Right. So who is to change the name then? Peeron or LDraw? (18 years ago, 29-Sep-08, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) But if you use the part properly* it's 31 degrees. The 45 slope is named for its face slope rather than its total slope. Tim * And by properly I, of course, mean use a heap of offsetting to make them all line up ;) (18 years ago, 29-Sep-08, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) OK, while testing and playing around with LPub 4 I tried some new techniques I've come up with. I've recreated the "exact" instructions for set 4491. (URL) the same file in LPub 4.0.0.0 and 4.0.0.1 gives different outputs. I've uploaded the (...) (18 years ago, 29-Sep-08, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Why does the follow-up go to the Robotics group? This is a CAD / LDraw issue, so it should be lugnet.cad.dat.parts. (My mistake in the first place to post it to lugnet.cad ;-) (18 years ago, 29-Sep-08, to lugnet.cad)

Part 50746 is called Slope Brick 33 1 x 1 x 2/3 on Peeron, but this one and and 54200 are called Slope Brick 45 1 x 1 x 2/3 in LDraw and in the unofficial parts. What should it be? 33 of 45 degrees? (18 years ago, 26-Sep-08, to lugnet.cad)

I think it would be cool if people collaborated to create a desktop theme using LDraw/POVRay. Here's one for Disney that kind of gives an idea of what could be done: (URL) (18 years ago, 25-Sep-08, to lugnet.cad)
