Inconsistancy in panels description - Jaco van der Molen - 2019-02-22
Hi all,
There seems to be an inconsistency in the description of various panels.
I have a model that has a few of this kind of panels:
60581 Panel 1x4x3 with side flanges
87544 Panel 1x2x3 with side supports with hollow studs
87552 Panel 1x2x2 reinforced with hollow studs
Is it me, or do we mean the same with "side flanges", "side supports" and "reinforced"?
IMHO we should choose either one of these 3, preferably "reinforced" I think.
Also the "with hollow studs" is missing from 60581 Panel 1x4x3.
Do we agree to rename the description or is there really a reason to have 3 descriptions for the same thing?

I personnaly prefer "with side flanges" as it is more descriptive than "reinforced" (how is it reinforced?). IMHO "with hollow studs" should be removed from all of them as no panel with flanges have plain studs.

OK, the reinforcement is so they won't bent. For I have broken a panel 1x2x3 without flanges pressing it in a model once ;-)
But I feel totally fine with side flanges too. Remove the hollow studs is OK too.
We must not forget all printed versions too!
Should we submit these changes to the parttracker?

I think, this should be done via a fast track action by Chris.

Chris, did you read this?
How to proceed?

OK, since we went to proceed with the description of certain tiles and plates, I think it is time for this too.
I'd plead to use "reinforced" because this a term that is used many times in other parts to that have some kind of, well, reinforcement to them.
So, here is another list @Chris:
