My first (non-patterned) parts!

[Willy Tschager]

Hello everyone! I have been using LDraw many years now and I have managed to contribute to the library with some patterned parts in the past. Now I'm back and I have made my first 'real' parts (which isn't just a pattern on an existing part) using the LD Part Editor. However I'm shure that there are a few problems with parts so I am making this thread in the hope that it can provide additional help for these parts to be accepted and for my future improvement as a parts author

Here is the parts:

Impressive work and congratulation to your first part!

I wouldn't have modelled the top of 30585s01.dat:

1 16 0 32 -24 32 0 0 0 0 -32 0 34 0 48\2-4cyli.dat

First because it is hidden by the rest of the structure, second 'cos it doubles the polycount in combination with:

1 16 0 32 -24 0 0 32 -32 0 0 0 -6 0 48\1-8cyli.dat
1 16 0 32 -24 0 0 -32 -32 0 0 0 -6 0 48\1-8cyli.dat

I use prims only if they save me time and effort.
