Thanks for the info. I have implemented mesh2 support in LDView's export as
part of my new curve smoothing support for POV exports, but haven't completely
removed the mesh support (although it is currently hard-coded to use mesh2
whether or not curve smoothing is enabled). If mesh2 is generally faster, I'll
probably just leave it as the only option.
Somewhat ironically, curve smoothing gets rid of most of the part hierarchy,
since it would be a whole lot more difficult to determine where to smooth
otherwise, so LDView now has (mostly) flat parts when curve smoothing is
enabled, and you now have hierarchical ones. LDView still generates fully
hierarchical parts when curve smoothing is disabled, and even when it's enabled,
parts that contain primitives have the primitives done hierarchically (assuming
primitive substitution is enabled for the export).
Note: all of this is in my 4.1 development code; none of it has been released
yet.
