First:
ttore.dat is a model of my parents' house, included in Datsville.
ttore.box is the boundary box file for that very model.
Just wanted to clarify.
I have made some files like 3001.box, 3002.box etc. (Still missing some,
like Plate 1 x 6.)
With a proper header, they could be officialized(?)
If programs like MLCad has an option like "Replace All Standard Parts with
boxes", it's a piece of cake to add code like this:
//pseudocode: if (ReplaceAllWithBoxes.Checked && fileexist("3001.box"))
//pseudocode: use("3001.box");
//pseudocode: else
//pseudocode: use("3001.dat");
Then next step is "Replace Selected..." but that's another tale...
Replacing models is more complicated, but I really like the idea.
I would like to be able to replace a yellow house with black sloping roof
with a black (triangeloid*) on top of a yellow box.
*) Don't know the English term. You know what I mean.
A very good thing I experimented with was to "paint" the bbox representing
the Datsville University trans-blue!
Another thing I've tried was Y-filtering the building, removing all above -72.
Oh dear, this shouldn't be posted here.
But, without studs the feeling of building would somehow spoiled a bit...
