(...) I try to minimise file size whenever possible myself and have nothing against T juctions. While the gaps can be annoying I feel that they are a fault of the rendering program rather than the parts. (18 years ago, 4-Mar-07, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, FTX)

(...) T-junctions are a quality issue in part files. I don't think they should be strictly forbidden (that is, having T-junctions is not a reason to hold a part file from official release). Generally, I wouldn't even say that a part with T-junctions (...) (18 years ago, 5-Mar-07, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, FTX)

Hi, Perhaps it is just me, but I am often confused when trying to find matching parts. For example, there is a wheel center 50944 or 42610, which is named 11 x 6 mm. In fact it is 11.2 x 6.4 mm which also more fits to LEGO dimensions. That is not (...) (18 years ago, 4-Mar-07, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
