So, how many versions should we include? As it is now, there is at least one
too little.
My suggestion is:
* Solid/hollow studs: Ignore, always use hollow studs
* Solid/slotted bottom pins: Ignore, always use slotted bottom pins
* Thin/thick walls: Use thick walls only for the 6-wide windows.
* Long/short ledge: Too important to neglect. Make two different versions.
(a) Short ledge, no top holes (wide glass in 646a.dat)
(b) Long ledge, with top holes (narrow glass in 646b.dat)
And for the 3 exceptions mentioned above
(c) Short ledge, no top holes, without glass

I agree with this.

39c01.dat be moved to 39a.dat

No, it would be 39ac01.dat

39.dat be moved to 39c.dat

OK.

29c01.dat be moved to 29a.dat

Again, 29ac01.dat

29.dat be moved to 29c.dat

OK.

27c01.dat be moved to 27a.dat

27ac01.dat

27.dat be moved to 27c.dat

OK.

31.dat be moved to 31a.dat

31ac01.dat

7026.dat, 453, 645, 646 be moved to *a.dat

604.dat, leave as is (ignore hole/no hole)

(b) versions with long ledge are made to all with (a) versions

As long as they're all real parts, I'm fine with it -- I don't have any
classic windows (unless you count some more-recent 2x2's), so I don't
have a lot of part-knowledge in this area.

While moving, we make BFC certified versions with 3d-glasses in color 47.

Yes and yes. :)

Please respond now to these suggestions or remain silent. I will not have
the discussion on this Tracker - that will take *far* too long time.

Basically, if a window's got glass, it should be in a *c01 file.  Unless
you've got evidence that the part was molded all in one go, instead of
being glued/welded togther later.

If you look closely at Classic Windows, you'll find that there are diffeences in many details. See (URL) for the details I have found. See suggested 27a.dat, 27b.dat, and 27c.dat (recently posted). The oldest windows I have, have solid studs and (...) (22 years ago, 9-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
