  Help needed with baseplate 30271 DAT file  [DAT]
 
Hi, I think I've just about completed the top surface of the DAT file for the 30271 baseplate (the one that comes in the castle set 6091/6098 and the amazon set 5986) but as I'm working only from the pictures on Peeron and Lugnet I need someone to (...)

(...) deleted (...) Actualy I checked them 2 days later and it still doesn't say that a new version of the part was submitted. Maybe it's because they are fixed versions of official parts? (22 years ago, 11-May-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)
 
  New conditional lines in LDView 1.9.4
 
If you use the just-released LDView 1.9.4 during part authoring, you might want to pay attention to the following two new command line options: -ShowAllType5 -ShowType5ControlPoints Look in the the new command line section of LDView's help.html file (...)

  Updated version of 4474  [DAT]
 
Hi all, I'm making the Windscreen with the Ice Planet pattern, and I found an error by the original part. The length of the upper plane was to small, so I corrected this.

  Re: Low res 1-8 sphere primitve
 
(...) I'm an idiot, but I think I understand now. The larger *sphe.dat files must simply include of a bunch of 1-8sphe.dat instances as type 1 lines. So yes, you only need the type 5 edge lines in the 1-8sphe.dat file if it's made right. Don (22 years ago, 8-May-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)
 
  Re: why re-submit x-4disc files?...
 
(...) Either: a) You rechecked the details pages too soon, before the PT had a chance to clear the votes, or b) You rechecked too late, after Carsten and Franklin had re-reviewed the files. Steve (22 years ago, 8-May-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)

(...) He put in the type 5 lines at the joins between the eighth spheres in the n-8sphe files (where n > 1). So he put a set in the one join of the 2-8sphe.dat, 4 sets in the 4-8sphe.dat, and 12 sets in the 8-8sphe.dat. So instead of just being type (...)

  Re: Low res 1-8 sphere primitve

I thought the idea was that ALL these primitives would have type 5 lines at the edges, but they would be extended in the tangent plane and thus only do half the job, (...)

  Re: high-res sphere primitive with type 5 lines
 
(...) Glad you like it. What's really fun is viewing a full sphere with the type 5 lines enabled, and then spinning it slowly.

  Re: high-res sphere primitive with type 5 lines
 
(...) The edgepoints are the same in both flavors of the files. So long as you are just adjoining your polygons to the primitive, you should be fine. Steve (22 years ago, 7-May-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)
 
  Re: New Part: 3596P90.dat - Flag on Flagpole with Classic Space Logo Pattern

  Low res 1-8 sphere primitve  [DAT]
 
Travis, here is a low res version of your sphere primitive. I moved the type 5 lines from the edge into the other sphere primitives, as to prevent them from showing up when it placed against a torus. I could move the edge lines back into the file if (...) (22 years ago, 7-May-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)
 
  Re: high-res sphere primitive with type 5 lines
 
(...) Yes. The standard sphere primitive has type 5 lines on all three edges. They are all necessary in order to work right (with the axis-aligned edge control points). My updated type 5 lines project along a different axis for each edge, of course. (...) (22 years ago, 7-May-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)
