   I’m working on modeling a recent creation in MLcad, and noticed that there is a difference in the height of the .dat versions of these parts:



When they are lined up side-by-side, the click hinge portions do not line up. This picture is saved from MLcad, and shows the problem:

Has anyone else noticed this?

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I’ll do what I can to correct the official part library in the next parts update.

without measuring, just by sight, I’d say the 1x2 is the incorrect one, it’s lugs should be moved up to match the 1x4

Actually its the other way about. 30387 is wrong. More accurately, the subpart s/30387s01.dat does not match the guidance notes in p/clh1 and p/clh4.

0 // Placement on side of bricks; rotate accordingly, 0 // place on side 10 Ldu below top surface.

I’ve uploaded a corrected version to the parts tracker http://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptdetail.cgi?f=parts/s/30387s01.dat

OK Chris, I’ve gotta disagree here - I just measured a representative sample of my click hinges, and the lugs are ALL closer to the top of vertical end wall than the bottom. The position of the lug in your new version is definitely incorrect. Whether thats a problem with the primitive or the sub-part I don’t know, but it definitely needs changing.

(...) We are both partially right - but there is a generic problem with these parts. The important dimension is the position of the axis of rotation of the click hinge, relative to the brick. For the geometry to work this must be the same distance (...) (20 years ago, 20-Jun-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
