In LDView, I do a few things. First, I check to see if the file I just
loaded is a part. In order to be a part, it has to satisfy two criteria.
First, it can't be the child of a part. Second, it has to either be in the
LDraw Parts directory, or it has to have a header comment indicating that it
is a part.
Once I have determined that I have a part, I calculate its axis-aligned
bounding box. Then, for each of the X, Y, and Z axes, I calculate the scale
factor necessary to shrink that dimension by the seam width. For example,
for X I would calculate (width - seamWidth) / width as my scale factor.
Finally, I scale the part in each dimension based on the calculated scale
factor, while being sure that the resulting scaled part has a bounding box
centered in the same spot as the original bounding box.

| Hi. Just wondering: How do you calculate the seam width in programs like L3P and LDView? Do you just scale the part by x% ? Or ? Trond Hasse Lie Norway (o\_/o) (22 years ago, 20-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)
