(...) Here is how this could work: you make special curved primitives and parts that use the new syntax or whatever, and place them in special folder (e.g. p\curved,parts\curved etc) & compatible renderers use these rarther than the normal parts. (24 years ago, 25-Apr-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

If there isn't, it probably would be a good idea to have one. Also, I was (...) (24 years ago, 25-Apr-00, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

I have been reading some threads about how far to move an object in grid mode, and how this relates to rotations, and have come to the following conclusion. Since rotation is defined by a transformation matrix, and since the rotation portion of a (...) (24 years ago, 24-Apr-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
