Hi Stephen,
An email thread with Roland convinced me to use the .ldr file directly too -- this is what I have for the current format (an excerpt):
- The comments tell the parser what the relationship names are and who is a parent-child.
- Parents can be offset from 0,0,0 to make the file more viewable.
- The file is currently 'flat' - steps and mpd sub-files are ignored - so an author can use them for organization but they are not needed to make the relationships.
Cheers
Ben
