(...) Hey, thanks testing it out. You're right about the conditionals zig-zagging a bit. I still have the feeling that if the surface were pinned down to the concave green line those zig-zags would go away. But I couldn't decide whether to divvy it (...)

(...) The following are the appropriate conditionals for Don's surface. Playing with it you can have angles where the conditionals seem to go too far, but it's certainly much better than the current ones. (Note that the last 4 conditionals are only (...)

(...) Nice, I like the idea of the quadric primitive, but we want to add some curvature to the LDRAW version, right? I fiddled a bit with the part a few days ago, starting with the two triangles outlined by your primitive. I didn't exactly finish, (...) (19 years ago, 25-Apr-05, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) Looks good. Should we create a new primitive with the next dimensions:? 2 24 0 0 1 0 1 1 2 24 1 0 -1 0 1 -1 2 24 0 0 1 1 0 -1 2 24 0 1 1 0 1 -1 and a POV-quadric version in the coming L3PPARTS.

(...) I believe that is because s/41770s01.dat was certified and released in previous parts update (in this case 2004-04), and the parts tracker only displays dependencies that are currently on the tracker. This is not a problem, if the subpart has (...) (19 years ago, 25-Apr-05, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

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 (...) (19 years ago, 25-Apr-05, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) I have made a 43720.inc for the test of the coming L3PPARTS. The mathematical description of the surface is: 80x + 40y + yz = 0 and I have used the POV primitive quadric: quadric { <0,0,0>, <0,0,1>, <80,40,0>, 0 clipped_by { box { <-20,0,-40>, (...)

(...) I think the key difference is the twisted nature of this surface. I think the twist makes it impossible to partition the surface into polygons without having a mix of convex and concave seams. I'd like to be proven wrong. I don't have one of (...) (19 years ago, 19-Apr-05, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, FTX)

(...) Oh, I don't know about that 1 pixel business. The problem with the surface as it's currently written, is that it flip-flops between convex and concave every at every triangle. But if you ignore the triangles and spin the surface around a bit, (...) (19 years ago, 19-Apr-05, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, FTX)

Having a mathematical description of the surface would be good, because then we could potentially create a primitive for the surface, and (...) (19 years ago, 19-Apr-05, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, FTX)
