(...) I agree. So both LDraw and Peeron should change the name. I see that the name has been changed allready on the partstracker of both part 50746 and 54200. What is the official LEGO name for the part or doesn't LEGO name it's parts anyway? Do (...) (16 years ago, 1-Oct-08, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

Note that all have a small vertical section (or step) at the front which causes the angle to deviate (...) (16 years ago, 30-Sep-08, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

Hi all, Just whipped up this mockup for 61409 and thought I'd share it. I don't currently have the part handy and I wasn't sure if the little bump in the middle should be explicitly modelled but it serves as a pretty useful mockup for most models. (...)

(...) Unfortunately, I don't think that T-junctions can be made visible in MLCad, since I don't think it has a wireframe mode. However, if you use LDraw Design Pad with LDView in polling mode, you can set LDView to wireframe, and the T-junctions (...) (16 years ago, 27-Aug-08, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, FTX)

(...) It's the same thing. Actually, it's worse -- rect.dat has edge-lines. So it can't be used in place of a quad. Generally, avoiding t-junctions is harder when working with primitives - you have to know where the outside vertices are on the (...) (16 years ago, 26-Aug-08, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
