| PT links consistency |

There is some consistency problem on PT concerning the link texts and what they point to:
- in detail page/required/related subfiles, title text points to detail page while part_number.dat allows to download file. Perfect imho.
- in activity page, there is only a link on part_number.dat, but it points to detail page. I'd like it to download file, and get a link on title pointing to detail page
- Similar problem in parts list, i'd like part_number.dat to directly download file (and, for sake of consistency, show the .dat extension)
- I guess that file scan could/should be homogeneized too, with link to download on part_number.dat, link to detail page on part title, and link column with only the events link.
Even more nitpicking, use bold face for title in activity/list/scan pages like it is used in detail page.

| THEME meta? |

Say, what's the deal with the !THEME meta? It's an optional meta for the OMR spec, but it doesn't appear in the list of official metas, nor the list of known unofficial ones. LDCad doesn't know it, are there other programs that do? Is it helpful to include when submitting to the OMR, or is it just as easy to include the theme as a keyword?

| Primitives with mixed subdivisions |

I am working on the Belville Door, 33216, which has a rounded narrow side which goes along another curve. So naturally it should be a torus.
Now comes the problem: The major radius is 69.5 LDU, the minor radius is 2.5 LDU. The size of the major radius calls for a 48 segment division, but for the other dimension 48 segments are way too much.
So I think a set of primitives would make sense, that have a 48 segment division for the major radius, but a standard 16 segment division for the minor one. This could apply if the major radius is more than 10 times the minor one.
Also, if those primitives, made by the primgen2, have 'only' 4 decimals, the scaling to a radius of 70 leads to gaps, extending this to 5 decimals is a benefit for those applications.
Currently I made a subfile for this special torus-"primitive"
What's your opinion?

Hello,
I use LeoCAD very often and it is a great software.
I have used it for many designs.
For my next project I need some Lego parts which are unfortunately not in the standard and also not in the unofficial library.
Would it be possible to add
the part 4427073 (6x30 trainbase with battery and IR receiver) from set 7897,
the part 4294137 (cockpit) from the set 7897 and
the part 6078201 (cockpit) from the set 60051
to the brick library?
Or has anyone built this part before and could make available it for me?
Best Regards
Sven
