  "Tore's" boxes, special file naming instructions
 
This is regarding the "officialization" of Tore's boxes (I'll call them ttore boxes, for short), and the making of new boxes have no corresponding Lego part. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestion on how I should name the files of new boxes I (...) (23 years ago, 10-Sep-01, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
 
  Re: "Tore's" boxes, special file naming instructions
 
Not a full suggestion, but just a thought. I've thought about calling them "minimized" parts, and maybe the extention .min intead of .box. There is a problem though. I have two different areas in which I could use different levels of simplification: (...) (23 years ago, 11-Sep-01, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

Tore: (...) Except that the extensions "box" and "min" don't seem to correspond to the two concepts, it might be a good idea to identify the simplification level based in the file name extension.

  Re: "Tore's" boxes, special file naming instructions
 
(...) I'm still thinking about this. Awhile ago, there was discussion of having a "0 DETAIL" meta-statement, to identify which lines in a DAT were critical for rendering, and which lines filled in the details. This approach could be used to reduce (...) (23 years ago, 13-Sep-01, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
 
  Re: "Tore's" boxes, special file naming instructions
 
(...) After a year or so of thinking - well I have thought of other things, too :) - I have come to a decition that suits me and my needs. I work with large .DAT models (Datsville) and I mainly use my own utilities towards L3Lab and L3P. I suppose (...) (22 years ago, 30-May-02, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.cad.ray)
