A question for all part authors

How do you figure out the measurements for your parts?  I'm not talking
about the obvious measurements such as stud width but the more intricate
details on some of the more complex parts.  Do you use a micrometer, eyeball
it, compare it other parts, etc...?  I know everyone has their favorite
method but I'm anxious to here from all (esp. Marc Klein, Bernard Broich,
and anyone who done any Bionicle part).

If the region of the part interfaces with an existing part then I base it
upon that. Although, feel free to challenge existing parts if they are
incorrect.
Otherwise I do use a micrometer or steel rule (Imperial dimensions - using
1/64 = 1LDu), often rounding to the nearest 1LDu, and checking for visual
appearance.
