  Re: BrikTrak 2002 Beta 1 Now Available.
 
(...) Can't say that quite yet - will try when I get home. I confirmed it doesn't install on NT (maybe you should spell this out - have a "requirements" page or something). And I almost puked when that bright green install screen came up - any (...) (22 years ago, 24-Jul-02, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.general, lugnet.market.brickshops)
 
  Re: Renaming of 2916.dat
 
(...) It is not my intention to control the fate of this part forever and ever. But to have some input as to how it is categorized and where it ends up in the parts list. (...) (22 years ago, 24-Jul-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

  CMDLINE Meta-statement
 
I understand the mechanics but could someone explain to me (or point me to a link than explains) what the CMDLINE meta-statement's purpose and use is? -Orion (22 years ago, 23-Jul-02, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Part Fix 3959 Space Gun  [DAT]
 
I redid the part using torus primitives. I think it looks better w/ torii for the handle and cones for the large end cylinder. Also, the large end torii would look a little better if I had a t0401250 primitive but I couldn't find one. As for the (...) (22 years ago, 23-Jul-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
 
  Re: Part Fix 3959 Space Gun
 
(...) Ha! :) That's a very good idea, IMO. Although many US'ians won't get the possible double-reference. Err, this part *has* been used as a flashlight, right? Steve (22 years ago, 23-Jul-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
 
  Re: Part Fix 3959 Space Gun
 
(...) Sorry, I made a stupid confusion with part 4349. My proposal name for 3959 is "Minifig Torch". Damien (22 years ago, 23-Jul-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
 
  Re: Part Fix 3959 Space Gun
 
(...) Why not "Minifig Loudhailer" ? It applies to both town and space themes and is certainly the initial intent of TLG. Damien (22 years ago, 23-Jul-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
 
  Re: Renaming of 2916.dat
 
(...) I would argue that 2917 probably belongs in windscreen or window, I guess? In an ideal world there would be a way to associate a part with its "partner" as it were without using naming, there just would be a link between them somehow. (...)

  Re: Renaming of 2916.dat
 
(...) True, but I feel this part might fall under Larry's "terribly unwieldy" escape clause. Even if he doesn't think so. (...) It's arguable at this point, but the long-term general idea is that you can do whatever you want with your original file, (...) (22 years ago, 23-Jul-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
 
  Re: So what *IS* a Building Instruction anyway?
 
(...) Hmm. LDAO can do this. Or, it used to be able to. In the HTML instruction generator, it would scan for 0 SUB meta-statements in the main text. the 0 SUB line(s) would reference files that the HTML-IG would render as an inset subassembly. I (...) (22 years ago, 23-Jul-02, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: File Header request for Minifig Parts
 
BTW, I found part of that discussion I mentioned in my other post. Here's the text. I don't think Terry will mind me posting it. The file I found this in is dated 7/5/2001, the discussion is possibly a year older than that. Some things are out of (...) (22 years ago, 23-Jul-02, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
 
  Re: Renaming of 2916.dat
 
(...) Probably true. Some discussion on the train related parts to establish general standards may help though, and it may make sense to do so in the context of specific parts. With respect to this one, does it at all make sense to change the name (...) (22 years ago, 23-Jul-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

  Re: Renaming of 2916.dat
 
(...) Hey - my first PTadmin hornet's nest !! Here's my rationalisation for changing the name, FWIW. The only comment on the part name in the review history is from Steve Bliss. No-one challenged Steve's suggestion that it should be linked by name (...) (22 years ago, 23-Jul-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
 
  Re: File Header request for Minifig Parts
 
Hi Willy (and everyone :), I mostly agree with your idea that 'minifig parts' need to be rearranged. This has been a back-burner project of mine for over a year (and it had been thought about for much longer than that). Here are some things to keep (...)

  Re: So what *IS* a Building Instruction anyway?
 
[ XFUT lugnet.cad ] (...) Yes, but sometimes it is not exactly in an ideal form for the renderers we have at hand today. It would for example be practical, if it was possible: * to tell the renderer that something ought to be rendered as a (...) (22 years ago, 23-Jul-02, to lugnet.build, lugnet.general, lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Part Fix 3959 Space Gun
 
(...) If I'm remembering the part right (sorry, I don't have one handy), I'd definitely want to use torii for the ribs. If you ask Paul Easter nicely, he might generate the file for you. (...) No ideas here, and I've been thinking about it for over (...) (22 years ago, 23-Jul-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
