level 4.......  In computer weenie terms, we recursively traverse the
model/sub-model tree, incrementing level each time we have to open a new file.

I assume poor level 2 was missed by accident? 8?)

Does your recursion tie the background colour to the sub-file, or the tree?
In other words, if I have a small sub-model which is used directly in the
main model, and again in another sub-model, will the two instances have (for
example) different backgrounds?

For consistancy across all building instructions and consistancy with LEGO's
style, I much perfer the using the level (or depth) as the determinant for
construction image background, part image background, part annotation font
(axle lengths and such), part count anotation font controls, instead of the
possibility for unique controls on a sub-model by sub-model basis.

I agree, and I think this answers my question above but just wanted to be
sure 8?)

(...) You bring up an interesting and nasty case. What is missing from the explanation is that currently LPub renders the first occurrence of the sub-model, and skips the rest. To handle this case, LPub has to render all occurrences of the sub-model (...) (22 years ago, 4-Apr-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)
