| I've got a little question. Why are you working so hard on BFC. The rendering in Ldraw, L3lab, MLcad,.... is already very fast. Is the speed improvement gained with BFC supposed to provide the extra time, so you can turn an model in realtime, with a (...) (25 years ago, 5-Apr-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
