(...) In other words, every face in a subfile will have other faces in the part-construction that will form the other side of the solid, right? That sounds correct. (...) There are only a couple of non-symmetrical primitives, but they are used (...) (24 years ago, 5-Apr-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) I can't speak for the other programs but if you allow a part to have CCW and CW faces in any OpenGL program, it's going to be slower (but as LeoCAD's library is pre-processed than it won't be a problem). If you have some parts BFC compliant (...) (24 years ago, 6-Apr-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) As someone pointed out once, it's not a big deal to get all windings the same before passing the data to OpenGL. Just swap the order of the points. For quads, switch points 2 and 4. For triangles, switch points 2 and 3. This could/should be (...) (24 years ago, 6-Apr-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) I don't mind that because I preprocess the files anyway and anyone who wants to get a good speed increase should do the same. But it's not a good idea to turn on/off BFC several times and in some cases, it's nicer to have the faces reversed. (...) (24 years ago, 7-Apr-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
