1.I have a newer version of Datsville Petrollium than the one included with the current Datsville MPD (this version is the version that was featured as the ldraw.org model of the month & at kidvention) & since I hold the copyright on the model I (...) (23 years ago, 15-Aug-01, to lugnet.cad.dev)

Hey, no problem. I just browse Lugnet every once in a while to see if any progress on such a utility exists. I notice there has been little mention of such a thing in the newsgroups in the past. It would be a "cool" toy. Thanks, Mike (...) (23 years ago, 15-Aug-01, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) If I understand the question correctly, and from my understanding of how a ray- tracer works, Pov-ray must keep all polygon data while it renders since it "traces" all the light rays, even those that you can't see (inside of a brick). It (...) (23 years ago, 14-Aug-01, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.cad.ray)

Thank you Don. I will give it a try tonight, but I'll probably fail. I'll let you know. I need it for two purposes: 1. Making an overview map of Datsville from the subdivision in town.dat. (Maybe post-editing of the Y and E values by hand). 2. (...) (23 years ago, 14-Aug-01, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev)

Actually, I was hoping to incorporate .DEM files into LDraw. At first glance I thought your utility could do that. It does so, but it generates studs instead of just plain polygons. Now, I can do this just as easily by doing a search over at the (...) (23 years ago, 14-Aug-01, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.build.arch)

I have made a small improvement that solves many annoying problems in some parts. The program now uses several primitives if the plain primitive does not exist. Example: for a part of cylinder of 5/8, the program will use two primitives 2-4cyli and (...) (23 years ago, 14-Aug-01, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) I don't think I can do this right away since I already have 2 actual bug reports and an enhancement request in for ldglite. (I don't get many of these so I like to give them priority). It shouldn't be too hard to do though. Everything you need (...) (23 years ago, 14-Aug-01, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) You should at least try the "-l3" before you recompile. I'm sort of interested in what you get for render times with both parsers. I only have somewhat underpowered PCs to work with, so I'm curious how they compare in the "real world". Don (23 years ago, 14-Aug-01, to lugnet.cad.dev)

Everything downloaded and unzipped great. Renamed all the parts to start with "K" and updated the mklist.
