(...) Tim, do you want to ask them, as the head honcho of ldraw.org content? Jacob, do you have a copy of James' site-files? I do, if you don't. Oops--I just checked, his site is back online. But maybe it makes sense to have a permanent mirror in (...) (25 years ago, 7-Apr-00, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) I don't have the fix, but I did locate it on lugnet.cad.dat.parts. Normally, I'd require you to e-mail me the fix before I'd put it in an official release, but since you're a good modeler, I'll let it go this once. Just don't tell anyone. ;) (...) (25 years ago, 7-Apr-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) OK, here's a counter-proposal: don't require all parts/primitives to be BFC'able, and allow both BFC-ready and BFC-not-ready files in the same rendering. This reintroduces the concept of having a single meta-statement at the start of each (...) (25 years ago, 7-Apr-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) I don't mind that because I preprocess the files anyway and anyone who wants to get a good speed increase should do the same. But it's not a good idea to turn on/off BFC several times and in some cases, it's nicer to have the faces reversed. (...) (25 years ago, 7-Apr-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
