| My thought was that the smoothing could be turned on and off, as appropriate. That would require metastatements in the parts files. Extra metastatements will slow down processing, but not by very much. They will also increase file size, but again, (...) (23 years ago, 24-Sep-01, to lugnet.cad.ray)

| Instead of shoving all these metastatements into files, maybe a file conversion utility (DAT -> POV) should keep an INI file that records which parts can be processed in this way, and which cannot. I'm basing this suggestion on the assumption that (...) (23 years ago, 22-Sep-01, to lugnet.cad.ray)

| (...) Wow! Yes, I'd say it's definitely of interest! At least it is to me. :) (...) Heck yeah! Would there be any point to discussing possible meta-statements, to turn smoothing on and off for different sections of part files? Steve (23 years ago, 21-Sep-01, to lugnet.cad.ray)

| (...) Another idea is to choose different angles depending on how long the edges are next to that angle. For longer edges, a smaller bend is more likely to be a real crease. I used to use this sort of heuristic in edge detection image processing (...) (23 years ago, 21-Sep-01, to lugnet.cad.ray)

| Hi, I think the following is of interest in this newsgroup: L3P generates "meshes" of parts from Ldraw, that are not in LGEO and not covered by other special handling. Meshes consist of triangles and there are creases, if triangles from different (...) (23 years ago, 13-Sep-01, to lugnet.cad.ray)
