You're a brave man. ;)

I think you've gotten a taste of how the community feels. This has come
up before, with some half-height plates (I think these were Tyco parts,
maybe MegaBloks did them, too). They were not allowed into a parts
update.
OTOH, if someone started an indepedent site with clone parts (and even
custom parts), I think that would be pretty cool. I even think it
should there should be a link to it from the JJM. There's a lot more to
LDraw usage than posting DAT files. People often use LDraw source to
generate images, and post the images to their website (for one example).

It's not the resin -- they could use open-top studs to get around this.
Maybe they think the existing parts (1x1 brick with side stud, 1x1 plate
with side loop, etc) are enough.

| (...) I agree with that. I would have no objections to linking to custom sites for non-lego parts. The more the merrier. I just think that LDraw should remain just that. Not MBDraw or TDraw. :-) -- Terry K -- (28 years ago, 11-Feb-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
