The LDSWITCH statements can be safely deleted from the model files of Datsville. I never finished the implementation of those META statements.
The idea was to have two or more versions of a model in one file, for example different levels of simplification using LDBoxer. With an external "Switch" program, I wanted to be able to change the quality settings in a fully reversible way.
Also, I wanted to be able to switch on and off the headlights (Standard color 47/DatShine *L47.dat version) of a vehicle for example.
But I messed up my own standard and did never develop that shell program that was supposed to automatically switch the settings inside the models, and eventually I gave up *.LDraw .
