[snipped Franklin's post] Some comments/questions: What is the definition of this part? Is it a section of a sphere? What are the angles and radii of the curved edges? Could you reverse the shape, so it is convex? This would make it easier to fit (...) (24 years ago, 15-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)

OK, I've finished this primitive, but before I re-submit it, I need to know a couple of things... Just what do I call the DAT file? On my PC's hard drive, I'm calling it "RND-CRNR.DAT". Is that food enough? Also, what extra steps (if any) do I need (...) (24 years ago, 15-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives, lugnet.cad.dev)

Hi, While encoding the Arm piece for the Minifig Skeleton, I encountered something for which I needed a primitive (and I couldn't find anything like it among the existing primitives). At the "wrist" of the Skeleton Arm, there are four (...) (24 years ago, 14-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)

I'm not sure if this is the proper procedure, but I noticed a problem in part 2736 (Technic Axle Towball) which appears to have been caused by the part being authored without rotating the viewpoint away from the standard one. The cylinder which was (...) (24 years ago, 13-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) Steve, I have shortened the shoulder-pegs as you suggested. Then, just for fun, I put a transparent skull on top a transparent torso and ran it through POV. The neck peg sticks up into the skull, ruining the effect. :) Dennis. (24 years ago, 12-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

Just glancing at it (in L3Lab (the spine looks particularly cool in transparent/non-dithered mode)), the only thing that leaps out is the cylinders that make the base of the shoulder-pegs should be shorter -- they intrude into the balls on the (...)
