| | Comments on some unofficial Train parts
|

Hello everyone, glad to see the traffic on Parts Tracker! As a railway fan I am double-glad to see some Train-specific parts developing. However, I have noticed some issues with part naming so I think it's better to solve them while the parts are (...) (15 years ago, 15-Apr-09, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) Don't worry Chris, we all know the precarious nature of unofficial stuff. But in the meantime it helps to have a quick reference of the shapes available! Philo (15 years ago, 7-Apr-09, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) Sorry, but this is a bad idea. These primitives are unofficial - which means that before release the names might change. In fact some of them will definitely change. I don't like to break other peoples webpages, but this might happen now. (...) (15 years ago, 6-Apr-09, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

LDraw author J.C. Tchang has created an updated Primitives Reference, based on (URL) but including unofficial primitives on Parts Tracker as of 2008-12-08. It is available here: (URL) you can see it is written in French, but I hope that thanks to (...) (16 years ago, 20-Mar-09, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) There is no way to get your shape using primitives, it would require non-linear transformations. So, as mentionned by Michael, the best way is to use Coverer. You can nonetheless get a similar (but quite different) shape using shearing as (...) (16 years ago, 15-Feb-09, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)

Is this what you had in mind? (...) Basicly changing any of the non zero coordinates will scale along the coresponding axis. You can also accomplish shearing by replacing any of the zero's with a different number. (16 years ago, 14-Feb-09, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)

(...) AFAIK there is no solution with primitives in this case. I would suggest use one of the tools from Philo ((URL) to fill the space between those 4-4edge.dat cu mikeheide (16 years ago, 15-Feb-09, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)

| | Stretching cylinders [DAT]
|

Well, it's my second thread today, but how would you go to "stretch" a cylinder, like a cone, but only in Y-axis, not X-axis? I've again attached a dat file to show what I mean. Basically I'd need a cylinder that'd fit those two 4-4edge.dat:s, any (...) (16 years ago, 14-Feb-09, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)

(...) Agh... guess it's going to take some time before I'll master those cyls.dat files. Well, this seems to save me a primitive. (16 years ago, 14-Feb-09, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)
