I just noticed some unexpected behavior in LDView, and I wanted to ask here whether or not the behavior was right. Suppose you have the following files: TestModel.ldr Sub/Sub1.ldr Sub/Sub2.ldr TestModel.ldr contains a reference to Sub/Sub1.ldr. When (...) (17 years ago, 12-Jul-07, to lugnet.cad.dev)

Hi, folks. After reading some of the recent posts discussing support for unofficial parts and part directories, I decided to release this script I wrote to help manage the unofficial parts I use. I keep my unofficial parts in a parallel part library (...) (17 years ago, 11-Jul-07, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac, lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) The following files in LDView's source tree contain the LDrawIni stuff: LDLoader/LDrawIni.c LDLoader/LDrawIni.h LDLoader/LDrawInP.h There's a #include <TCFoundation/TCDefines.h> near the top of LDrawIni.c. You can delete that; the only reason (...) (17 years ago, 10-Jul-07, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) That makes sense to me too. Based on the coincidental informal convention already used by LDView and Bricksmith, I suggest $LDRAWDIR/Unofficial as the default unofficial parts directory. It is structured like the regular LDraw directory with (...) (17 years ago, 9-Jul-07, to lugnet.cad.dev)
