Part 4066 is a Duplo 1x2x2 brick. I'm wondering primarily about naming conventions. This part comes in two versions. The newer version allows a Duplo top-center stud to bind in the center, and the old one doesn't (it has a supporting structure in the way). Naming conventions for parts that have changed over time aren't totally consistent, so I'm wondering what the ideal solution is: Older one: 4066a.dat: Duplo Brick 1 x 2 x 2 Type 1 Newer one: 4066b.dat: Duplo Brick 1 x 2 x 2 Type 2 or: Older one: 4066.dat: Duplo Brick 1 x 2 x 2 Newer one: 4066b.dat: Duplo Brick 1 x 2 x 2 with Center Stud Gap or: Older one: 4066a.dat: Duplo Brick 1 x 2 x 2 old Newer one: 4066b.dat: Duplo Brick 1 x 2 x 2 new or: Only bother with the newer one, since it's functionally just plain better and nobody cares about Duplo anyway. or: Some mix of the above? Something else entirely? Long live Duplo! (oh yeah- and Primo) -- Tony Hafner www.hafhead.com
