solving the remaining problems for Electric Plugs on the Parts Tracker |

The electric plugs of the 4.5V and 12V era are nearly 99% completed.
They currently all sit on the Parts Tracker:
http://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptreviewsum...ctricplugs
However, there are a small handful of problems to be solved,
and I would like to ask for help, advice and/or a caliper in this case,
as I am not at my LEGO collection currently (sadly).
PROBLEM A: Plugs Intersect with Parts in Assemblies
Here's an example:
Code: 1 16 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 4169.dat
1 0 0 -122 -1 0 0 -1 1 0 0 0 -1 0 512p01.dat
1 0 0 -122 23 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 -1 0 266bc02.dat
1 16 0 -102 10.5 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 -1 0 766ac02.dat
What you can see here is that the plug intersects with the signal main body.
There are 2 possible reasons for this:
(i) the plug is too thick
(ii) the sockets in the 2x2 lightbrick are misplaced
How should we solve this?
Problem B: Vertical Sockets Placement in Lightbricks
When you look at the 2x2 lightbricks in this example, you can see that the vertical placement
of the electrical sockets is different at the white 12V brick than at all others.
As far as I remember from my childhood, this was not the case.

1 47 223 12 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 933c02.dat
Problem C: Diameter of Foil Plugs
The diameter problem of the foil plug
http://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptdetail.cg.../u9238.dat
is still unsolved. Choosing a radius for it which would make it fit snugly into its plastic parent
would make it no longer fit into existing socket holes.
Choosing a radius such that the latter works would no longer make it fit into its plastic parent.

Hey,
Here is the stable and hopefully bug-free LPC 1.4.5.
Please uninstall older versions of this software before installing a new version.
Your configuration won't be deleted if you have already version greater than 1.3.1 installed on your machine.
Change log:
New features: - The toolbar contains more icons.
Fixed bugs from 1.4.4 and older:- It is possible to modify primitives when the triangle mode is activated.
(see full list of tickets for 1.4.5)
I included a short readme.htm in the installation directory.
Cheers & Leg Godt
Nils

No Standard mention the usage of "s\" |

As I did not find any documentation on the usage of "s\" I suggest to change the Official Header Standard:
Official Library Header Standard
Filename is the file name
extend to:
Filename ist the file name relative to <LDRAWBASEDIR>/parts or <LDRAWBASEDIR>/p
