The name of part 2637 "Technic Link 16L" is a bit problematic, because it interferes with the 3711 "Technic Link Chain" and 3873 "Technic Link Tread". Would it make sense to rename 2637 to "Technic Rod 16L"? That way, it would appear in it's own sub (...) (23 years ago, 20-Aug-01, to lugnet.cad.dev)

There was never agreement on what the BFC standard should be. So there aren't very many parts that follow it in any way. I do have a set of primitives that are BFC-compliant. I didn't straighten out all the primitives, but I did a number of them. I (...) (23 years ago, 17-Aug-01, to lugnet.cad.dev)

You could specify (or firmly recommend) in the future that models must posses boundary boxes measured in degrees of tilewidths (or half-tilewidth's). Anything less than that would be considered a prop. Props would then be dealt with seperately, just (...) (23 years ago, 16-Aug-01, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev)

This is great! An idea: if bitmaps were created of the model from 6 directions (left, right, bottom, top, front, back), you could texture map those to the boundary box (inside, to make sort of a 6 point, 3 plane cross intersecting in the center) and (...)
