Hi,
I'm the author of SR 3D Builder and I was thinking that the update were
including part corrections and fixes at least for the official parts, but I
understand that is a huge work.
Since my appl loads the whole part library to build images for all parts, it's
easy for me to find bad lines.
Here are some other personal consideration about part library:
- as I have already told in a previous post in this subject I don't think it's a
good idea to include optional parts in the installation of the update since this
can cause people not installing them cannot load some model.
- Personally I dislike pre-colored parts because they are not useful since you
can change the color of any base part and can generate confusion in newbie.
- "official parts" should be removed from "unofficial parts" library. This is
currently making a lot of confusion in choosing parts
- last and most IMPORTANT: If anyone has the time to translate part description
and put them in a separate file (in the format "PartFileName (TAB)
"PartDescription") for each language, I can make my application load this
translation without having to change part definition. This is a great step
forward for everybody
Please let me know your opinion
