wheels+tyres: correct the 6 odd files out of 320+ - Steffen - 2024-03-25
Hi LDRAW friends,
when looking at our wheels+tyres collection...:
...you will notice that 6 out of the 320 files are wrongly oriented (marked in pink).
As that number is very small, I think it would be acceptable to create corrected variants of these 6
(as NEW part files, of course, to not break existing models)
and make the wrongly oriented ones a MOVED-TO to the correct ones.
The new part number would simply be adding a "...b" suffix to the existing one.
I would like to volunteer to do this, but first I would like to request an OK for this from the other
experienced parts authors / the SteerCo
Opinions? It is just 6 files and would make our library consistent.
I would be very happy looking at the wheels above and see them all oriented the same way.
...Steffen

the "...b" variants with corrected orientation are now on the PT:

How about all the shortcuts now using the moved part?
Don't they also need to be updated and not use the Move to-part?

Of course, this can be done in a later step.
This always occurs when adding a MOVED-TO.
I can do that if wanted.
I'll probably wait with that until the 6 wheels + their MOVED TOs have accumulated enough CERT votes.
The MOVED-TO files of course contain the proper matrix
to map the new ...b files to the old (wrong) orientation.
