 | | Updated version of official part 756.dat [DAT]
|
|
Here is my suggestion for an update of the part 756.dat. See my post (URL) a background story on why I think it should be updated. You may worry that this part, having more rounded shapes and more polygons, will make the rendering of a hose more CPU (...) (25 years ago, 19-Apr-00, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) AFAIK, TLG hasn't said anything officially regarding LDraw or its parts libraries. I believe LDraw as a freeware program is well within its rights to contain SW elements as well. They aren't making official statements about it (IMO) because (...) (25 years ago, 19-Apr-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

What is the official view of lego on the ldraw rendering program and parts library? Does TLG have anything to say about the library? Is there anything that TLG would like us not to make and put into the library (e.g. some of the "star wars (...) (25 years ago, 19-Apr-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
