Parts Authors: don't forget to update the Parts Tracker pages. Please mark your parts which are in the LCAD9904 update (and don't need more work). I have to post these reminders as penance for continually forgetting to do my updates. Steve LDraw (...) (25 years ago, 25-May-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Whoops, you're right. But, in the case of the 1x2 plates and bricks, the centerpoint is on level with the top of a plane, and on the rectangular lattice formed by the studs. As for the 2x5 and 2x9 hinge plates, these are a real exception. (...) (25 years ago, 25-May-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Quick update: I'm in favor of these files (I need one of them for the 3x3x2 cone!) Last night, I asked the other members of the committee for feedback. Some corrections are needed on these files: 1. They should each have a standard header. (...) (25 years ago, 25-May-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) I've made LDLite save 8 bit bitmaps and sent the changes to Paul about 1 month ago but he didn't answer me. I wonder if he didn't get the message or if he just didn't like what I've done. :) Leonardo (25 years ago, 25-May-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Just to provide a more-or-less final answer to this question, Image Magick includes mogrify.exe, which is designed to do mass file conversions. Using mogrify, I converted all the VEC images to BMP-RLE format. Which took the VEC down to 6.5MB. (...) (25 years ago, 25-May-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Yeah, but only when the rotation point is in a normal position. I agree with Sproat, because the hinges will still be easy to position if left unturned. Also, whenever they are turned, it will most likely be in a sub model, so the insertion (...) (25 years ago, 25-May-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) 1. whoops. Dang, I mindlessly pasted the images into gif file without thinking. I will delete those. 2. The plates will be fixed. I made the decision to go ahead and release the parts as-is, and wait for a fix from Steve. -- Terry K -- (25 years ago, 25-May-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) You are correct, sir. I was aware of that, and Steve Bliss has already said he will fix those of his that are in error, as well as an original piece by James. At the time he said this, I already had the update all ready to go, and so decided (...) (25 years ago, 25-May-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) The center should be centered on the top of the brick, between the studs, as it is with every other hinge piece in LDraw. Moving the center of rotation to the hinge is a trivial amount of work, as it is with every other hinge piece in LDraw. (...) (25 years ago, 24-May-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) The center should be on the rotation point. Like you said, rotating the pieces when the rotation point is not centered on the hinge is a bigger pain than getting the pieces into the right position. (It would be great if some future version of (...) (25 years ago, 24-May-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
