  Call for votes: Unofficial files in the OMR
Posted by: Willy Tschager - 2012-04-12, 19:16 - Forum: Standards Board - Replies (6)

Please vote on the proposal below. Please modify the Subject to include your name and vote, in addition to giving your vote in the text.



Change in http://www.ldraw.org/Article593.html:

Quote:Unofficial parts are allowed to be used. The filename of the unofficial part is subject to the naming rules above (e.g. 33056.dat would be renamed to <MPD Filename> - 33956.dat).

to

Quote:Unofficial parts are allowed to be used. The filename of the unofficial part is subject to the following naming rules:

<Set Number>[-<Optional Qualifier>] - <Unofficial Part Number>.dat

<Set Number> is the the number printed on the model's container.
<Optional Qualifier> is a sequential number, starting with 1, added if there is more than one set that could be assigned <Set Number>
<Unofficial Part Number> is the unofficial part number assigned in that very moment

(e.g. 33956.dat would be renamed to 3345 - 33956.dat or 3345-1 - 33956.dat).

  Active Duty
Posted by: Philip Peickert - 2012-04-11, 14:17 - Forum: Off-Topic - Replies (1)

I apologize for not having been able to respond to any communications sent to me. I have been called up to active duty and will be deploying to Afghanistan in June, and we have had a lot of training recently. I will attempt to post any active parts I have been working on in the hopes that someone who has the time might complete them, otherwise I'll resume working on them when I return next year. Thanks.

  Basebricks, stud4f4n.dat, and ribs
Posted by: Greg Teft - 2012-04-11, 4:44 - Forum: Parts Authoring - Replies (5)

Looking at the old held or non-ca parts, I thought I'd tackle a group of them at once:

6162 33230 6161
and add 47115 (similar to 6162).

I noticed some discussion on stud4f4n.dat about standardizing these extra primitives, and would like to take it one step further.

Before I uploaded a bunch of new primitives, I thought I'd share my thoughts and see what others think.


The flanges on the stud4f's could extend to the meet the next flange, and additional stud4's with longer flanges could be used for edges and corners. This would reduce the file tree and number of polygons used for each rib.

Groups for single- and double-spaced stud4f's and double-spaced stud4's could be created for the standard cases (4 flanges).

Ribs and rib-groups to make up between double-spaced stud4's and edges could also be created.

I've attached a couple preliminary files to show my thoughts about the non-flush ribs and double-spaced stud groups.


None of the stud4f's are released yet, and the parts that use them aren't either.

Opinions?

Has anyone here have some first hand accounts of using the Cloudflare service? The hosted I used just enabled it for my domains and I'm curious if this is something I should activate or ignore?
