  Re: parrot colors
 
(...) Jonathan, thanks for the bug aleart. I have corrected the problem and I will resubmit both files to Steve. Dennis (24 years ago, 16-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
 
  30473 (Baseplate 32 x 32 Canyon Plate Without Island)  [DAT]
 
Here's 30473, a variant of 6024, found in <set:4291>. I modified 6024 to remove the island, re-stud the road, and remove studs at raised corners. This is my first part, so if I've messed something up please tell me! I don't think I'm quite up to (...) (24 years ago, 16-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) downloading the file again, to make sure the your copy of the file isn't damaged. Steve (24 years ago, 16-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
 
  Re: parrot colors
 
I like it. But there is a small problem with this file and the unpatterned bird. There are 2 lines that have a space between one number and the next (search for 3- to find them). This causes ldlite to give a syntax error and it causes ledit to give (...) (24 years ago, 15-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
 
  Re: parrot colors
 
(...) 2546p01.dat would match existing conventions. IRL the yellow on the beak is a little less extensive than you have modelled, but it is still a very good representation. I don't see the "gap" in L3Lab. Chris (24 years ago, 15-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
 
  Re: parrot colors
 
Franklin, this "gap", is it on the actual parrot and I need to put it in or is it in my file and I need to remove it? I used MLcad and L3Lab to view my file and I do not see it in my file. What did you use to produce the images? Dennis. (...) (24 years ago, 15-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
 
  Re: parrot colors
 
Dennis, There appears to be a "gap" in the yellow part of the wing, as can be seen in this image: "(URL) (24 years ago, 15-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
 
  Re: parrot colors
 
(...) Minor nitpick. This specific DAT file should be named "2546p1.dat" (note the "p1" at the end). It's the _un_colorized version that should be named "2546.dat". *Excellent* work, by the way! Bravo! :-) Franklin (24 years ago, 15-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
 
  parrot colors  [DAT]
 
Hi all. I have completed the color patterns for the parrot. Since I do not have a parrot, I am working from photos scanned from a lego catalog. Let me know of changes that I need to make. If you have a photo to back it up, that would be a help. Even (...) (24 years ago, 15-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
 
  Re: unofficial new primitive -- "Rounded Corner"  [DAT]
 
(...) To be more specific: could this file be re-oriented, so that figures like (URL) can be constructed as: 1 1 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1-4disc.dat 1 2 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1-4disc.dat 1 4 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 1-4disc.dat 1 14 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 (...)

  Re: unofficial new primitive -- "Rounded Corner"
 
(...) Yup. (...) Go for it. :-) Also, if needed, please feel free to copy the image(s) for illustrating what this primitive is for. Franklin (24 years ago, 15-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)
 
  Re: unofficial new primitive -- "Rounded Corner"
 
I forgot to mention that I have another image (...) (24 years ago, 15-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)
 
  Re: unofficial new primitive -- "Rounded Corner"
 
Ooo, cool. That means each of the colored faces in your image is a 1-4disc.dat, right? That'll work very nicely. I'll forward this to the primitives committee. Do you mind if I use it in the skeleton leg file? Steve (...) (24 years ago, 15-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)
 
  Re: unofficial new primitive -- "Rounded Corner"
 
(...) UPDATE! It _is_ part of a sphere, I just realized, a sphere having a radius of "the square root of 2"! This primitive is one octant of that sphere with three faces "planed/smoothed off" so that the resulting object will fit inside a cube (...) (24 years ago, 15-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)
 
  Re: unofficial new primitive -- "Rounded Corner"
 
It is not part of a sphere. It can be thought of as a virtual cube which has had one corner sliced away in a curved fashion. Or to put it another way, it is the grey area in this image: "(URL) radii are "1", and its angles are 90 degrees (i.e., 1/4 (...) (24 years ago, 15-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)
 
  Re: unofficial new primitive -- "Rounded Corner"
 
[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)
 
  Re: unofficial new primitive -- "Rounded Corner"
 
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)
 
  new part - minifig skeleton arm (6265.dat)  [DAT]
 
Hi! I just finished up this version of the Minifig Skeleton Arm. I say "this version" 'cuz I had to inline some not-yet-official primitives into it (see "(URL) for more info), and I will want to update this part once [read "if"] the not-yet-official (...)

  unofficial new primitive -- "Rounded Corner"  [DAT]
 
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)
 
  Re: 2736 (Technic Axle Towball)  [DAT]
 
(...) Actually, if you want to submit the fix to the parts library, you need to send it to partsref@home.com. (...) Doh! Thanks for pointing this out. And posting a correction. (...) Nice. I'd disagree with: 0 You cannot 0 draw an edge between a (...) (24 years ago, 13-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
