Never mind, it was REMmed out. uh hum... well, I try to remember to remove that line, but once in awhile I forget.. you caught me! take a look at my todo page for some info on this one. http://www.geocities.com/pneaster/lego_todo.htm > > > > 0 > > 1 16 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 s/30200s01.dat > > 1 16 0 0 0 -1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 s/30200s01.dat > > 0 > > 0 Name: 30200s01.dat > > 0 > > 1 16 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 s/30200s02.dat > > 0 > > Why three files for one part? > > I see very little reason for not inlining 30200s01 into 30200 (else then saving 21 kb file size), and I see no reason at > all for not just pasting 30200s02 into 30200s01 first. Are these sub-parts going to be re-used in another part, or could > they be differently coloured from the rest of the part? ah...no, not different colors, and doubt they will be re-used. ok. after inlining, the part grows from 24kb to to 42kb. Is that acceptable? I was under the impression that we were to try to keep the size of files to to a minium. Mostly for program cacheing. If this is not so, then I will need to inline the 30209 file as well, also the unposted 30190 wheel as well. > > Oh, I almost forgot the most important: Very nice work, Paul! > > /Tore OH! thanks! :-) Oh, by the way... did anybody notice the part origin on this part? I tried to keep it the same as the mockup. I this needs to be changed, let me know. Also if Anyone else (including Tore ;-) )believes this part needs to inlined, let me know as well. Paul
