(...) Does anyone else see things the same way as Jonathan does? It's not what I had been thinking, but Cockpit could be defined to include both the base parts and the canopy parts. The only thing is this: Windscreen is a fairly cleanly- defined (...) (24 years ago, 7-Jul-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

Talking about the subject summarized at: (...) I think canopy pieces should probably stay in the Windscreen group. I can see putting the Space Nose and Space Cabin Base pieces in a Cockpit group. There's not really any other place to stick them, (...) (24 years ago, 7-Jul-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) I'd say there are no plans to add statements for all part files. The 'default value' for category is the first word in the partname. Since, 3001.dat doesn't have a 0 CATEGORY statement, its category comes from the part name, and the category (...) (24 years ago, 7-Jul-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) I think it makes sense to use a special code for rubber, and 256 sounds like a good choice. (...) Let's see. In LDraw, if dithered color K is constructed out of solid colors I and J as 256 + I * 16 + J, I believe the edge-color of K will be (...) (24 years ago, 7-Jul-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

Color 256 for Black Rubber was suggested by John VanZwieten one year ago, see eg. (URL) haven't received any suggestions for the POV setting for rubber, so I just turned off reflection. I announced the special treatment of color 256 three weeks ago: (...) (24 years ago, 7-Jul-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

I noticed that the m6596a.dat file which comes with the new version of L3Lab uses color 256 (black + black) for the tires. These apparently display in L3Lab with a black edge color. In addition, Lars' renderings of this model on his L3P page appear (...) (24 years ago, 7-Jul-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
