(...) Personaly I would use 4-4edge and 4-4disc primitives on the bottom of the craters to save space. With a file this big you want to save as much space as possible. (22 years ago, 2-Oct-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) According to this post: (URL) number for this baseplate is 3947. I have no idea whence came that number (or any of the other numbers in the above post). HTH, TWS Garrison (22 years ago, 2-Oct-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, lugnet.db.brictionary)

(...) That won't really work. The edge and disc primitives only have 16 sides, which isn't really enough for circles that big. Plus, he'd have to redo the surrounding mesh to meet up with a 16-sided circle. It looks great, Willy. The only thing I (...) (22 years ago, 2-Oct-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) You could include an empty subpart file for the type 5 lines, just in case someone wants to make them later. Also, perhaps the hilly area itself should be made into a subpart. That might make it easier to add the crater studs and the painted (...) (22 years ago, 2-Oct-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) <snip> obviously! Wow. Thanks Willy. Is this the largest single part ever done? When I sort my parts directory by size it is, and the runner up seems to be 3754P01 (another space part...) I was surprised to see the minifig crossbow in 5th (...) (22 years ago, 2-Oct-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

I just started part-authoring in spring and I'm still not familiar with all the specifications. (...) well, the hill is made of (...) (22 years ago, 4-Oct-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) hmm ... the 6190 Shark's Crystal Cave version uses dithers colors which have to go into a subfile anyway. so we would have a sub-subfile. please consider also that most of the paint covers the flat area which has to be remodelled. it doesn't (...)

(...) I'm not sure what you mean about the sub-subfile, but I suppose it doesn't really matter. I dug out the shark baseplate and it turns out even the hill is painted. Is that what you're talking about with the sub-subfile? Anyhow, I was just (...) (22 years ago, 4-Oct-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

In fact, the lack of smooth shading was my first (...) (22 years ago, 4-Oct-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

hi don, (...) that's the point. I don't own that baseplate, but having a look at: (URL) can spot a colored area on the big crater ground. this means that I have to split the hill in at least 2 subpart. but there is more. looking at: (URL) seams that (...)

(...) There's a fairly clear picture in Ralf Herbers's baseplate reference (URL) that since this version has studs inside the craters, it would technically be a part variation with pattern, not just a patterned version of the part. . . -- TWS (...) (22 years ago, 5-Oct-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
