That’s great news. Just out of curiosity, do the green and blue bits have any significance, or are they just random?

Since LDView was used for the part images, and there are plenty of smooth curves, it appears that stl2dat did a reasonably good job of putting in conditional lines (linetype 5). There are some parts where they are curiously missing (like the interior hole of 33286), but overall I’d say these look really good.

Cleaning these up with primitives sounds like a big task, though, and people are going to have to decide whether or not to keep all the detail. Just look at 3278 and compare it to 70.dat (although it looks like 70.dat is quite a ways from the actual part geometry).

(...) It looks like the program used to convert these was not perfect. I’m bet we just need to add the correct edge-color and main-color to the areas that are green and blue. Gallagher (17 years ago, 27-Aug-07, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, FTX)
  Re: L(EGO)Draw parts
 
(...) The current public version (1.12) of stl2dat set the face color to green or blue when the face contains degenerated triangles (with 2 or 3 coincident points) in the original stl file. This information can be used to clean the result file. I (...) (17 years ago, 27-Aug-07, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, FTX)
  Re: L(EGO)Draw parts
 
(...) I see in the stl2dat release notes for version 1.12 an options -o5 (which isn't in the documented options list above) that makes it generate convex optional edges (I think it means concave). That's probably why the inner part isn't smooth in (...) (17 years ago, 27-Aug-07, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, FTX)
