    Baseplates with pattern —Marek Idec
   Dear All, Next my question to you reffers to part I've already started. It is baseplate from the set 5978. It is similar to part 6092px1 I found in peeron.com ((URL) Form is the same, but color and pattern are different. It is rather complicated and (...)

        Re: Baseplates with pattern —Steve Bliss
     (...) First, make a plain version of the part, and call it 6092.dat. For LDraw, we always include a plain version of parts, even if LEGO never released the part without a pattern. (...) Once you've got a plain 6092.dat, copy the file to 6092p01.dat. (...) (22 years ago, 17-Apr-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
    
         Re: Baseplates with pattern —Orion Pobursky
     That would work but... what if you want to render the base with the Lego logo on the studs? L3P and LDView use the stud primitve to determine Lego logo placement. I could live with no Lego logo on some studs but for those who insist on perfection (...) (22 years ago, 18-Apr-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
    
         Re: Baseplates with pattern —Steve Bliss
     (...) I suppose that would be a problem. It would be more of a problem, if stud-logos were part of LDraw. It would also be more of a problem, if this were a smaller part. By the time people get to using 32x32 baseplates, they aren't usually looking (...) (22 years ago, 18-Apr-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
    
         Re: Baseplates with pattern —Travis Cobbs
     (...) Well, I know this was a really old thread, but I didn't catch it the first time around. As it turns out, I'd be happy to prove you wrong, at least for LDView :-). LDView doesn't have a concept of a logo color at all. The logo texture it uses (...) (22 years ago, 27-May-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
    
         Re: Baseplates with pattern —Steve Bliss
     (...) Well, that's a bit of good news. I think. :) At least, it removes one issue from the table. Steve (22 years ago, 29-May-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
   
        Re: Baseplates with pattern —Bernd Broich
   (...) Hi all, I know this problem and I think the solutions could be: 1) You take the color which covers the most of the stud. 2) We need to make a half (resp. quarter) stud that could be colored in different colors. Let me know, what you think (...) (22 years ago, 17-Apr-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
   
        Re: Baseplates with pattern —Steve Bliss
   (...) Unless the color makes up 95%+ of the stud, I don't think this would be a good approach. (...) I don't think LEGO's pattern will cooperate with us to make neat sections of studs. So I don't think this approach would really work. Also, thinking (...) (22 years ago, 17-Apr-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
   
        Re: Baseplates with pattern —Bernd Broich
    (...) So, what do you think we should do? Several subparts for every new pattern? CU Bernd (22 years ago, 17-Apr-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
   
        Re: Baseplates with pattern —Steve Bliss
   (...) Not unless the subparts would be used multiple times within the part file. Just put the code for the painted studs in the part file. Steve (22 years ago, 18-Apr-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
