(...) The main advantage would be saving a few bytes of file space. Which is most significant to the download process, since we've got about 3MB of data, between ldraw.exe and complete.exe. The rendering time would be *mostly* unaffected. On the on (...) (23 years ago, 24-May-01, to lugnet.cad.dev)

I've noticed that a number of older DAT files could be steamlined (that is, rendered using far fewer lines) by application of box.dat and rect.dat primitives rather than a series of linetypes 2 and 4. Is there any merit in doing this, such as (...) (23 years ago, 23-May-01, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) I like it! Ultimately I suppose you'd have a toggle for finer-detail motion, but as a demo I think it's quite cool.
