Finally, my fair (if not terrible) first attempt at part authoring is ready for submission (as soon as parts@ldraw.org lets me). What a learning experience! It took 12 version saves to get "close". And I'm sure there's more to learn after the (...) (22 years ago, 19-Sep-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) Are there many parts that will need this surface? It doesn't seem like it would be that common... If it would help you to have a subfile, then create a subpart file rather than a primitive.

Since the dimensions matter with wedges -- a 3x4 wedge is going to be a different shape from a 4x3 wedge -- the order of dimensions in wedge names should be fixed by axis, not given in "smaller x larger" order.

I noticed some inconsistancy in the naming of some of the wedge parts. Some are named with the smaller number first, and others are named with the numbers placed to match the numbers used on bricks based on the X and Z axes. For example, 41765 is (...)

Peeron does not have this in inventory. It's found as a leg or arm armour on all the good knights in Knights Kingdom. How do I ask Peeron to include this part in their inventory? This is going to be a fun part to author! (22 years ago, 10-Sep-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

What approach should I take to create the "Curved Slope End". Should I create a curved and slope line and surface primitive? The basis for this part file (version 2) is 41855 2 x 2 x 2/3 Slope Rounded. In the uploaded 47457v2.dat file, you'll see (...) (22 years ago, 10-Sep-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
