hi,
Since July 2024, I, along with a friend have been working on a digital Lego building tool that can do advanced part(s) substitutions on LDRAW models, in a scripting syntax + tool suite.
While I have stud and clutch detection, a lot of parts do not have snapping info which is a big problem.
Without the part snapping info , it either fails with "no such primative(s) found in %partid%.dat, or it connects the part either too close or far away.
Other times it does detect the studs and clutches and therefore the snapping info, but does the same.
And other times, it correctly connects the parts.
What I did about it on my end is fix my tools z axis bug, and I am working on correcly parsing snapping info that is not top-level reference in a parts .dat file.
But since I'm only a beginner when it comes to parts editing I don't really want to start editing like thousands of part .dat files.
