I have made a few of my own parts that were not available. Start with the file that is close to what you want. open it in ldraw and modify it. save it as a new part in your models directory. Looks like you can modify the existing ladder and get (...) (21 years ago, 29-Mar-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) Well the only problem that I have with that is that I don't think "beam" describes the short ones (1x2, 1x3) as well as "liftarm", (which I agree also isn't the perfect name). They are all basically the same shape, which is what I think led to (...) (21 years ago, 28-Mar-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, lugnet.db.brictionary)

(...) Yes, except that there is still nomeclature confusion elsewhere, some systems use Technic Bricks for the bricks with holes and some systems us Technic Beams, I believe. So I think the rounded designation is helpful. (...) except that the 1x2 (...) (21 years ago, 28-Mar-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, lugnet.db.brictionary)

(...) I'm not sure that rounded is needed. Brick vs. Beam is very clear. Besides for bricks the count is the number of studs (always even except for 1). For Beams it is the number of holes (typically an odd number, except in the case of 1x2.) Kevin (...) (21 years ago, 28-Mar-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, lugnet.db.brictionary)

Personally, I think the naming should be like this: For parts with axle holes, use the Liftarm designation e.g. Technic Liftarm 1 x 11.5 Double Bent for part 32009 and Technic Liftarm 1 x 3 Thin with Click Rotation Hinge Half Socket for part 41679 (...)

(...) Good question. In my view, all efforts to contact the author should be taken (and it sounds like you've been doing just that) but I am not sure that "snatching" a part, even one that's very rough and strongly desired and really only good for a (...)

hi folks, there are pics. at brickshelf (URL) some parts which have never been submitted to the PT. this site even contains the .dat file: (URL) some former investigation I ended up at the authors website: (URL) tried to contact "Gonta" through a (...)

(...) (URL) could make a quick mock-up by shortening the current LDraw parts. But that wouldn't snap directly onto studs like the short version does. To make the part correctly requires changing the dimensions of the rails and rungs. A 1x2 stud (...) (21 years ago, 27-Mar-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

Not sure if this has been brought up before, but the naming of the technic liftarms leaves something to be desired. It seems mostly the thin ones have just the dimensions, thick ones have "straight" appended. Except for the 4L liftarms. Bricklink (...)
