I hate to break it to you Jonathon, but neither of these parts are
correct. The computer screen pattern is not the same one as on the other
computer screen parts.  The way you made the tecnic pin, it would be
useless because you could never get a technic beam to the middle spot.

Whoa.  Wow.  Yes.  That is frightening.

I don't have any more of these 3L Friction-Peg/Stop-Bush combo elements left
(sold them all) to compare to Jonathan's drawing, but I do remember, now
that you point it out, Bram, that the element *is* supposed to fit cleanly
(but snugly) through two side-by-side beams (or any peg holes).

Jonathan:  If these two parts are representative of your best work, then you
should seriously consider taking a leave of absence from this line of work.

You are trying to shoot a free-throw from the far end of the court.
Practice near the basket first, and when you can consistently make it from
there, gradually back up until you can master the shot from increasing
distances.  When you can make the shot from center court, then come back and
make parts again.

p.s.  Deep down, I'm a nice guy (really :), and I don't enjoy playing the
"bad guy" role, but sometimes someone has to step up and fill that role,
even if they end up looking like an arse or a bully in doing so.  I don't
want to hurt you, I just think you need a dose of reality.

(...) I have centered some of my mockup parts by creating a model that inludes only that part. Then using LDAO, I inline the model and the dummy model becomes the part itself, but this time is centered! :-) Laurentino Martins (...) (26 years ago, 10-Apr-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

with the pin long with stop bush: none of the other technic pins fit into a beam either... i think it is something wrong with the positioning of the primitives (26 years ago, 10-Apr-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
