So, I made this tutorial about being a reviewer and review parts in the Parts
Tracker:
http://www.l3go.bugge.com/articles/Reviewing-parts-tutorial.shtml
Eventually it’ll end up in the article section of Ldraw, but right now I’d just
like to hear some feedback/suggestions from the general community, especially
concerning illustrations.
It’s basically a major upgrade of this thread:
http://news.lugnet.com/cad/?n=11914 (wow that was a long time ago!).
It is supposed to be a basic introduction about reviewing, so more advanced
stuff about the correct use of submodels, patterned parts, primitives etc. - and
how to review these is not included: the tutorial is already long enough, and I
don’t know enough about these aspects.
I hope somebody else will be inspired to make a tutorial that takes reviewing
the next step from mine (I’d like to read it!). And of course - that a lot of
people will decide to become reviewers or parts authors - it’s really not that
difficult and with the ever increasing complexity and number of new parts, we
need you to participate!
Cheers NB

| Niels, Thanks for putting this together. It is good to encourage new people to become reviewers, and to reassure them that it isn't that hard to do. Now, some of my personal observances: IMO, the most useful thing for a new reviewer to understand (...) (18 years ago, 18-Jul-06, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
