    Re: Non-TLG Parts —Ryan Dennett
   I have sort of already modelled this piece in LDraw. I use it all the time as a connector for my fire houses(shoe lace and flexi rubber Lego ones). Ryan (...) (25 years ago, 14-Feb-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

        Re: Non-TLG Parts —Steve Bliss
   (...) You could generate a random height-grid, to represent the broken side of the neo-part. Use that information as a mesh, and convert it to LDraw code. Steve (25 years ago, 15-Feb-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

    Steve Bliss wrote in message <36c84429.9637535@lu...et.com>... (...) Since it would be a random function, wouldn't you need to generate the mesh each time the element is used?

        Re: Non-TLG Parts —Steve Bliss
   (...) Just generate the mesh once. The part-file would be static, with one rough/broken side. It's still a lot of work for just one element -- it'd be easier to take the existing part-file, and just break it in half. Steve (25 years ago, 16-Feb-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

   (...) Roy, Did you ever finish that part? I dropped by your web-page, once upon a time, and it seemed like the file was there for downloading. If it's complete, you should submit for the next parts update. Steve (25 years ago, 15-Apr-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

         Abuse (was: Re: Non-TLG Parts) —Steve Bliss
     (...) jw is being abused not because his parts stink, but because his attitude does. If someone else performed exactly the same actions jw has, but more appropriate language, they wouldn't be abused at all. Steve (25 years ago, 16-Apr-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
