There is another possibility to consider. Maybe the currently active part authors (such as me) do not have a copy of this part to work from. Also, I seem to recall that someone had finished this part, but it had size problems. Does anyone remember (...) (25 years ago, 14-Jun-99, to lugnet.cad)

I can understand Doyle's impatience, but I also am aware that making good LDraw parts is difficult. The tools available are not like mainstream 3D design tools. That could also be a contributing factor. As far as the Castle doors go, if John is (...) (25 years ago, 15-Jun-99, to lugnet.cad)
