Another (perhaps similar) approach: establish a priority of
categories.  Lay out which categories are 'more important' when a
part fits more than one category.

So it might be that Round has higher priority than Plate, but Wing
overrides Round.


I think this sounds like a sensible approach!

I think it's a good suggestion, and I'm sorry I didn't reply to it
when it was posted.  But I would suggest "Technic Axle" be used,
instead of "Technic Rod".


You mean something like

    2637 Technic Axle 16 with Axleholes
    2739 Technic Axle  6 with Ball Joint Sockets


I am a bit ambivalent about this.  The rods in question are axle shaped,
however they are not _functionally_ axles, as you cannot put things onto
the axles.


There are also the new rod parts, which have an "I" shaped profile beam.
You can find two in black in 6470, and there also exist longer ones
(11L?).  These are not liftarms and are not shaped.  I think these would
be better integrated into a "Technic Rod" category.


All in all, however, I am happy with both ways.

(...) I agree. Let's hope we can agree on a priority! (...) I thought both these would fit OK into the "liftarm" category, as that's how they'd generally be used. ROSCO (22 years ago, 4-Jan-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) I agree totally. A very important point. I'm ambivalent about the resolution. My *first* reaction is that we should leave existing parts mostly alone, unless it is very clear that they should be moved. My second reaction is that I'll go along (...)
