(...) I don't think so, as the official document ((URL) reads like this: Line Type 2 Line type 2 is a line drawn between two points. The generic format is: 2 <colour> x1 y1 z1 x2 y2 z2 Where: * <colour> is a number representing the colour of the (...) (16 years ago, 31-May-09, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Concave is not the same as co-planer. Co-planarity checks to see if all the points in the quad lie on the same plane (with in some tolerance). You can have a co-planer, concave quad. (...) Those are illegal type 2 lines as they have 3 points (...) (16 years ago, 31-May-09, to lugnet.cad)

(...) I just checked an LDView reports concave quads. Can somebody explain that to me, as I believed it can be checked with planarcheck, but co-planarity is ok. One other thing. At part (URL) LDDP does not find any double lines. But there are double (...) (16 years ago, 31-May-09, to lugnet.cad)

I just came across the following problem. For part (URL) LDDP generate 2 error regarding planarity. Planarcheck does not. Anybody with similar experience? cu mikeheide (16 years ago, 30-May-09, to lugnet.cad)

LEGO parts may vary in colour and pattern, but they are always of the same material. For example, there is no such thing as a Technic Axle 7 made of rubber or the Axle Flexible 7 that's solid, is there? Here I got an idea: have parts identify what (...) (16 years ago, 29-May-09, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
