Wow, good questions. We know that some collision detection is already
practical - Eric Olsen demonstrated that over a year ago. But
decomposing LDraw parts into convex objects, that would be a trick.
Each external box 5 (or pair of box 5's) would have to be split into 5
different subparts.
What about antistud tubes? How could those be decomposed?

| It has been said that, with ldraw parts, we have the geometry of TLG bricks. This is rather optimistic. Because geometry would be CSG descriptions that allow much more (although slower) than quads and triangles. CSG descriptions allow part collision (...)
