cinderella, cinderella, all i ever hear is cinderella...
hehehhee. just kidding...
FG addressed this to me personally when i presented the part... and i agree
with him that this is important (especially since i was the one who started
all the hubub about consistant orientation of parts that have a clear
"facing")...
when i submitted all my wheels/tyres, i modified their orientations to meet
the standard we agreed upon... but with this piece i wasn't sure... i look at
it from the "pulley" standpoint.. so i set it up on end, with its flat face
forward much like the other pulleys and gears...
i think everyone is going to see this one as having a "best" orientation.. but
when i made it, i couldn't decide what was right... but i had to choose
something obviously...
whatever we go with will please some, not all... but there isn't a right or
wrong way... i say we go with majority rule (you know us americans and our
democracy... eh eh ehe)
thanks for the input FG!
