Hi Lars,
I'd prefer that the format is unchanged. Right now LPub post-proceses the one
file, greying parts as needed, adjusting camera settings for orthographic, and
creating new colors for the greyed pieces....
I'd really rather *not* have to chase down all the files to achieve the post
processing. Unless there are very compelling reasons to make the change, I
would ask that you don't split things up (or at least make it optional).
Thanks,
Kevin
