| (...) snip (...) Alas. That is what I'm supposed to see, not what I actually do see. Something is convinced that the 0,0,0 rotation is actually equal to the default 3D angle, which causes requests for the real default 3D angle to be over-rotated. (...)

There are 4 kinds of ROTSTEPS: REL, ABS, ADD, END For REL, you add the angles from the ROTSTEP meta to the default viewing angle to get the (...) (16 years ago, 6-Nov-08, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac, FTX)

| (...) Well, Allen said that the LDView 4 test build fixed the problem. At a guess, LPub using -cg on the command line (to set the camera angle to 0 so that all the rotation can be in the model itself?) and the QT version isn't handling that like it (...)
