 | | Part x224: Windscreen 8 x 6 x 2 Curved
|
|
Peeron and Bricklink have this part under x224 but with no CAD image. But in the unofficial files on LDRAW.org, this part number refers to a piece of Technic rubber belt. Is anyone working on a DAT for this part? How do you resolve the conflict with (...) (20 years ago, 2-Apr-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) Here's the same file with the torus primitive included. The left over quads you're seeing are part of the subfile, 3626bs01.dat. I didn't do anything about that, since this is just an example. 0 FILE 3626bp01.dat 0 Minifig Head - Stud Hollow 0 (...) (21 years ago, 2-Apr-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) I can't comment, because I don't have that torus file (t04o6250). However, the stuff left makes it look like the posted dat isn't correct even with the file. (Some of the geometry that I would have expected to be replaced by the torus is still (...) (21 years ago, 1-Apr-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

Is there any interest in improving the minifig heads by using torus primitives? For some of the patterned heads, where there is printing on the curved section, it would be somewhat difficult, but most of them could be fixed pretty easily. Andy 0 (...)

(...) "Gonta" states clearly under the parts that they are to use freely. I have personally received requests for the wheels and tyres from others and have forwarded them on. These parts and others have been available from his site far quite some (...) (21 years ago, 30-Mar-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

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 (...)
