  Re: Mirrored parts and studs
 
(...) And mine as well. If LDView can correct for this then so can any other program. The stud logos are a bonus feature offered by many programs but are not officailly supported by the LDraw spec. (...) This further supports my position on this (...) (21 years ago, 2-Jul-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Mirrored parts and studs
 
Just for kicks and grins.(not!) I'll throw in my $1.25 (...) This may have resurfaced because of the studs with logo files on my webpage. It was a quick thought I came up with a couple years ago. I guess I should remove them and any references to (...) (21 years ago, 2-Jul-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Mirrored parts and studs
 
(...) That is my opinion. The programs should be changed, rather than the parts. One thing to consider: even if we 'fix' all the part files so that all studs render non-mirrored logos, mirrored logos can still occur. For example, if someone created (...)

  Re: Mirrored parts and studs  [DAT]
 
(...) **snip** (...) Ah, the perennial question. During a past discussion of this very topic I offered what I thought to be a semi-workable option similar to #2 above, which I reiterate in the interest of further stirring the pot: We could redo the (...)

  Re: Mirrored parts and studs
 
(...) LDView does not have a problem with mirrored studs. (...) Right! See my posting (URL) Cobbs also explains it well in (URL) 2.) The part itself is flawed in that the studs are mirrored. We should redo (...) Though I acknowledge that L3P should (...) (21 years ago, 1-Jul-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Mirrored parts and studs
 
(...) I'm not going to comment on the actual question, but I want to make it clear that LDView should NOT display the logo mirrored, ever. It automatically detects that the stud has been mirrored, and mirrors the logo back to its correct (...) (21 years ago, 1-Jul-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Mirrored parts and studs
 
(...) Good summation. My preference is 1... a sufficiently clever convertor could perhaps detect this rotation and use rotated versions of the studs that it substitutes somehow in a preprocess step??? If there is a way to do 2 (perhaps with a (...) (21 years ago, 1-Jul-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Mirrored parts and studs
 
(...) Thats what i did with the re-upload of some files from the 2865.dat & 32087.dat parts (9V straight track, 9V track cross ) and the recently posted 2867.dat (9V Curved track). I moved the studs from the subparts to the main file. With the (...) (21 years ago, 1-Jul-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Mirrored parts and studs
 
I am generally against new meta-commands, but inspired by "0 BFD INVERTNEXT", how about something like "0 MIRRORING KEEPPOSITIVENEXT". The more accurate syntax, I leave to the gurus... /Tore (21 years ago, 1-Jul-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Mirrored parts and studs  [DAT]
 
(...) I favour the following scenario - put the part detail in a subpart, but the studs themselves in the main part files. s\xxxxs01.dat bulk of part excluding decorated surfaces and studs (handedness of lowest numbered part) xxxx.dat 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 (...)
