Hello!
Past few days when i was working up parts who never have been reviewed
before in parts tracker I noticed a lot of segment parts for Lego Technic.
Basically these parts consists of a small segment or link to make a wire or
tube of it (pneumatic things etc.)
If you look at these pars in a parts viewer they look very strange, more
like primitive or subpart., but there are either or. I was thinking maybe
even have separate directory for it (like /seg) , so authoring programs
would know how to handle these parts.
From my point of view all parts who represent cables, tubes, ropes, (maybe
even chain links) - everything whats bendable but you cant really take apart
should belong to a category like that.
For example it would be nice to have ML-Cad known that a special pat is a
segment part and when you drop it in the model window it woul ask right away
where to set start and end-point and calculate the segment between. I know
thats more a programming thing. But ML-Cad has to know somehow that it could
do that with theses parts especially.
How do you think on this?
Any comments are appreciated.
Play well
Carsten

This includes all composite parts, atomic parts, shortcuts, and segments. Other files go (...) (23 years ago, 11-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
