 | | Minifig heads with torus primitives
|
|
There's been some discussion in the past about updating the 3626 parts to use the torus primitives. Well, here they are (at least for some of the patterns), now these files just need reviews on the parts tracker. (2 URLs) I haven't uploaded all of (...)

| | Re: Parts with lengths
|

Hi Jindrich, I actually think this belongs in cad.dev, because this is a software issue, more than a part issue. LSynth for example is a flexible part synthesizer. The parts are made up of a whole bunch of part cross sections. Software has to count (...) (22 years ago, 2-Sep-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

Hi, were there some discussions about incorporating part lengths into the part properties? I mean hoses, strings, cables, tubes etc. The length is an important property when it comes to making an inventory, but I think it's important also for (...) (22 years ago, 2-Sep-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

Hi all, Just wondering re this part: Is anyone working on it? If not I'll give it a go, but it will only be a basic mock-up Does anyone know what the part number is?

| | Parts vs subparts for compound parts

Several parts consist of several bits, like metal connectors for electric parts and glass for windows and doors and compound housing (e.g. top and bottom housing). How should all the various bits be named and where should they be stored? (In (...) (22 years ago, 31-Aug-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

I just noticed that part 30147 does something that I haven't seen done in any other part. It uses the stud primitive in a way that is inside out. This causes a problem in LDView: (URL) Notice the Lego logos are mirrored in the headlight openings, (...) (22 years ago, 28-Aug-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, FTX)
