 | | Parts Database (Was: Idea: ... Lego piece naming convention?)
|
|
So far, I've only used LDraw's partlist and Lutz's, but I must say Steve's looks very promising. When it comes to Lego databases, there is an infinite amount of data we all wish to enter or seek on. Here's my two ideas to make Mission Impossible a (...) (25 years ago, 6-Jul-99, to lugnet.general, lugnet.cad.dev)

When it goes live, the main page with all the info will be displayed. something like that would be more suited for a splash page. So I'm looking (...)

(...) Heck, as long as it loads quickly and doesn't get in the way, I sure wouldn't mind seeing a POV-rendered image on the www.ldraw.org homepage. Sure, www.ldraw.org isn't www.povray.org, but over time POV-Ray is becoming more and more a part of (...) (25 years ago, 6-Jul-99, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

As you say, for different applications the best name to use can vary for a piece. Even, if one wants to call a 1x1 brick a (...)

(...) What's wrong with the model already being used? And why a POV-Ray? This isn't pov-ray.org, it's ldraw.org. To be completely pure, it should be an image generated by LDraw. But an LDLite-sourced image would be very nice, as well. Also, IMO, an (...) (25 years ago, 6-Jul-99, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
