Partial reviews - Peter Blomberg - 2025-11-17
How should partial reviews be mentioned? Is there a short list of items that can be used for classifying partial reviews? Like a,b, and c checked, but d, e, f, and g not.
Perhaps:
- Edger2 (with default settings)
- BFC, Gaps, Edges
- Overlap, Vertex rounding
- Prim use, complementary cond lines, prim substitution
- Origin
- Fit/clash with other parts, Help
- Links, Number/name, Visual similarity to real part/pictures
- Keywords, Description
- History, Admin stuff
My review process looks something like this:
Make a search/filter in the parts tracker to obtain a batch of similar parts for review. If a part has unresolved issues in the existing comments or a hold vote I accept, it won't be selected.
Mainly freeform parts
-Edger2 with default settings. On error report findings as hold or comment. When I'm lazy, I only report what Edger2 complains about. Otherwise, I try to figure out why Edger2 complains to make the error report more useful.
-BFC, Gaps, Edges in LDView. On error report findings as hold or comment. Important to mention coordinates.
-Origin, Prim use, Overlap, Vertex rounding, compl cond, prim subst. On error report findings as hold or comment
-Fit to other parts, bottom stud connectivity, Help. On error report findings as hold
-Links, Number/name, Visual similarity. On error report findings as comment
-Vote certify if no error
Mainly geometric primitives
-Origin, Bounding box, Fit to other parts. On error report findings as hold
-Prim use, Edges, Gaps, Overlap, BFC, Vertex rounding. On error report findings as hold or comment
-Links, Number/name, Visual similarity to real part/pictures. On error report findings as comment
-Keywords, Description, History, Admin stuff. On error report findings as comment
-Vote certify if no error
This means that only a subset of parts in a batch make it all the way through to voting certify. The complementary subset ends up with partial reviews.
