As I'm almost in a position to upload these 3 road plates to the parts tracker I
have a few questions
1) what are the correct part numbers? 44336p01/44342p01/44341p01 or some other
identifier to indicate a patterned part? (There is another variant of the
straight road - http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemPic.asp?P=44336pb02 I'll
model this one as well when I've opened the set! I'm assuming that will be
44336p02)
2) what is the correct Category? Baseplate?
3) having replaced all my custom primitives with quads and lines, should I
remove all the lines between co-planar quads? (These exist only to make the
wireframe views work as opposed to indicating an actual edge between two
quads.)
4) Having had chance to study a friends cross-roads plate in detail I shall
model this one as well. It has 4 fold rotational symmetry. Should I model this
as one sub-part and rotate it 4 times in the model or "in-line" the pattern 4
times?
thanks in advance
