Next my question to you reffers to part I've already started. It is

and pattern are different.

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.

How to create part with pattern if borders between colors go across studs?
In reality there is a lot of this kind of parts. Without pattern sometimes
they are very simple like "Baseplate 16x16" 3867.dat. What about baseplate
from the set 6260 (Shipwreck Island) with irregular island outline? It is
Baseplate 16x16, but pattern ...
Creating very specific studs, which can be used only in one part and maybe
only in one specific place - is it right solution? Could be any influence of
this solution on renderings of this parts?

Do you have any ideas? I don't belive that you gave up.

Once you've got a plain 6092.dat, copy the file to 6092p01.dat.  Then
inline all the stud.dat references that should be partly patterned.  If
a whole stud is colored, then just change the color of the stud.dat
reference to the appropriate color.

Once you've got a stud.dat inlined, you can replace parts of it with
colored polygons to make the pattern.

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)
