Wow, cool. :) Now I just have to create a script to set the edge-color for everything to pure black. And I'm going to edit my stud.dat and stud2.dat files, to put pure-black sides on all the studs. Too bad that messes up a few parts which use studs (...) (26 years ago, 29-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) I tried that already, and it looks kind of strange, especially for transparent parts. For some reason, it just doesn't seem to look like the real instructions (IMO). Maybe I'm just too used to the default LDraw look...especially because the (...) (26 years ago, 29-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Yeah, basically me 2. I think I still have some images around with black-sided studs. I didn't remember about the transparent pieces. Steve (26 years ago, 29-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
