So, I'd like to propose a new category for all round(ed) parts.

Excellent idea.

And re-title them to:

553.DAT       Round Cylinder  2 x  2 with Dome Top
30151.DAT     Round Cylinder  2 x  2 x  1 & 2/3 with Dome Top
30361.DAT     Round Cylinder  2 x  2 x  2 Robot Body
6259.DAT      Round Panel  2 x  4 x  4
30360.DAT     Round Cylinder  3 x  6 x  2 2/3 Horizontal
30208.DAT     Round Cylinder  4 x  4 Hemisphere Multifaceted
4740.DAT      Round Dish  2 x  2
3960.DAT      Round Dish  4 x  4
4285.DAT      Round Dish  6 x  6 Webbed
3961.DAT      Round Dish  8 x  8

Not bad.

What do we do about <part:4032> (Plate 2 x 2 Round)? Is
"plate" or "round" most important? I presume that we should
stick to the current name and add "round" as an extra
category. A similar question concerns <part:3941> (Brick 2 x
2 Round).

In general, does this sound like a well-rounded idea?

:-)

Yes.

Play well,

Jacob

(...) This is a good and important point. If the category "round" is to take the same functionality as, say, the "slope" category, it would be more correct to rename existing parts into Round Plate 2 x 2 Round Brick 2 x 2 and so on. After all, slope (...) (23 years ago, 3-Jan-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

Hi y'all! Yes, this is Steve, once again geeking on the parts library organization. :) We've currently got a group of parts labeled 'Cylinder'. See (URL) for a list of the parts. But there's a problem: not all of these parts are actually cylinders. (...) (23 years ago, 2-Jan-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
