(...) Did anybody ever did actually fix the parts though? I (...) (14 years ago, 22-Sep-10, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

Secondly, the current algorithm is actually useful to part authors, since it can visually highlight missing conditional lines. (...) (14 years ago, 23-Sep-10, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

| | | | (...) Hmmm, it seems to me that any algorithm that can find the missing Type 5 lines (in order to create the dummy entries) should be able to find *all* of the Type 5 lines. Some missing lines is just a special case of all missing. So just include (...) (14 years ago, 23-Sep-10, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
