I forgot to mention:  if anyone is interested in looking at the most-recent
version of the BFC proposal, it's still at:
<http://www.geocities.com/partsref/bfcspecv4.txt>.  The first screen of text
is meta-comments about the status of the proposal.  The actual proposal
starts at the line "LDraw Language Extension for Clipping".

I do have a set of primitives that are BFC-compliant.  I didn't straighten
out all the primitives, but I did a number of them.  I can email them to
you, if you want.

I'm looking for a model file that utilizes BFC-certified parts to test
backface culling in the CAD application I'm developing.

Unfortunately, as near as I can tell, only 13 part files have a BFC-related
comment, and on top of that, they're not consistently formatted:

30134   (0 BFC CERTIFY CW)
30156   (0 BFC NOCERTIFY)
30183   (0 BFC CERTIFY CW)
4107073 (0 CERTIFY BFC CW)
4107488 (0 CERTIFY BFC CW)
4107539 (0 CERTIFY BFC CW)
4150p01 (0 BFC CERTIFY CW)
4523    (0 BFC NOCERTIFY)
553     (0 BFC CERTIFY CW)
73593   (0 CERTIFY BFC CW)
9044    (0 CERTIFY BFC CW)
9567    (0 CERTIFY BFC CW)
553s01  (0 BFC CERTIFY CW)

I had hoped that by now, at least the basic bricks would be BFC compliant,
since they are used more often than any other parts.

It would be neat if we could develop a standard set of DAT files for testing
Lego renderers.  These would be akin to the famous teapot model that was
used for the first general-purpose renderer.

I have printed the bfcspec file for review. Hopefully I will get a response back to you. I have been using BFC in most all my new parts for the last six months or so. Please send me the BFC compliant primitives, so that I can be sure I am using them (...) (23 years ago, 17-Aug-01, to lugnet.cad.dev)
