| (...) Just my .02 Sterling: This word might already be copyrighted and / or trademarked. How cheap is a copyright search? Also -- I kinda prefer the one without the "k". I guess it boosts our class if we're building with fancy Lego "bric"s rather (...) (27 years ago, 7-Jul-99, to lugnet.admin.database, lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.db.inv, lugnet.general)

Sill a ways off from fruition, though. But I think it's one of the very most (...) (27 years ago, 6-Jul-99, to lugnet.admin.database, lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.db.inv, lugnet.general)

| I think that it would be unwise to use words such as vertical clip or gable in part nomenclatures. The gable end piece was designed to be used to complete the gable of a roof, yet it might be used for an entirely different purpose. A 1 x 1 with (...)

| (...) To start with the second point you mention: I don't think anyone should be obliged to used the `standard' nomenclature. As you say, for different applications the best name to use can vary for a piece. Even, if one wants to call a 1x1 brick a (...)

One area in particular that I've seen some problems are sloped brick peaks or apex bricks. Let's start there. Do we (...)

It would be nice if LDraw could use these names also, but sounds like there is good reason for it to use a different set of names. Two sets of (...)
