Constraction part descriptions? - Magnus Forsberg - 2016-06-19
I recently uploaded a number of parts found in LDD to the Part Tracker, using the word "Constraction" in the description.
Arezey asked for a changed description of one of the recycled, official parts, 98577.
How many more parts should use the same word? Are all parts with the big ball+socket combination Constraction parts?
I want to change some of the parts using "ball" and "socket" in their descriptions; 50898, 89650, 89651, etc.
Some of them, IMO are too thick; 60176, 61053, 61054, 64311
The cross section of a beam is allways rectangular (18x20 ldu). These all have a square cross section (20x20 ldu).
I want to rework them. Would that be OK?
I'm working on more constraction parts. I now have about eight parts prepared, but don't know how to name them.
The red parts in this picture.

Is there somewhere a defined or widely used way of naming the "skelleton", "shell" and "decorative" parts in The Character and Creature Building System ?
