New Parts for LGEO Library

[Christophe Mitillo]

Hi Damien,

I'm still amazed on how detailed your parts are. If you don't mind, I have a couple of question regarding your library.

I see that you convert your parts from CATIA to Povray using STL2pov. I tried myself using the converter a few years ago after designing my own hires parts with Solidworks. Although I had no issues when converting to simple triangles, the conversion to smooth triangles always messed up the result giving misoriented polygons. Curiously the result was part triangles and part smooth triangles.
How do you process your parts prior to conversion to have only smooth triangles ?
Regarding your printed parts, I'm curious about the way you convert flat 2D patterns to 3D objects. Is it automated or do you process each pattern manually ?
