 | | 6002 mpd version, did I do this right? [DAT]

Here is my first attempt at an .MPD file, it is the 6002 piece. I'm not sure if I did it right however becuase when I go to view it in LDRAW it only shows half the piece. Please let me know if this piece was done corectly or not. 0 FILE 6002.mpd 0 (...) (24 years ago, 6-May-01, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

Since I noticed this uses bits of the only piece I ever made, I felt compelled to check it out. Looks nice. One thing though. I used the hires primitives in the p\48 subdirectory for 30056.dat. These don't quite match up with the regular primitives. (...) (24 years ago, 7-May-01, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) You might want to consider submitting those new hi-res primitives for inclusion in the next parts update, they could probably be used in other files as well. (24 years ago, 9-May-01, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) Sure, but if you're going to submit the hi-res version of 6002.dat then why don't you just submit the new primitives along with it in an MPD file? I think that's reasonable. By the way, do you happen to know if the hi-res sphere primitive has (...) (24 years ago, 9-May-01, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

Don and Mark, I recently aquired partn number 6909 which is a 4 x 4 x 6 (?) Round Panel with Spherous Top.
