(...) So it appears as if we agree that L3P-generated objects don't really belong in official LDRAW part files. Once again this brings us back to the 0 INCLUDE suggestion.

(...) No, I meant the POVRay code referring to L3P-generated objects. By allowing this code in official part files, we'd be endorsing language that hasn't been generally discussed and reviewed. Not that I see any particular problem with the code. (...) (23 years ago, 28-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) The LGEO parts have rounded edges. That's why it doesn't make sense to have a "seam" between the parts. And Mega-POV will not be able to identify the edges simply because there are no edges!
