My thought was that the smoothing could be turned on and off, as
appropriate. That would require metastatements in the parts files.
Extra metastatements will slow down processing, but not by very much.
They will also increase file size, but again, not by very much. Unless
someone likes to turn triangle smoothing on and off a lot.

| (...) I agree with Steve. My program is processing mesh by mesh, try it by using the clipboard-feature. You would give away control facilities if there's no control in the dat-file.

| I know this is an old discussion, but I really like Steve's idea of meta-statements to control this. What would be really cool is to have all the primitives and parts in the parts library have the meta-statements that simply turn smooth triangles on (...) (22 years ago, 11-Nov-02, to lugnet.cad.ray)
