		Thread: Export of .mpd to single 'stand-alone' .ldr file ? Post: Re: Export of .mpd to single 'stand-alone' .ldr fi... As if often the case (!) - the mistake was mine - not the model.

I'm trying to achive an LDR file which has only type 1 lines ideally. Any custom rotations should be 'incorporated' into the flatten function so that the pieces...

Hi Michael, The order in which the parts appear is not important (I can sort them how I like later). Starting from with a single MPD file, which may contain 'in-line' ldr files or links to 'exte...

I took a look at MPDCenter - not heard of it before - but doesn't seem to do what I need. I think I have to start at the 'deepest' nested model and work backw...
