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 bricks are bricks too, but they're still put into the
slope category. Hence, it would be more consistent to do the same
with round bricks and plates.
An alternative approach would be to let the new "round" category
include _only_ "odd" parts that are not also in the brick or plate
categories. This sounds a bit strange to me, but it would clearly
impose less changes to parts that already exist.
I would prefer the first approach, to rename _all_ rounded bricks and
plates into the new category. But at the same time, I am a bit
unsure, as this will mean rename a bulk of parts. So I am certainly
not sure if it is a good idea!
While we are discussing the subject of renaming parts, what do you
think about the suggestion posted here:
http://news.lugnet.com/cad/dev/?n=6371
For the benefit of off line users, let me quote:
| The name of part 2637 "Technic Link 16L" is a bit problematic, because
| it interferes with the 3711 "Technic Link Chain" and 3873 "Technic
| Link Tread".
|
| Would it make sense to rename 2637 to "Technic Rod 16L"? That way, it
| would appear in it's own sub category, rather than sitting with the
| chain links. At the same time, the 2739 "Technic Steering Link" could
| be renamed "Technic Rod 6L Steering", for example.
