I recently CAD'd my Tequila Sunrise locomotive, which uses the part 30208.dat,
Cylinder  4 x  4 Hemisphere Multifaceted.

As you can see in the render, the part is overlapping the arch piece on the
boiler:

However, I built this locomotive in real life before I did it in Ldraw, and had
no issue with the arch piece:

So would someone review the dimensions of the file in the Ldraw format versus
real life to make sure it is correct?  I just downloaded the part from the Ldraw
website to make sure I didn't have some older version, but there was no change.

From what I can gather, the part is about a half plate too tall, and if I'm not
mistaken in real life two of these parts put end to end form a perfect
sphere/golf ball, but two in Ldraw look stretched and oblong.

(...) Yep, I think you are right. The 30208.dat part appears to be 4 LDU too tall, unless there are more than one brick version of this part. Unfortunate, because to correct it will probably take a complete reworking of the part. -Matt :) ---...--- (...) (17 years ago, 11-Sep-07, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
