Have you ever seen a torso with the neck-mark? ;)
Erk.  That's *without* the neck-mark. Argh.

:-,  Yah, on some extremely well-used torso pieces.  ;-)

I was just thinking along the lines that, very few "core" LDraw parts have
patterns -- the typical action is to make an unmarked part first, then refer
to that unmarked part in a different patterned-part file.  Sure, tbe neck
pattern is different in that it's *always* there, but then there's always
the chance that some day it won't be...

Good points.  So the neck-marked torso would be the first among many
patterned torso parts.  Sort of like the plain minifig head vs. the
smiley-face minifig head.

(checking Partsref)  Drat!  973p01 is already taken!  That would have been
the perfect choice for "minifig torso with neck mark". ;)

You realize that to make this change (remove the neck mark from 973.dat,
and add it where appropriate) requires changing *all* the patterned torsos?
37 currently released, another 10 in 2000-02.  There is an advantage to
this approach: we can use the correct colors for the neck-marks.  No more
color-24 warnings from l3p/l3lab.  :)

(...) How about 973p00 ? (...) But it'd really be a one-line change, with an easily recognizable failure condition (i.e. the neck mark doesn't show up), so not many worries there. Cheers, - jsproat (24 years ago, 21-Aug-00, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
