Just so you don't interpret the paucity of responses to indicate a lack of
interest, let me say for the record that this sounds like a fantastic
utility! I haven't had time to download and install it yet, but I will try
to do so when I get home from work tonight.
On what basis does the program identify studs? That is, I know that the
line-as-stud option in LEdit identifies "stud" in the primitive's filename,
but L3P doesn't seem to do it the same way. Just curious.
Thanks for a cool resource!
Dave!
