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 necessary if there is also a real unpatterned version.
- Already defined numbering schemes are enought also to cover this parts.
- There should be a new category.
