 | | Part 41770 certified but missing sub-file??
|
|
I recently downloaded the latest batch of parts from the LDraw Parts Tracker, and found three parts that were missing sub-files. Part 41769.dat & 41770.dat (Wing 2 x 4 Left/Right) both require sub-part s/41770s01.dat, but the sub-file isnt listed on (...) (20 years ago, 25-Apr-05, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

Well, I thought about this, and what I would try is changing the polygons thus: If the top points are A1-5 and the bottom points are B1-5, keep the A2-B1, A3-B2 as currently, but instead of A2-B2 etc, use A3-B1, A4-B2, etc. I think that would (...)
