So I implemented BFC in L3Lab according to the current specs.

Woo-hoo!  This is great! :):):)

Now, if L3Lab would just stop GPF'ing when I close the LDAO Editor windows...

CW/CCW flipping and matrix inversion checking is handled during file parsing,
so the penalty for BFC checking while rendering is almost immeasurable (<1%)

That's good news.

I have added two directories to the file search path, so you don't have to overwrite
your parts/primitives with Steve's BFC versions. The file search path is now:
Current directory
%LDRAWDIR%\BFC\P
%LDRAWDIR%\BFC\PARTS
%LDRAWDIR%\P
%LDRAWDIR%\PARTS
%LDRAWDIR%\MODELS
Directory of model file (L3P/L3Lab specific I think)

Nifty.

BTW, I think there is an error with the winding of Steve's 3001.dat,
it should be CCW...

Arrr, you're right.

When BFC is off, mytest6 works as usual.
When BFC is on, mytest6 shows
green: faces to be drawn
red: faces to be clipped (you shouldn't see any of these ;-)
blue: faces always draw (clipping off)

Cool!

I'm in the middle of updating the file polling and other things,
so it's not a fully tested release, but you can test the BFC:

Well, I'm off for a 4-day week-end in a cottage at the sea...

OK, you must be back from the cottage now.  Is there any command-line option for
polling in the new L3Lab? :)

Steve
