Problems with 4218a and 4219a

[Max Martin Richter]

Hej guys,
while building the roof of 10224-1 Town Hall, I run into a problem with both mentioned parts. It seems, that they are not long enough (between the connectors).
In LDD it seems to be exaktly 20 LDU, for the Townhall I need 20.17 LDU. But our parts are only 19 LDU between the connectors. This seems wrong to me. Also the name seems to be wrong, because there is no b-part.

Unfortunately I don't own this to correct it. And I don't really trust LDD in such things.
So if you own these parts please have a look onto it. Thanks.

I'm not sure what you're measuring. Could you take a photo and mark up the problem?

The parts seem to work well with LDraw 4216, but perhaps it is wrong/rounded off too.

Yes, of course here is a picture of my problem:


Actually it is 19 LDU but I think, it should be 20 LDU...

Thanks. I just checked and you are indeed correct, it should be 20LDU. The prongs match perfectly (actually they may have been wider, but definitely not narrower) with the underside studs of a brick. Go ahead and change the part.

I would suggest a correction of this part with the number without identifier "a" (And Bricklink says, that that our 4218 is 4219 and our 4219 is 4218, doesn't it?
The old files should get a ~ in front of the description.

I will get these parts next week. So I can fix both.
