  Re: Why quads? Re: L(EGO)Draw parts - 4th batch
 
(...) 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)
 
  Re: Why quads? Re: L(EGO)Draw parts - 4th batch
 
(...) Actually, no. That is indeed a long-term goal, but it is hampered by two things. First of all, it's a lot of work. 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)

(...) Sorry for that ;o) But (fortunately) here are very few twisted surfaces in LEGO pieces, so I don't think my tool has created too much havoc... (...) Problem is that at this low level I have almost no information about the intended geometry - I (...) (14 years ago, 22-Sep-10, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
 
  Re: Why quads? Re: L(EGO)Draw parts - 4th batch
 
(...) I see. So what you really want to do in LDView is ignore the Type 5 lines (at least for smoothing) and smooth wherever there's no Type 2 edge lines between the triangles (and quads). (...) Did anybody ever did actually fix the parts though? I (...) (14 years ago, 22-Sep-10, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) algorithm. LDView uses Type 5 lines in the LDraw file for smoothing, and considers any two surfaces that have a Type 5 line joining them to be part of a smooth curve. The problem is that two co-planar triangles sitting next to each other (...) (14 years ago, 21-Sep-10, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
