  Re: Idea: How starting to work for a unique Lego piece naming convention?
 
(...) Sybrand, Since you're looking at an incredibly huge undertaking, be sure to seek out and make the most of every last bit of info you can find on the net about anything related to this. (But don't give up! :-) Here are some related things which (...) (25 years ago, 6-Jul-99, to lugnet.admin.database, lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.db.inv, lugnet.general)
 
  Re: Idea: How starting to work for a unique Lego piece naming convention?
 
I think that it would be unwise to use words such as vertical clip or gable in part nomenclatures. The gable end piece was designed to be used to complete the gable of a roof, yet it might be used for an entirely different purpose. A 1 x 1 with (...)

  Re: Idea: How starting to work for a unique Lego piece naming convention?
 
(...) To start with the second point you mention: I don't think anyone should be obliged to used the `standard' nomenclature. As you say, for different applications the best name to use can vary for a piece. Even, if one wants to call a 1x1 brick a (...)

  Re: Idea: How starting to work for a unique Lego piece naming convention?
 
(...) For a lot of basic bricks, plates, tiles, etc, we seem to do OK. But other areas we seem to have trouble with the piece names. One area in particular that I've seen some problems are sloped brick peaks or apex bricks. Let's start there. Do we (...)

  Re: Idea: How starting to work for a unique Lego piece naming convention?
 
(...) My feeling is that it would be good to have a standard set of names for auctions and inventories. It would be nice if LDraw could use these names also, but sounds like there is good reason for it to use a different set of names. Two sets of (...)
