This question has been on my mind too a bit, as I have thought of the
possibility to 'import' LDRAW parts to BlockCAD (with a lot of manual
massaging of course, but still using the work done on the original parts).
I haven't come to the coding stage yet, so it's not a pressing question for
me, but as you mentioned it...
Is it possible to use the LDRAW parts in such a way, or should I forget it?
