraw yet. I've included it below. I had two reactions to (...) (25 years ago, 20-Jan-00, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.technic)

I believe PLOT is currently unused by all known LDRAW utilities. I'm not too keen on the compiler modifying the source file, but that's your decision. So <sectors> is how many points to generate, and <total_sectors> is the total number of sectors in (...) (25 years ago, 20-Jan-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
