Moving the center of rotation to the hinge is a trivial amount of work, as it is with every other hinge piece in LDraw. (...) (26 years ago, 24-May-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

Also, whenever they are turned, it will most likely be in a sub model, so the insertion (...) (26 years ago, 25-May-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

| | | | | (...) Whoops, you're right. But, in the case of the 1x2 plates and bricks, the centerpoint is on level with the top of a plane, and on the rectangular lattice formed by the studs. As for the 2x5 and 2x9 hinge plates, these are a real exception. (...) (26 years ago, 25-May-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
