Hi Joshua,
please post. Could you be a bit more specific about the problems with the LDRAW
numbering system?
If guess the bit-mapping http://news.lugnet.com/cad/?n=11937 was a requirement
for backwards compatibility with LDraw which is obsolete now giving room to new
solutions. Read: www.ldraw.org/Article299.html
***************
CODE x - The LDraw color code. For LDraw compatibility, x is an integer 0-511.
If strict LDraw compatibility is not required, x is any identifier recognized by
a rendering program as a color code. Code is a required element.
***************
