 | | Similar patterned parts in different colours
|
|
In the past, in an attempt to conserve the dwindling supply of two-digit pattern codes, we decided on a special way to handle patterned parts where the pattern existed in more than one colour. The base part was hard coded (usually white), and the (...) (22 years ago, 26-Jul-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) How's this coming along? Partsref still lists Tile 1 x 4 (without groove); was this piece discovered to exist? It would also be nice if the grooveless parts could have "a" appended to their numbers, and "without Groove" appended to their names (...) (22 years ago, 26-Jul-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

hi steve, (...) many thx for the hint. (...) are we takling about categories like "brick" and "plate" or sub-categories, which will need a renaming of the header? probably the fact that I just use MLCad causes some misunderstanding. I can't see a (...) (22 years ago, 25-Jul-02, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) WAY better than using naming to overload. 2916 and 2917 get at best a very weak association if they have train in their name. With the ASSOCIATE keyword extension it becomes quite explicit what their connection is. (and parts can also have (...) (22 years ago, 24-Jul-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) Hmm. Interesting idea. So part 3937 (URL) might have an entry like: 0 ASSOCIATE 3938 6134 and part 3938 (URL) might have: 0 ASSOCIATE 3937 2440 (of course, these examples capture information that otherwise might be captured by a connectivity (...)

(...) It might. (...) I can see your point. And I must admit that the first category I would search for this part under would be "Train". - Which certainly implies that "train" at least should be a keyword for the part. (...) Sort of.

(...) I would argue that 2917 probably belongs in windscreen or window, I guess? In an ideal world there would be a way to associate a part with its "partner" as it were without using naming, there just would be a link between them somehow. (...)

(...) True, but I feel this part might fall under Larry's "terribly unwieldy" escape clause. Even if he doesn't think so. (...)
