The current bushloc primitives are divided into 32 segments where as most of the

uploaded new versions of bushloc2 and bushloc3. Then I looked at some of the

These extra lines can easily be fixed by removing the inner edges on the bush
locks, but is this desirable or should the inner edges be left alone?

I agree with what you have done to adjust bushloc2 and bushloc3 to fit
16-segment polygons:

Fixing primtives is usually quite a challenge for the parts update process
because all the affected parts need to be re-issued at the same time as the
corrected primitive. However, in this case the dependency set is so small I
think we should do it:

bushloc2 is used only in:
4265a.dat - not on Parts Tracker
6542.dat - http://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptdetail.cgi?s=6542
6577.dat - http://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptdetail.cgi?s=6577

bushloc3.dat is used only in:
4273a.dat - http://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptdetail.cgi?f=parts/4273a.dat
4273b.dat - http://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptdetail.cgi?f=parts/4273b.dat

If you can re-work 4265a, and we can expedite the review of these parts then I
can make sure these all get released together.

There's still the question of the interior edges though. Should they be removed
or left as if? Also some of these could benefit from use of subparts, a common
subpart for both 4273a and 4273b then another subpart to be used by 6577 and
4265a. Would use of a subparts be acceptable in this case?
