  How do you know the numbers?
 
I'm a bit puzzled. How do you guys know that the Technic Axle #5 has number 32073 (off my memory) and that the Technic Connector with Axlehole has number 32039? As far as I can see, these numbers are not printed on the parts. Do you have a spy (...) (25 years ago, 26-May-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) The "best" orientation for many parts is debatable, and usually easy enough to change when modelling. Especially on baseplates. -- Terry K -- (25 years ago, 26-May-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Discussion-Large Technic Shock 2909c01.dat
 
(...) Yes, the consensus. That is the tough part. I do think that, whichever way we decide to go, that the cross-section should have a little more roundness to it. The output in POV-Ray is proof of that. OK people, how about this: Manfreds (...) (25 years ago, 26-May-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

  Re: Where should I center this one?
 
(...) 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. (...) (25 years ago, 25-May-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

  Re: Where should I center this one?
 
(...) Yeah, but only when the rotation point is in a normal position. I agree with Sproat, because the hinges will still be easy to position if left unturned. Also, whenever they are turned, it will most likely be in a sub model, so the insertion (...) (25 years ago, 25-May-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
