Good thought. It probably wound work quite well, just like Lego. My
remaining opinion is - try to stay with the original intention of LDraw,

3D *Lego* models, not an all-inclusive CAD program for building toys that
clone or loosely represent it. I doubt James would have accepted other
brands into LDraw.
