I noticed an interesting bug in the latest release of the dat files:
#73312 door 1x4x5 w/4 panes is drawn as a door 1x4x5 with 6 panes
and, respectively,
#3861 door 1x4x5 w/6 panes is drawn as a door 1x4x5 with 4 panes

what happened here?
according to my lego collection, the door 1x4x5 with 4 panes IS #3861
so the names are switched. fix for next release?

Thanks for pointing these out!  I'll get them fixed in the next update.

p.s. a better name should be sought for the "technic pin with friction"
(perhaps "technic friction pin"?)

LDraw names tend to not be readable, but classification-based.  So
specific info about the part should appear later in the name.  I'd say
this part name is organized correctly.  'Though if the part was new
today, I'd probably skip the 'with'.

and the parts in the "horse" category need to be put in the "animal" category

Good point.  And the saddle parts, too (see <part:saddle>).

and, the very doors i'm messaging about should be renamed too, as they arent
the least bit similar, besides both being lego, and filling approximately the
same space. (although the number of panes is right....)

What names would you suggest for these parts?

p.p.s. can anyone else get posting from netscape messenger to work? I'm about
to give up.

I use Forte's Agent newsreader.  Sorry.

Steve
