Doesn't the BFC "spec" mention transparency? The renderer can easily tell when something is transparent, and do BFC processing (or lack thereof) appropriately. This is necessary for correct handling of standard parts that are sometimes transparent, (...) (22 years ago, 30-Nov-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

I think the reason for the capital .DAT extension is because LDraw was original DOS. If you install the original package under windows, all directories and files will be capitals as well. Furthermore I do not experience any problems with lower or (...) (22 years ago, 26-Nov-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

It seems like a while back, parts were supposed to have the extension ".DAT". But I'm seeing that all the links on ldraw.org seem to point to files with ".dat" at the end. What's the scoop- are lower-case filenames considered ideal now? Which ldraw (...) (22 years ago, 25-Nov-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
