(...) I have done something like that for LeoCAD, it removes the studs above and below the bricks and plates for the rendering. I haven't added this option for the POV-Ray export but that's something that I can do if you want. Leonardo (24 years ago, 27-Mar-00, to lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Basically it checks if a stud primitive is close to a "inverted stud" (the cylinders under a plate for example) or to some predefined points added by me and remove them.

(...) It does take some extra time to load a big file but the speed increase later is well worth it. After doing the initial calculations, you only need to check the studs for the bricks you move so it's very fast. Leonardo (24 years ago, 29-Mar-00, to lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.cad.dev)
