   Hi folks,

I overhauled the Brick 1 x 6 x 5 with Rocket Launch Pattern - 3754p90.dat.



   Although this is the re-engineering of an existing LEGO part, it will NOT be submitted to the LDraw Parts Tracker for certification. It would never make it through the certification process, because the dithered color 257 hasn’t been separated into a subpart for being backwards compatible with Ldraw 0.27. In fact I don’t want my parts any longer compatible with an 8 years old DOS-prog I haven’t ever used. The pattern looks fine in MLCad, LDView and L3Lab; also the Povray-rendering through LPub didn’t cause any trouble - that’s all I want. It’s no news that the more subparts a part uses the long it will take to go through certification. Subfiling in order to reducing file size is fine - to work around the color issue of an outdated prog, with many and better alternatives available, definitely not.

Sorry I’m a bit late to the party (been on vacation) but I think you should submit it. It looks good enough for me. Actually I think it’s too good not to submit.

Compare your part (as seen in LDRAW):


Unable to embed http://ldglite.sourceforge.net/3754p90.bmp in /cad/dat/parts/?n=5568


And this official part (as seen in LDRAW):


Unable to embed http://ldglite.sourceforge.net/3754p01.bmp in /cad/dat/parts/?n=5568


Which one looks better? Now I’m not an official reviewer, but I’d have to say your part gets my vote. An improperly dithered dark blue clearly beats the yucky magenta color 5 used around the numbers in the official part. What’s up with that?

Have fun,

Don
