Re: Wrong parts listed on Peeron for Model #6390-1 Main Street?

Ok, it turns out I wasn't imagining things. 3855.DAT, Glass window 1 x 4 x 3
is either modelled incorrectly or the part being used for the glass pains in
the 6390 Main Street kit is listed incorrectly at peeron.com.

If it's the same part being used in the Main Street kit, it is missing the
two side bumps used to attach it to the frame, and the bulge at the bottom.
Similar to what has been done for 3762.DAT.

The reason I was actually seeing bumps on my rendering (and not in mlcad)
was because of lgeo. It was replacing the part with something that looked a
little more correct but still seems somewhat off.

Does this sound right? Also, since I don't have the part, and a view from a
non-front angle, I can't tell if it is actually a bulge or a dip at the
bottom center of the piece.

Second question to throw out to go along with this. Since in the Main Street
model 3 of these windows actaully have a 'blinds' sticker that is applied to
the back, would it be best to model the sticker separately or create a new
part and call it a pattern?

I guess the bump on the glass just wasn't showing up in my mlcad views. • Once
rendered, however, they were there.

With regards to the sticker on the windows, do you happen to have a count • of
the exact # of lines (or even better, a pointer to a scan of the sticker
itself or on of your glass panes w/ the sticker applied? There are some
pictures in the manual, but I'd be a lot more comfortable replicating the
sticker if I saw a real rendition of one.

Thanks again for your help,
Karl

Try this link to see a (poor) scan of the blinds sticker on the glass.

The sticker was applied to the side opposite the hole..... which, looking
again at it, is the backside of the scan. Hmmmmmmm. If this causes any
problems just let me know. I'll be happy to rescan.
