that's the point. I don't own that baseplate, but having a look at:
http://library.brickshelf.com/scans/6000/6190/6190-19.html
you 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:
http://library.brickshelf.com/scans/6000/6190/6190-01.html
it seams that the big crater wall is colored with a darker blue than the rest and I bet the hill
isn't kept in an uniform light-blue, but has shades of blue. now which triangle belongs to which
shade of color? just to split the hill from the rest makes non sense 'cos later you would have to split it
up again. your demand is reasonable, but it would require a lot of work and time and last but
not least I hesitate doing it 'cos I don't own the original part. my part-policy is to not model
parts I can't measure, touch, having a close look (guys I'm driven to perfection ;-)
a solution could be to be less accurate (can we really live with that?) and keep the hill in a
uniform color and put just the big crater ground into a separate subpart. at this point we would
have:
the main part (****.dat) containing the baseplate and studs.
and
subpart a (s\****a.dat) containing the hill (level 0 - 14) + small crater, without the big crater
ground
subpart b (s\****b.dat) containing the big crater ground
the 6190 Shark's Crystal Cave version would require a totally new main part 'cos the top surface has to be remodeled according to
the color and a substitute for subpart b.
now, do I have to separate the big crater wall from the hill? could you or somebody else
upload a picture of the original part. taken from above, with a long lense: 120 mm (hires please
- file size doesn't matter) and send me the link?
last question: where shall I put the big crater edges? both in subpart a?
