^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Agreed, except that in the case of the 1x2 brick -- there are two molds
still in use today: one with a post down the center and one without.
The one without the post is of course the one used for little windows --
like in trans-dark-blue in 6175 Crystal Explorer Sub.
It's important to me that the two versions of the 1x2 brick be
distinguishable in a DB for parts-auction purposes, but maybe not for CAD
building purposes. Still, I'd be bummed out if I couldn't run L3P on a
model and get the right type of 1x2 brick. :)
