(...) I'll defer to Steve for final ruling but here are my thoughts: Ask yourself the following question: Does the portion I'm leaving out detract from functionality of the part? This question applies especially to the "fins" that you show concern (...) (22 years ago, 20-Sep-02, to lugnet.cad)

I don't know of there is any "status" of this old discussion; if any consensus ever has been reached in any point. Anyway, here's my idea. A sticker should be a separate part file. You may want to stick it in a creative or humanized* way. A shortcut (...) (22 years ago, 20-Sep-02, to lugnet.cad)

I asked about the accuracy at the bottom of the bricks (URL) answered: (...) In the case of brick 700, I know that the old versions did NOT have any tubes at the bottom. Is that something that should be modeled? I don't have any of those olde 700s, (...) (22 years ago, 24-Sep-02, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Another problem: by standards, LDraw bricks are modeled with the walls being 4LDU thick. Most stud-hugging ribs on current versions of bricks would not protrude outside of a 4LDU wall. So the ribs won't show unless we make the walls thinner. (...) (22 years ago, 26-Sep-02, to lugnet.cad)
