 | | Dish 2 x 2 (4740.dat)
|

I was looking for the small 2 x 2 space radar dish, but did not find it in the Space categorie. Why has the description changed for this part to this: 0 Dish 2 x 2 0 Name: 4740.dat It was Space Radar Dish 2 x 2, which is IMHO better? Jaco (21 years ago, 29-Jan-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) It is not a space-specific part, it's used in town a lot, too. The name 'Dish 2 x 2' is better, because it says exactly what it is: a 2 x 2 dish, no more, no less. The keywords contain a reference to space and radar, so searching with keywords (...) (21 years ago, 29-Jan-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) OK, I have to agree with Niels now, but then I plead for all dishes that are now called Space Radar Dish to be renamed to Dish and put in the keyword "space" (for you spacers out there :-) Jaco (21 years ago, 30-Jan-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) Actually, I thought that all the radar dishes were supposed to be renamed to "Round Dish. . ." (as indeed several on the Parts Tracker are); on the other hand, a name fix for 4740 has not been submitted to the Tracker, and the radar dishes (...)

(...) After some offline discussion with Steve Bliss we have decided that the dish parts will all be named "Dish ...". I'll be fixing the names of the parts on the PT and searching out any that remain to be fixed on the official library. Chris (21 years ago, 2-Feb-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) 1. Will they still be considered part of the Round category? (I.e., will they then need a "0 CATEGORY Round" meta-statement?) 2. Won't they need "Space", "radar", and "round" added to their lists of KEYWORDS? Thnx, Franklin (21 years ago, 3-Feb-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

I think more parts need to be renamed. Recently I was looking for the large excavator arm, did not find it among the parts starting with an E (like the small 3314 Excavator Arm 2 x 6 x 2), did not find it on the PT searching for 'Excavator', so I (...)

(...) I think so, yes. Because many people look them up with "Space" in their mind. That is why I started this discussion in the first place. Jaco (21 years ago, 3-Feb-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) I agree that some parts still need renaming. Those you mention are good candidates for an overhaul. We do rely on them getting reviewed quickly on the Parts Tracker. When a part is submitted to the PT for a name change it should not be (...) (21 years ago, 3-Feb-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) In general, a wedge is a 'clipped' brick and a wing is a 'clipped' plate. I don't see any exception to this rule in the official library but if an exception exists on the PT then those part should be commented upon. -Orion (21 years ago, 3-Feb-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) How about these two: 30033 Plate 2 x 2 with Rod Frame Octagonal (URL) 30094 Bar 4 x 4 with 4 Studs (No entry at LUGNet) I suggest changing the last to: 30094 Plate 2 x 2 with Rod Frame Rectangular Christian (21 years ago, 4-Feb-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, FTX)

(...) This one should be Wing 3 x 4 (...) These ones are plates with one corner clipped, I think the 'Without Corner' label is better than Wing. I'd like to add these ones to the list: 2621 2625 I had renamed 2625 while it was on the PT for BFC (...) (21 years ago, 4-Feb-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) If LEGO were to produce a rectangular plate, say a 4x8, with a missing corner, what would be a good way to describe it? The part could easily have a mirror-image part, so it wouldn't be enough to say "Plate 4 x 8 without corner," since that (...) (21 years ago, 4-Feb-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) Another point to consider in differentiating between a wedge and a wing. IMHO a wing is not symmetrical and has a matching counterpart (left & right) and would be inherently thin. I cant imagine building a plane model with a wing as thick as a (...) (21 years ago, 4-Feb-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) By this metric, (URL) not a wing. That's reasonable. If 2413 were a wing, then so would (URL) they are the same shape, essentially. (...) I agree. There are, however, times when that is not possible---for example, (URL) undoubtedly similar (...) (21 years ago, 6-Feb-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) Perhaps the above mentioned (and other similar) parts would best be called "wedge plates". Wedge due to the shape and plate due to the thickness. There is such a variety of shapes and shapes there will always be exceptions to whatever (...) (21 years ago, 17-Feb-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
