(...) You're probably right. The strictest definition is 1 LDU equals 1/20 the width of a 1x1 brick (whatever that measurement turns out to be). -Orion (20 years ago, 26-Feb-05, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

I would strongly argue that Lego, being a Danish creation, is in fact metric by design, and that 1 LDU is (...) (20 years ago, 26-Feb-05, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) But what's required by/for the parts library is different from what the basic file format spec lays out. I think it is better (more flexible, easier to write) for the file format to be flexible. When I'm doing rough coding of new parts, I (...) (20 years ago, 25-Feb-05, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) All BFC requires is uniform, non-bowtie winding. While currently the spec doesn't require winding, I see no reason not to revise the new spec to make it a requirement.

Regarding the proposed file format document: (URL) is no mention of the scale used by the x/y/z triplets in the various linetypes. I would suggest there should be a paragraph introducing the concept of LDU, and how it relates to bricks and "real (...) (20 years ago, 24-Feb-05, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
