Level B Simplification: Replace with plain boxes only those parts that has
all its studs and inside totally hidden by other parts.

I've just finished a program that scans for all non-transparent parts that
has their studs and bottoms covered with other non-transparent parts. Then
it replaces them with plain boxes, relieving POV from rendering studs and
tubes that can't possibly be seen anyway.

  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!
