On stickers: Should stickers be treated, for part authoring purposes, as if they were printed on the parts? If so, should we indicate somehow that the part is stickered as opposed to printed? And on certification (on LDraw.org's parts tracker): I've (...) (23 years ago, 21-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) I'm currently working on modelling of the stickers of the Technic black Supercar. Before that I put some question in thread (URL) we agreed on the approach that stickers are separate parts just as they were ordinary bricks since, they can be (...) (23 years ago, 22-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

In some cases, like attached to rounded surfaces, I think the only way is to solve the problem is to create a part-with-sticker file. A sticker could be attached in many more or less creative ways, and I think the modeller should have the freedom to (...) (23 years ago, 22-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) I agree that authors should not be allowed to self-certify, but ONLY if we get sufficient active reviewers to keep things moving. The last three updates would have been much smaller without self-certification. Some new reviewers have become (...) (23 years ago, 22-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

Hello! (...) still (...) says (...) I agree to the point too.... we need more reviewers. There are like 5 parts in the line I did... and they are there for a long time. That isn't very satisfying. I know a lot of authors who are waiting for their (...) (23 years ago, 22-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) From reading that thread, it sounds like the only reasonably solution to both the bleed and seam gap problems is to author the parts and stickers together. Problems with stickers as separate parts: Nomenclature: - 6 digits for the sheet ID (...) (23 years ago, 22-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) My take on this is that self-certification is a small perk for people who take the time to review *other* people's parts, and help newer authors along. (...) Generally, you should only certify parts that you actually possess. But if you find a (...) (23 years ago, 22-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) I think this is an important point. Subfiles are *very* useful tools for modeling parts, but we should use them with restraint. I will frequently model a part using multiple subfiles, but then I will inline all the code into a single file (...) (23 years ago, 22-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Reviewers should feel able to make comments like "subpart unnecessary - I would prefer these to be inlined". From an authors perspective, I have a preference to keep things modularised - that way a correction to a symetrical region of the part (...) (23 years ago, 22-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) I have only one printed part that looks like this one: (URL) by James Jessiman. The first occurance I know of for this part was 1998 (set 4222, according to Peeron). However, I also have several stickered 1x4s with a sticker matching this (...) (23 years ago, 25-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

Hello Chris, (...) Nice that you did this experiment.. On the long run it would be nice if you did not only remove the self-certifications but also review other parts instead. There won't be any throughput when nobody is reviewing any parts... and (...) (23 years ago, 13-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
