Hi folks,

I’m currently working on the “Canvas Wagon Cover with Oval and Two Crossed Cutlasses Pattern”



and before I start cleaning the part for PT-fitness I’d like to ask the LSC
for some guidelines, since this is the first canvas part ever authored.
Actually best would be if the LSC could set up a standard as they did for the
stickers:

http://www.ldraw.org/Article339.html

with a spot on the following questions:
  • Shall the part be modeled by real colors, where they are not modifiable
    from the outside, and so the use of color numbers 16 and 24 is not allowed?
    If this the case shall a special color (may be a texture defined in
    LDconfig.ldr) be used or a color close to an official LDraw color (15 - White
    in this case)?
  • I measured the thickness and got approx. 0.4 mm (1 LDU). Think it can also
    apply to the others http://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?catID=162
  • Shall I submit also a non-pattern version as we do for parts?
  • Do we want also the unfold version for a “Bill of Material” like this
    http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemPic.asp?P=x192px1? IMHO it would be
    overkill - beside the fact that an unfold version has to be re-modeled from
    scratch :-(
  • Any ideas on the numbering for the case we don’t have the itemID for older
    canvases?
  • The name of the part begins with “Canvas” and we definitely need a new
    category.
Your thoughts? Did I miss something?

(...) I think as follow: As the "Canvas" is only useful in the fold version like the design of the part, it should not be modifyable like stickers (colors). Also we do not need an unfold version (mostly useless). Unpatterned versions are only (...) (17 years ago, 17-Feb-08, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw, FTX)

(...) Nice. (...) Doesn't part 522 (URL) the first official part from this family? Should it stand as an example for future such parts, or does it need to be revised after the LSC adopts some guidelines? (17 years ago, 19-Feb-08, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

So...I'm working on the two tepee covers (this is gonna take a while... :-) and: - 'Cloth' (Peeron) or 'Canvas' (Bricklink) ? - thickness: 1LDU looks too thick to me. Have we settled on this, or is it still up for grabs? I'm trying 0.5LDU right now, (...) (16 years ago, 7-Jul-08, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
