Someone mentioned AoI a while back. At the additional prompting, I
downloaded the app (and the source and docs) and started researching what would
be needed.
Simple reading and writing of ldr files seems pretty straightforward. I have

interface geared towards LEGO CAD is a little more complex. The AoI interface
is geared towards primitives, not sub-objects. I think it can be adapted
though. I'm not overflowing with free time, but I'm going to give it a try.
I'll keep ya'll updated. My first objective is to allow AoI to import a ldr
file.
