If I'm not mistaken, LeoCAD uses a different parts format than LDraw.
Why does it do this?  Why not use the native LDraw parts library?
(Excuse my ignorance if that applies.)

Is it possible to convert LDraw part files to a format understood by
LeoCAD?

I couldn't find any information at all about the LeoCAD part format on
the homepage.  Did I miss it?

(...) Because LeoCAD is (or should be) able to render pictures in realtime, so it uses some optimizations that would be too slow to do with standard LDraw files. It also stores some more information, like the position of the studs and the places (...) (25 years ago, 27-Nov-99, to lugnet.cad.leocad)
