It has been said that, with ldraw parts, we have the geometry of TLG bricks.
This is rather optimistic. Because geometry would be CSG descriptions that
allow much more (although slower) than quads and triangles. CSG descriptions
allow part collision detection.

What's "CSG descriptions"?

Constructive Solid Geometry? (the notion of modeling solids as constructions
of simpler solids, using union and intersection as operator)
