Export of .mpd to single 'stand-alone' .ldr file ?

[Rob]

Hi,

Can anyone point me in the direction of an application or utility which will take a multi-part ldraw file (i.e. an .mpd file) and convert it into a single 'standalone' LDR file ?

i.e. something which takes an mpd file and outputs the 'absolute' position and rotation of each part in the model referenced to the origin - not to another part of the model.

Hope that makes sense...

I've had a go writing a conversion myself but got bogged down - has to be recursive I think for multiple 'nested' models.

If no such thing exists could any one give me some tips (not code necessarily) but the method I would need follow to acheive what I'm after ?

Thanks.
