(...) Oh yeah, the other exception would be a part substitution, like left minifig arm for right arm, or left wing plates for right wing plates. But watch out, some folks might object to substituting left-wing for right-wing of anything. ;^) (...) (20 years ago, 18-Jun-04, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Talking to myself... Here's what I'm talking about. Completely ripped off from the MLcad.ini file. (URL) one contains an entry every part in my parts.lst file. It needs to have the changes made for the exceptions, but here's how it starts. ; ; (...) (20 years ago, 18-Jun-04, to lugnet.cad)

(...) [...] (...) I think I've got a more general solution, but first a quick thought: You could make mirror.ini more human-readable if the 'normal' parts were just flagged. Something like: 2546.DAT default 41770.DAT exception 41769.DAT 0 1 0 0 0 1 (...) (20 years ago, 18-Jun-04, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Actually I was thinking of deleting them from the file to make it smaller. The only problem is remembering which ones were deleted and which ones are new at update time. I'm not sure how to automate additions either way. Probably have to use (...) (20 years ago, 18-Jun-04, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Keep a full.mirror.ini, with all the default entries. A simple grep drop the extra lines, giving us mirror.ini. (...) Well, it depends entirely on whether or not applying two mirroring transformations always gives an un-mirrored result. If (...) (20 years ago, 21-Jun-04, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Sorry, I misunderstood the terminology. I figured you could either mirror across a plane, or along a line. You can't mirror across a line - it's 1D. So I assumed when people were writing about mirroring 'across the Z axis', they meant to use (...) (20 years ago, 21-Jun-04, to lugnet.cad)
