  Re: L3P error fixing idea (this looks better in raw text, I think)

  Jango and Boba Fett helmet/jetpack
 
I'm about to tackle modeling these parts, and wanted to make sure no one else has beat me to it. I've looked on the ldraw.org parts tracker and searched here on lugnet, and there's no "claim" staked on it yet. Anyway, if no one posts in the next 24 (...)

  L3P error fixing idea (this looks better in raw text, I think)  [DAT]
 
Some months back Lars was kind enough to email me about some errors he'd noticed in a part that I posted to .cad.parts. Most were "bad vertex sequence," but there were a few "identical line" errors and the like. At first my heart dropped when I (...) (22 years ago, 10-Jun-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

  L3P -check error messages
 
I was reading the L3P -check error mesage guidelines in the PT reaference section and came up with a few questions: 1. When using the -dist command what should the acceptible value.
