Here's what I did:
in MS-DOS, in the LGEO directory, I typed
dir *.inc > lgeo.txt
I opened the text file in Excel to grab the column of available part
files. I reopened the text file and separated "lg_", the part #, and
".inc" into three different columns so that I could grab all the
corresponding part numbers.
I then added columns into the spreadsheet to define the L3P part names to
the corresponding LGEO part names. When I noticed that slopes weren't
rendering, I manually moved all the sloped parts to the end of the list
and added the sloped portion into a union of the part and the slope.
All you have to do is include the line:
#if (QUAL > 1) #include "lgeo_2_l3p.inc" #end
(well, the #if isn't really necessary, but that way you can still have
the bounding-box only parts) after any set of part declarations.
Consider this L3P file:
#declare part1
#declare part2
#declare part3
#declare part4
#declare part5
#declare submodel
#declare part6
#declare part7
#declare part8
#declare model
I think for the include to work correctly, you need to include the file
after #declare part5 and after #declare part8
