(...) Yes, this is the "rule" we try to apply - if the detail is functional, then it should be included, if decorative or an artifact of the moulding process then it may be ignored. So in your two examples, I would expect to see the small lugs on (...) (22 years ago, 21-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)
