Some programs can make use of the LGEO parts library; in that case the
result is CSG for any part that is in the library.

For small models, or models that use a gazillion of different parts,
that may be more memory-efficient. Haven't tested it though. The main
advantage of the LGEO parts library is that it is more precise.
