Hi Niels, thanks for the comments.
| |
I don’t know enough about decorated parts to answer, try ask at Orion or
Chris via the mail at Ldraw.org
|
OK, On the Part tracker they surely will suggest something if it isn’t correct.
| |
| |
2. Since this is the first patterned version of the base part, is it
necessary to move the body of the part to subfile? (In the case of the
similar 3040.dat it is done so). If the anwser is yes I will do it.
|
That’s a really good idea, that way other can use it for patterns in the
future (That should solve the author credit question as well).
When you do so, I think it’s a good idea to put the removed lines in a
commented section like in this part:
http://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptdetail.cgi?s=6153s01. And you can just as
well remove both sides of the slope at once, to prepare for parts with
decorations on both sides.
|
Good idea I will follow that.
| |
As for the decoration itself, I can’t really make sense of the white (and
blue) “something”, are you sure it’s correctly representated? What colour is
the part supposed to be?
|
Yes, I believe the pattern is correct. The part appears only in the Technic
Supercar set 8880, and serves as its headlamp. And of course it is black.

When you split the file up, please use a vertical version of the pattern
(that you tilt when inserting into the top file): The pattern is a lot easier
to alter when vertical (it seems like it has been made automatically via some
converter, which isn’t generally liked among reviewers, since it creates an
excess of lines, and a manual simplification overhaul would be apropiate as
soon as possible)
|
OK, the argument is clear, but the vertical or horizontal placement of the
pattern would require to place the pattern in a separate subfile. Since this
pattern appears nowhere else, it isn’t worth to create a separate subfile for
it. I’d rather subfile only the main body of the part.
Thank you
Ampi
