Has some of you may remember, I have modelled the super car (8880) wheels and
tires, but when I modeled it I used Metric measurements (millimeters).
I would Like to know if there is an approved standard for a convertion ratio,
between millimeters and Ldraw units ?
So that I can scale the modelled parts and have them corrected!
I would also like to know when are we going to define orientation standards /
guidelines for when a part is created ?
Since I have seen technic Axels(non-threaded/threaded), wheels, Wind Screens,
Windows, doors, etc... with non matching orientations.
(example: Two wheels which have different rotation axis)
suppose you had diferent orientations for different bricks, that would be a
mess, so Why did this happen for the parts I mentioned before ?
P.S. I know it is a huge task if we ever need to make all these parts have the
same orientation. We would probably have to make a program to correct our dat
files, when the parts were reoriented. Sigh..
See ya

| (...) I believe the conversion is 0.4mm = 1 LDU. At least, that's what I always use. (...) Standards are already there. They just aren't strictly enforced. As I see it, there are two basic "orientation rules": 1. Do the same thing as other, similar (...) (24 years ago, 9-Jun-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
