Perhaps I should say that my interest in this is that I am involved in the
project on the next-door website to develop an LDraw program for MacOS X,
and I think connections should be built in from the start.
I had a look at the LCD page on the LDraw website and was struck by the fact
that, although there is a discussion of parts which move, there is no
distinction drawn between parts which move freely, and parts which move when
pushed hard. This difference is extremely important to Technical lego. For
example, there are two sorts of pin connection: the black ones twist when
pushed, and the grey ones twist freely. Similarly, most gears slide along
rods when pushed, but worm gears slide along freely.
Please make this distinction before building up a large database!
Barney.
