(...) I think it can be done for simple objects, by choosing a random winding for 1 polygon, then processing all touching polygons so they're wound the same way (when looking from the same side - out ot in). This would produce a result that is (...) (20 years ago, 3-Feb-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) I may be being dense here, but I dont understand how this can be done programatically. The point of BFC is to allow renderers to understand if a particular polygon is facing the camera or facing away from it. If all polygons are wound (...) (20 years ago, 3-Feb-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Well, I had some spare time today... so I wrote one. It goes through a single LDraw part file and reorients all the polygons in it to have the same winding. It comprehends the notion of subfiles and already BFC compliant parts, and puts the (...) (20 years ago, 3-Feb-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)

Bricksaic is using the ldconfig.ldr in it's directory but the problem with the unused colors seems to be that MLcad does not recognize the following colors: Reddish_Brown, Stone_Gray, Dark_Stone_Gray, and Dark_Green. there may be more colors (...)

Larry, I looked into what you said and it is correct: Bricksiac is using the ldconfig.ldr file in it's installed directory and MLDraw is using a file named the same ldconfig.ldr in it's installed dirctory.
