  Re: Part Numbering Crisis in LDraw
 
(...) You've just hit on my pet peeve with the approach of using the most official numbers for LDraw parts -- often, the most official number is *not* the one you find stamped on the part. This will be true if: - You are looking at a multi-part (...) (26 years ago, 1-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: DAT voting page up
 
(...) Now, if they were going backwards, they'd really be moonwalking[1] Steve [1] A dance move made popular by Michael Jackson, where the dancer walks backward, but makes it look like they are walking forward. (26 years ago, 1-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: DAT voting page up
 
(...) True, but it's also a precedent. I'd rather have the bottom surface than curved edges. I'd consider a part with all surfaces more accurate than a part with closely-modeled upper surfaces, but the underside completely missing. Maybe I'm just (...) (26 years ago, 1-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Soccer ball pattern
 
(...) Seems like there should be a soccer-ball tessalation[1] somewhere on the web, which could be ported to LDraw relatively easily. Steve [1] May be a mis-use of the term -- not sure of the limits on tessalations. (26 years ago, 1-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Soccer ball name
 
(...) Yes, but you didn't have a LEGO set for your team. :-P Unless those unconfirmed rumors were true. Nah, Matt would have had some by now... Steve (26 years ago, 1-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: DAT voting page up
 
(...) In this case, all the tile elements probably have new, 5-digit part numbers. It would be appropriate to use these numbers for new versions of the tile. In general, if TLG modifies a part but retains the original part number, appending a letter (...) (26 years ago, 1-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Java LDraw/LDLite
 
(...) An online database isn't going to completely address your two issues -- missing parts and parts which haven't been created. Typically, parts will be missing from a model either because (a) the parts aren't made yet (and it's actually problem (...) (26 years ago, 1-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: parts wanted
 
(...) Well, as I said, there's a draft at (URL) specifically, here's the DAT-file, and a GIF image (2 URLs) not finished, but I may or may not finish it in some time. Also, I'm not too sure that I have used the best orientation. The orientation of (...) (26 years ago, 1-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

  Re: Where is the Parts Tracker?
 
(...) Maybe you could add an option to move a part from the request list to the parts tracker. When someone starts to work on a part from the request list instead of adding a new entry, the person would just modify the existing entry and the script (...)

  Re: parts wanted
 
(...) This is already done: "6540.DAT Technic Steering Arm Large" Note that the version drawn has a cross axle hole, while your 8880 may have a normal Technic hole in this part. This part came in two versions, where the first one had the cross axle (...) (26 years ago, 1-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: parts wanted
 
(...) Yes, I'm working on those. But work progress is slow. I have drafts for 2852 Technic Connecting Rod 2853 Technic Crankshaft 2854 Technic Crankshaft Centre at the website (URL) planning to finish off these by some time, but don't hold your (...) (26 years ago, 1-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  VOTING now working
 
Hey all, Thanks to Todd "what would we do without him?" Lehman, the parts vote is back up and running. :-) (URL) to be safe, you should Refresh/Reload on your browser to make sure you don't use a cached copy of the voting page. If you think you have (...)

  Re: Where is the Parts Tracker?
 
(...) OK, well, I know how to update a part on the Parts Tracker Page, but I can't find any way to remove a part from the "Requested Parts" Page. I'm asking because I would be happy to clean up the parts that I requested that have been completed, (...) (26 years ago, 1-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Where is the Parts Tracker?
 
(...) have (...) There is no automation - it is the author's responsibility to move a part to completed when it's submitted, and remove it when the update is released. Chris Dee (26 years ago, 28-Feb-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Soccer ball name
 
(...) I only get the one copy -- the one you e-mail to me (assuming it makes it to me OK, which is highly probable but not guaranteed). I also see a copy of the article you posted when I read via NNTP. If I were reading lugnet.cad.dev via e-mail (...) (26 years ago, 28-Feb-99, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: Where is the Parts Tracker?
 
(...) Thanks! I couldn't find it. Anyway, when does the requested parts list get updated? Isn't it supposed to automatically update "requested" parts that have been completed? --Karim (26 years ago, 28-Feb-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
