 | | HELP: transformation of primitive causes BFC to stop working [DAT]
|
|
In playing with making a part (3648) BFC certified I have ran into a problem. The following line is in the original file: 1 16 10 10 2 0 0 8 8 0 0 0 1 0 2-4ndis.dat This line transforms the primitive such that the front face is inside the part (I'm (...) (22 years ago, 18-Dec-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

I have been playing around with LDraw, and I have decided that I would like to make an attempt to fix the Technic Gear 24 Tooth part. I noticed that there are several polygons near the axle hole that are "out-of-bounds" (one vertex from several (...) (22 years ago, 18-Dec-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) I have a copy of an updated GLUT that I got from a mac.com site, but I don't know if it the one to which you are referring.

Hmm... The flag 6 x 4 (#43) is actually 6 x 3 1/3. Flag 6 x 4 (#43P01) is 6 x 4. Strange. I do not own any of these two parts, but I think part 43 is either mesured wrong or the description is wrong. Or part 43P01 is wrong... Jaco "Jonathan Wilson" (...) (22 years ago, 12-Dec-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) My opinion is that this isn't a significant enough problem to worry about. Further more, I consider this is a renderer limitation and not a problem with the part itself. Therefore, feel free to ignore this if it suits your purposes. -Orion (22 years ago, 12-Dec-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
