  Re: Assembled parts, ~ and categories
 
(...) I'd like to chime in on this but from another perspective: non-consistency when using the tilde. The synthesized hose parts 755 and 756 have the tilde, but the hose end parts 750 and 752 do not. Apply this logic to the minifig chain and the (...) (15 years ago, 3-Jun-09, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: LDDP current version - BUG?
 
(...) Yes, this version is working like expected. Thanks for your quick fix. cu mikeheide (15 years ago, 1-Jun-09, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: LDDP current version - BUG?
 
(...) LDView doesn't check for duplicate lines at all, and probably won't ever, since it would add too much time to the loading time. Yes, you could disable that one warning, but I think that too many of my users leave all warnings and errors (...) (15 years ago, 1-Jun-09, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: LDDP current version - BUG?
 
(...) It seem the author uploaded a fix so I can't check with that file. I did find a bug that may have cased you problem though. I've uploaded a new version of LDDP that fixes this bug: https://sourceforge....a=23750809 -Orion (15 years ago, 1-Jun-09, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: LDDP current version - BUG?
 
(...) You're right. I don't know what I was thinking when I wrote the above. I'll look into the problem. -Orion (15 years ago, 1-Jun-09, to lugnet.cad)
 
  DATHeader version 2.0.4 for WINDOWS, LINUX and MAC
 
And here is the next release of DATHeader. The following happend: 1) Some more adjustments to recognize part type correctly 2) If EDIT commands used the current file will be unloaded. 3) Notify about wrong colors now without separate messages 4) (...)

  Re: LDDP current version - BUG?
 
(...) 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)
 
  Re: LDDP current version - BUG?
 
(...) 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)
 
  Re: LDDP current version - BUG?  [DAT]
 
(...) 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)
 
  Re: LDDP current version - BUG?
 
(...) I just checked this part. The 2 lines in question look to be concave in LDView. -Orion (16 years ago, 31-May-09, to lugnet.cad)
 
  LDDP current version - BUG?
 
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)

  Re: Suggestion: !TYPE line
 
(...) Sounds logical, but if we would have that in this way we just could go and hard color the part. At this point you should not be so narrow to the real part. In our part files there should be only the geometric data defined. The color is defined (...) (16 years ago, 29-May-09, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
 
  Suggestion: !TYPE line
 
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 (...)

  Re: Looking for dimensions of LEGO bricks.
 
(...) I was aware of the Kiddiecraft connection, and that TLC bought all the remaining rights from them at some point, but I thought the original Automatic Binding Bricks were a legally licensed copy/variation of the Kiddiecraft bricks. If they (...) (16 years ago, 28-May-09, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
 
  Re: Looking for dimensions of LEGO bricks.
 
(...) That's hardly some freak coincidence. The original 1949 Lego brick was an unauthorized copy of the Kiddicraft Self-Locking Building Brick, invented by an Englishman named Hilary Page. When the Christiansens got samples of them from the British (...) (16 years ago, 28-May-09, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

(...) Center-to-center, of course. The stud diameters differ by 0.028 between the drawings too, creating a diff of the gaps of 0.046 (but the length of the parts are exactly the same). (...) Well, the drawings are of parts, not molds (and the parts (...) (16 years ago, 27-May-09, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Looking for dimensions of LEGO bricks.
 
(...) That much? Wow. I figured the distance between two studs should be closer to 3mm, since a LEGO tile is (in theory) 3.2mm thick, and it will sorta fit between two studs. Or were you refering to the center-to-center distance? Anyways, one thing (...) (16 years ago, 27-May-09, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Looking for dimensions of LEGO bricks.
 
(...) I'm not at liberty to say too much, but I have actually looked at three real drawings of LEGO parts, and not even TLC seems to be sure what the dimensions should be - I've seen the distance between two studs dimensioned as 8 mm on one part and (...) (16 years ago, 26-May-09, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Looking for dimensions of LEGO bricks.
 
(...) I tried the experimental approach, built a long line of 23 x Technic beams 16 assembled with plates and measure the total length: 2937mm With 8mm distance between studs, the theoretical value is 2944mm, error is -0.23% With 5/16" distance (...) (16 years ago, 26-May-09, to lugnet.cad)
