  Re: FAQ for Part Reviewers
 
(...) May be "beginner reviewers" is a name for people like you and me. Then may be "advanced reviewers" is just a new name for acknowledged part authors. These acknowledged part authors just do their best by creating the LDraw parts we love so (...) (23 years ago, 22-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

Hello, (...) Get it at www.m8laune.de. Play well Carsten (23 years ago, 22-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: how to add graphic to part
 
(...) For a quick custom, you can use BMP2DAT32 (if I remember the name right). It comes out with mediocre quality (usually), but it's easier than redrawing your graphic in LDraw vector commands. Steve (23 years ago, 22-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: [Parts Tracker] Reviewing Parts FAQ
 
(...) Ooo, I didn't realize that. Thanks for pointing it out. (...) Is it better now? (URL) Now, we just need a "Part Author's Guide to BFC Compliance" page... Steve (23 years ago, 22-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
 
  Re: [Parts Tracker] Reviewing Parts FAQ
 
Based on this FAQ, I get the notion that BFC is required not optional. Maybe a rewording is in order. Something like: What should I look for when I review a part? . . . . Check the Part for correct BFC (if the part is intended to be BFC complient) (...) (23 years ago, 21-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
 
  Re: FAQ for Part Reviewers
 
(...) I wonder. . .would it be helpful, or simply more confusing, to introduce more "levels" of reviewers? Currently a part requires two votes from regular users plus one from an admin user (which is currently just Steve Bliss, yes?). I think things (...)

  how to add graphic to part
 
Is there a faq somewhere that outlines a way (easy, I hope) to stick a graphic image onto a part? Like for a custom mini-fig? I thought I had seen one once, but now I can't find it... Thanks, James Wilson Dallas, TX (23 years ago, 21-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Numbers...
 
(...) I certainly *hope* not! ;-) I was just saying, hey, we got this here situation... Any ideas on how to expedite the resolution? Thanks, Franklin (23 years ago, 21-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
 
  Re: Requesting another plug-in for LDDesignPad
 
(...) Hmmm, what technique did you use to do the scaling? 0 SCALE meta-commands, or scale and then inline. I used the inliner approach. Here's how it goes in ldglite using the familiar LEDIT style commands (with the scale and inliner extensions). (...) (23 years ago, 21-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Requesting another plug-in for LDDesignPad
 
Don, I tried what you suggested and it worked in L3Lab and LDView, but MLCad doesn't seem to recognize the scaling of the primitives in the part file. --Ryan (...) (23 years ago, 21-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

  Re: FAQ for Part Reviewers (was: Re: BFC and Primitives)

  Re: Numbers...
 
Good statistics, just one note... (...) You should really comb through the lists, and count how many files we've released multiple times in the last 4 updates. We wouldn't want to count duplicates in the averages... Steve (23 years ago, 20-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
 
  Numbers...
 
Here's the current numbers from the Parts Tracker..... From the "Parts List" page: Parts (443 files) Subparts (114 files) Primitives (42 files) 48-Segment Primitives (20 files) (Total: 619) From the "Certification List" page: 20 certified files. 48 (...)

  Re: FAQ for Part Reviewers (was: Re: BFC and Primitives)

  [Parts Tracker] Reviewing Parts FAQ
 
I took the current information available from the Parts Tracker, and the recent discussions in this group, and put together a quick FAQ page about reviewing parts. Please let me know what you think! I will be happy to receive any and all Edits, (...) (23 years ago, 20-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
 
  Re: BFC and Primitives
 
(...) I forgot complication #3: 3. If the file you are reviewing has an embedded transparent area, you won't be able to check the BFC'ness of any surface viewed *through* the transparent area. You can fall back on viewing the part with mytest6 (...) (23 years ago, 20-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

  Re: FAQ for Part Reviewers (was: Re: BFC and Primitives)
 
(...) I think no. If it were so, it would stifle input from those who want to help, but have never (yet?) authored a part. I understand that one who is a parts author would possibly have a better eye for detail in reviewing; it would merely need to (...) (23 years ago, 19-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
