I do not agree with Steffen.

I think we should try to be realistic.

What is your opinion? And what is the opinion of the admins?

hi mike,

I design my patterns http://www.holly-wood.it/ldraw/authored-en.html the way "I
THINK they should've produced" and I correct any printing errors, like overlaps,
misalignment, shades of color... In the past I had the same problem with many of
the patterns I made and it cost me 2 month to get rid of the borders in the
Brick  1 x  6 x  5 with Rocket Launch Pattern -
http://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptdetail.cgi?f=parts/3754p02.dat I initially coded
in because my print showed them. I'm glad I fixed the borders, regardless of the
effort - Matthew, Kelly I'm authoring parts not for you but for my own enjoyment
;-)

all in all it boils down to misreading prints because of misregistering. read
this thread http://news.lugnet.com/cad/dat/parts/?n=5329&t=i&v=a (unfortunately
some of the pics are broken) with a highlight on this:
http://news.lugnet.com/cad/dat/parts/?n=5345 and this

your ice cream pattern might completely different from mine. go for the ideal
pattern.

Hi Willy,

In that case I would argue that the onus should be on the designer to choose
whether or not to model the ideal or real pattern. If their part is a really
weird one then it can be held but if all copies people can see are the same (and
off) it is absolutely no reason for a hold.

I doubt anyone is going to complain either way after the part has left the
tracker anyway. In this case I don't agree with Steffen. Maybe if it was
completely off and only Mike had such a strange copy it would be different but I
remember from my childhood that part was not quite neat.
