I was reading through bits of Ldraw.org and came upon this section:
http://www.ldraw.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=218#colors
Specifically, this note under "Colors."
"Colors 256-512 are dithered colors. Only line type 1 is allowed to use colors
256-512."
Is that correct? In other words, I can't make an irregular quadrilateral in
color 285? And does "allowed" mean "permitted by the software" or "accepted by
convention" in this context? I know with certainty that I've used dithered
256-512 colors in all manner of linetype 3 and linetype 4 statements in my
files.
Any insight is much appreciated.
Dave!
