(...) er... ya. Didn't they actually DO green string already or am I misremembering? (...) That's pathetic. (19 years ago, 26-Apr-05, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Will it be a problem if LEGO ever do green string? ;) At this time, using the best available string element seems like the way to go. AFAIK, Larry's string is the best. Steve (19 years ago, 26-Apr-05, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Hey, thanks testing it out. You're right about the conditionals zig-zagging a bit. I still have the feeling that if the surface were pinned down to the concave green line those zig-zags would go away. But I couldn't decide whether to divvy it (...)

(...) Umm... you REALLY should use a better string element than mine! It is really not very accurate as it doesn't model the three strands at all. It was just a quick hack, and it has fixed colors, if LEGO ever do red or white string it won't work. (...) (19 years ago, 26-Apr-05, to lugnet.cad)

LSynth implement's Larry's string cross section (no use ducking Larry) to create string using the hose synthesis class (this means splined strings with nice smooth curves). I think that a string type that uses pulleys as constraints is important (...) (19 years ago, 26-Apr-05, to lugnet.cad)

(...) The following are the appropriate conditionals for Don's surface. Playing with it you can have angles where the conditionals seem to go too far, but it's certainly much better than the current ones. (Note that the last 4 conditionals are only (...)

(...) I believe that is because s/41770s01.dat was certified and released in previous parts update (in this case 2004-04), and the parts tracker only displays dependencies that are currently on the tracker.

I recently downloaded the latest batch of parts from the LDraw Parts Tracker, and found three parts that were missing sub-files.
