  Re: Segmented parts (ie hoses and flex tubes)
 
(...) Doing so would cause a problem with LeoCad which doesn't display primitives not included in a part. This is the case with flexible axles (created form primitives), they have to be created as part, then imported as new part in LeoCad library... (...)

  A few quick LDraw Questions
 
Hello I have a few questions that I need answered, First is there a way to get the Burnt Orange color in LDraw? Does anyone have any of these files that are unofficial but almost complete? a)401c (1 x 6 x 1 inverted curve) b)41765 & 41764 (2 x 6 x 1 (...) (22 years ago, 24-Aug-02, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Segmented parts (ie hoses and flex tubes)
 
(...) Actually, the part mentioned was in the Parts directory (it is an official part), so it would presumably be shrunk by L3P. As for the rest, I agree that making them primitives makes sense, but I'm not sure the part authors will agree. I guess (...) (22 years ago, 24-Aug-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Segmented parts (ie hoses and flex tubes)
 
(...) I think it would be reasonable to consider segments as primitives. Move them to the P folder. Then they will not be shrunk. End pieces are still considered as parts. I don't know how the curve generator works, but if it generates a new (...) (22 years ago, 24-Aug-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, lugnet.cad.dev)

  Re: Segmented parts (ie hoses and flex tubes)
 
(...) This sounds like a good idea to me, except for one thing: the 0 LDRAW_ORG lines are generated at release-time by the release script. Every type listed is determined by other data in the file, or about the file -- parts are in the /parts (...) (22 years ago, 23-Aug-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, lugnet.cad.dev)

  Segmented parts (ie hoses and flex tubes)
