There was never agreement on what the BFC standard should be. So there aren't very many parts that follow it in any way. I do have a set of primitives that are BFC-compliant. I didn't straighten out all the primitives, but I did a number of them. I (...) (23 years ago, 17-Aug-01, to lugnet.cad.dev)

You could specify (or firmly recommend) in the future that models must posses boundary boxes measured in degrees of tilewidths (or half-tilewidth's). Anything less than that would be considered a prop. Props would then be dealt with seperately, just (...) (23 years ago, 16-Aug-01, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev)

This is great! An idea: if bitmaps were created of the model from 6 directions (left, right, bottom, top, front, back), you could texture map those to the boundary box (inside, to make sort of a 6 point, 3 plane cross intersecting in the center) and (...)
