Hmmm wouldn't that be postponing the problems? If LEdit doesn't want to load
it from a regular dat file, why should it load it from a dat file within a dat
file? (hopefully you know what I mean)

Awaiting others opinion then:)

Surprised that no one has made it yet, is it really that difficult, just took
a look at it connected to a beam in various ways, the measures and angles
looks straight forward to get at, or am I pulling a JW here (sorry JW).
Speaking off .... Has just been reviewing some old postings, which got me
concerned about the quality of my work.
Would anyone please let me know if what I've done so far is good enough? I'm a
bit concerned about having to redo a lot (am getting a bit bored with the
2951:)) it is quite cumbercome:)
I'll gladly admit that some of the measures are guessed, simply because I
don't have the right tools to get in to the nooks of this parts, but as I see
it, if the bucket is a degree of in angle to the pegholes, that is not of
great importance here, since the only possible way to connect anything to the
piece (could've made a joke here, but I'm a bit tired now:) is through the
pegholes.
One issue that I am concerned with however is the tiny "roundings" where the
pegholes connect to the bucket, they're probably there due to molding issues.
Should they be modeled as well?
Sincerely John.
