Yes that was me and it's great to have you back. I always use LGEO for my
renders because of the high quality which is one reason I started this thread...
I want more parts to match LGEO's standards :)

allow use of all parts in all libraries would be satisfactory to me.

I think this is probably wisest. With luck we'll see a new version of l3p
soonish.
