Hi Leonardo,

I already got the source and it works like a charm, thanks!

What happened to this early version of the generated library?

Thanks, that worked well! Does leocad read those LDraw files directly or does
there exist another program which converts these LDraw files into the leocad
format to create its built-in parts library?

While looking through the code I also noticed some other things:

Would it not be easier to create one part for a single stud and include that
into the other parts for each stud?

Would it also not be easier to use quadrilaterals for the sides of the bricks
instead of two triangles each?

I would like to add some other simple parts like a "higher" bricks (like a
1x2x5 brick) or corners (in brick as well as plate form). Would you accept such
a patch?

Would you accept a patch which adds simple slopes as well?

Thanks!

cheers, josch
