How about dropping the AA ? So far, IIRC, no-one has ever used it. If another value than the default (0x80?) is wanted, it can be put into the MATERIAL section: transparent=25% The we will use the familiar LDraw color codes for both EdgeColor and (...)

(...) Ok, I was agreeing with your proposal to make it optional and relegate it to the end of the line with the MATERIAL properties.

Hi there! Neither do I rendering nor am I enemy of POV-ray, still posting this: I've found an LDraw to RenderMan convertor here:(URL) it might be useful for, let's say, 0.5% of you ;) bye rob (21 years ago, 24-Sep-03, to lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) No it's not. If the render is old and not updated then it will never the ldconfig.ldr file anyhow, so the dithered colors in ledit and ldraw will never change. This is for the future. (...)

(...) I seem to have a few of these white (sort of a chalky gray-white, in my collection) tires from the early 70's, but I have no idea which of my early sets included them.
