Is 5404.dat correct? - SNIPE - 2024-03-05

Hi,

I'm just wondering if part 5404.dat is correct, because the 1x1 cheese slope and 2x1 grille slope is 2.5 plats high, but it look slike part 5404 is slightly higher:

I think the bottom lip is slightly too high compared to the other 2 parts

Thnaks for posting this, I wanted to discuss this already after I uploaded the part and then played around with it.
The slopes are two plates high.

The bottom Lip is currently 5 LDU (as is the new cheese grater), the 54200 is 4 LDU

THe raw file from the app is also using 5 LDU. using this geometry, even adapted does not allow this set up, as it cuts into the brick:
   

However due to tolerances etc this is possible in real life (as I got the parts), so I would lower the Lip to 4, which would then give us a 20 LDU high part

Edit: The real life situation is closer to the drawing at the bottom left, interesting...
