  Re: BFC and Primitives
 
(...) I forgot complication #3: 3. If the file you are reviewing has an embedded transparent area, you won't be able to check the BFC'ness of any surface viewed *through* the transparent area. You can fall back on viewing the part with mytest6 (...) (23 years ago, 20-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
 
  Re: Part numbers
 
(...) I found this email exchange between Joshua Delahunty, you and I on L-CAD from 1998 in my archive <QUOTE> Steve said: (...) Hmm. I could've sworn I've written e-mail to you, Steve, on this specifically. From my database, I have a part number of (...) (23 years ago, 20-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
 
  Re: Part numbers
 
(...) I'd heard about that, but I'd forgotten the second number existed! (...) Yes, there are other parts with multiple numbers, for various reasons. In the most recent parts update, we released 4 "cross-reference" part files. This was our first (...) (23 years ago, 20-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
 
  Re: New Part: x744.dat - Technic Gear 42 Tooth
 
(...) One of the main limitations (bugs?) in L3Lab is that it assumes the main file is BFC'able, whether it's marked that way or not. I think that comes from the assumption that the main file will generally be a model, and models are generally (...) (23 years ago, 20-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
 
  In Progress: 30621.dat - Brick 12 x 2 with lots of stuff  [DAT]
 
Here's a part from the very popular ;o) Jack Stone set #4604. I will not have that much time to work on it in the near future. Anybody is free to finish it. Four more thing yet to do: * The studs under the six horizontal tubes * The curved slopes on (...) (23 years ago, 20-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
 
  Re: New Part: x744.dat - Technic Gear 42 Tooth
 
The problem is I can't confirm postings with long lines while using webmail instead of the pop server I currently am unable to access. I uploaded a better version at: (URL) problem is that when using BFC primitives, they often "disappear" for me in (...) (23 years ago, 20-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
 
  Re: 3867 Baseplate 16 x 16 with Island Pattern
 
(...) Yes that's it, but my version is that the water is alreddy hardcoded with blue and the baseplate is gray. What version is better? CU Bernd (23 years ago, 20-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
 
  Part numbers
 
Hi all, I have found at a 30117 - 'Panel 10 x 10 x 2&1/3 Quarter Saucer Top' the number 30320 (it's a transp. light green one). So my question is what about this two diffrent numbers on the same part and are there other parts with different numbers? (...) (23 years ago, 19-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
 
  Re: New Part: x744.dat - Technic Gear 42 Tooth
 
Thanks Tore (...) and I was wondering if the file may have got corupted? I can post the error message if that would be helpful. Best Regards Chris (23 years ago, 20-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
 
  Re: Requesting another plug-in for LDDesignPad
 
(...) Ah, I see what you mean (or I think I do)! I don't have the time to try it out right now, but I look forward to trying this. Thanks! --Ryan (23 years ago, 20-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: FAQ for Part Reviewers (was: Re: BFC and Primitives)
 
(...) I think no. If it were so, it would stifle input from those who want to help, but have never (yet?) authored a part. I understand that one who is a parts author would possibly have a better eye for detail in reviewing; it would merely need to (...) (23 years ago, 19-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

  FAQ for Part Reviewers (was: Re: BFC and Primitives)
 
(...) It was pointed out to me, offline, that one key question not addressed in the FAQ is this: "Do you have to be a part author to be a part reviewer?" What do you all think about this? Yes? No? Have No Idea? LMK. Steve (23 years ago, 19-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
 
  Re: BFC and Primitives

  3867 Baseplate 16 x 16 with Island Pattern  [DAT]
 
I decided to try to create a patterned piece that was missing for ldraw, so here is the island baseplate seen in a couple of Pirate sets. This is my first try at making a part, so let me know if I'm doing something terribly wrong. Andy 0 Baseplate (...) (23 years ago, 19-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
 
  Re: 2618.dat Auqanaut Bubble Base (Updated)
 
(...) Generally, parts should be modelled right side up -- ie, in the orientation you would expect to see them in lego building instructions. With studs-up. For parts that don't have an obvious "upright" sense, your best bet is to look at other, (...) (23 years ago, 19-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
 
  Re: 2618.dat Aquanaut Bubble Base (Updated, Again)
 
(...) Look at an inverted slope brick file (like, ummm, (URL)) to see how the problem is solved using the p-files stud2a.dat and 2-4cyls.dat. stud2a.dat is the same as stud2.dat, except there are no edgelines around the base of the stud. 2-4cyls.dat (...)

  Re: Requesting another plug-in for LDDesignPad
 
(...) Actually, you could try this. First scale your primitives by 0.64. Then scale the parts by 0.64. Then fix the primitives inside the parts by rescaling the type 1 lines that pull in the primitives by 1.5625. I just tried this with ldglite on (...) (23 years ago, 19-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Requesting another plug-in for LDDesignPad
 
(...) Ah, I see your problem. You want to rescale the primitives internally, and not rescale them in the type 1 lines where they're included by the part files. If you were on linux, you could probably do this by adding a few lines of code to the (...) (23 years ago, 19-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
