(...) A "version" meta tag might work too. It could be used for any part--not just betas. IIRC, some parts were already released as "official" parts, but were updated at some later point in time for one reason or another. -Mike (16 years ago, 7-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad)

--snip-- (...) Adding a beta meta (hehehe) would be a nice way to deal with parts that have enough votes to be released but haven't made it to an official release. Tim (16 years ago, 7-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Ah-ha! I thought that we were talking about random unofficial parts culled form the ether. But if LDraw's at the wheel, then how about including something like "BETA" in the unofficial part's description: Brick 2 x 4 (BETA) That would add only (...) (16 years ago, 7-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Ah--I get it. I was thinking that it would be sufficient to include it somewhere in the hidden text of the file, but if we're talking about the actual part name, then I can see how that might not work. Dave! (16 years ago, 7-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad)

When I'm done with my current project I think I will see about starting to create a bones system for LDraw minifigs so that they can be posed in a manner similar to a lot of official Lego software. I think I will do this in Daz, which AFAIK is free (...) (16 years ago, 6-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad)
