Spring specifications |

Hi all,
Does anyone has the exact spring specifications for the common shocks and pneumatic pump parts?
I want to supply default templates for them in the up comming LDCad version.
I'm looking for the wire thickness and winding counts (per spacing group). It doesn't matter if they are in rest or compressed state.
I need this for the following parts:
6.5L technic sock (both versions)
9.5L technic (bike) shock
10L technic damped shock
technic pneumatic pump 2 x 2 x 5 with large knob
technic pneumatic pump 2 x 2 x 5 with 1 port
Any help is appreciated.

p/low fast draft parts |

Hi Y'all,
I was dusting off my notes on LOD when I noticed that octa-studs have already been moved to /8 in the official library, something that was discussed here.
http://forums.ldraw.org/showthread.php?t...45#pid9745
This gives us three levels of detail by searching /p/8 and /p/48 for primitives.
I would like to propose a fourth level of detail, designed to be the lowest quality rendering possible. Such rendering would have:
- No studs at all.
- No part interiors.
The LOD would be targeted for real-time viewing of stupidly-huge models, e.g. all of Datsville at once, etc. The goal is to preserve some vague shape and color of the model while bringing down vertex count as much as possible.
The goal would _not_ be to replace every single part with a simpler version, but rather to replace a subset of parts that are very commonly used (e.g. all of the standard dimension bricks, plates, etc.), possibly using a human-directed script.
In my past experimenting with this technique I found that a small number of 'draft' quality bricks could have a pretty huge impact on the weight of a model.
Anyway, if anyone thinks this is a terrible idea, or has strong feelings on how such a sub-set should be built, please let me know. I'd like to start putting a part set together.
Cheers
Ben

I there any working way to atach bitmap to Ldraw parts? Specifically for minifigs. There are almost all bitmaps from Minifigs series in LDD. I extract them from it, but i am thinking about attaching them to ldraw parts.
