It has been a while, but I have created a new part. Almost done, but I would like an opinion on whether the detail of the pattern would be sufficient. I have posted an image on Brickshelf: (URL) DAT file is attached to this message. Jaco 0 Roadsign (...) (22 years ago, 3-Dec-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) Yes, that's the thing that caused errors, so I had to correct them. The other adjustments I made was, was to remove some multiple spaces. I guess they were put there to create an even table with straght columns (alternatively just the way (...) (22 years ago, 2-Dec-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

I've finished the development of this part. It was a bit difficult, especially to measure the curved surfaces and then the Excel acrobatics to generate their Ldraw counterpart. I think the result did worth the effort. I submit the part to part (...) (22 years ago, 29-Nov-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) Shouldn't it be a forward slash (s/6898s01.dat)? Parts use forward slash in the actual part code (which is good, because it makes viewers in other operating systems slightly easier to make). --Travis (22 years ago, 29-Nov-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, FTX)

(...) You can do it in LDAO as well, although there's no direct "round my decimals to 3 places" command. First, open your file in the editor. Second, go to Options | Decimals, and enter 3. Then put a line "0 SCALE 1" at the beginning of the block of (...) (22 years ago, 27-Nov-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) Great work. The subpart naming standard(s)n are documented at (URL) So, I'd rather your subpart were named s6898s01.dat. Submitting a new part to the Parts Tracker is easy.

Thanks everyone for the advice. After posting last night I went ahead and changed the hat puff to a 1/8 segment and called it s/6898s18.dat. Any conditional lines falling along the x, z, x+z (diagonal), or x-z axes were moved into the main file to (...) (22 years ago, 26-Nov-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, FTX)

(...) I think the filesize:quality ratio is good. I notice that almost everything is coded to 4 decimal places. Except when (and maybe not even then) a surface joins to a circular primitive, 3 DPs should be sufficient in parts (0.0001 LDu < 0.00002 (...) (22 years ago, 25-Nov-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, FTX)
