Yes, that's right. The moment you've all been waiting for. The new Parts Tracker is live and ready for action. Well, mostly. It's in a "pilot phase" -- think of it as a "gamma test". That means we're using real data, and it will have real results, (...) (23 years ago, 12-Sep-01, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw) !!

I like that idea. If the default view is what you said (the [0.707104 ...] matrix), then a projection matrix of 1.4142,0,0,0,1.2196,...171,1.2247 in front of it would give the same effect as the original LDRAW default matrix. I've wanted to pull out (...) (23 years ago, 7-Sep-01, to lugnet.cad.dev)
