(...) Actually I sent Terry an update to 3004P06.DAT some weeks ago using quads rather than rect.dat. It is going to be in the next parts update. Also mine stripes are more accurate when you put two bricks on top of each other with one of them (...) (26 years ago, 1-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Sometimes 'gripping extrusions' are drawn, sometimes not. Depends on the size of the extrusion. I agree about the lips. Why don't you try one, and see how it looks? Steve (26 years ago, 1-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) I'm certainly not offended. OTOH, I'm going to keep with the standard LDraw simplifications, at least to the extent of not including the dimples beneath the studs on plates and bricks. Steve (26 years ago, 1-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Why don't we reference these part numbers as comments in the part-file, perhaps on a 0 KEYWORDS line? Although that would be a headache to deal with, making sure that all new parts get all the appropriate part numbers... Steve (26 years ago, 1-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) I think TLG's numbering always boils down to manufacturing and inventory control. A part number is needed for each molded part, so each subpart needs its own number. And the aggregate, post-gluing part needs a number to track its insertion (...) (26 years ago, 1-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) You've just hit on my pet peeve with the approach of using the most official numbers for LDraw parts -- often, the most official number is *not* the one you find stamped on the part. This will be true if: - You are looking at a multi-part (...) (26 years ago, 1-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
