I completly agree with Tim, with one exception. The Lego parts coming out now are especially complex and involve patterns and colors that extend beyond the original LDraw colors set forth in James's program. I think a relaxation of the hard coded (...) (22 years ago, 7-May-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) By all means, a good discussion :-) (...) Here's how I see it. As a community we need to answer this question and act accordingly. What is the role of 'LDraw?' I see 'LDraw' as the file format and parts library, and its role is as a foundation (...) (22 years ago, 7-May-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

Time to throw fuel on the fire. Why are we still latching ourselves on to the original dos LDRAW program. Isn't it time the LDraw community graduated to Windows/Mac based programs and let the DOS program fade away from usage. Much like other (...) (22 years ago, 7-May-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

Franklin, In your estimatation, how many files are waiting for fixed primitives to be certified? Right now, of the 77 primitives on the system, I count 7 as being fixes. Here's another viewpoint: Any primitive files in the PT system *should* have a (...) (22 years ago, 6-May-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) For a linetype to include a 'function' in it's definition, we'd need to figure out what 'language' the functions would be written in. It's a fairly wide-open proposal. More likely, we'll add specific curved-surface primitives[1] at some point. (...) (22 years ago, 6-May-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
