[LDPatternCreator] Release 1.7.1 (better rotation / usability / triangulation)

[Takeshi Takahashi]

Hi Takeshi,

welcome to the forums and congratulation for your first part! My suggestions for your part would be filling the room between the petals as much as you can in order to avoid long stretched triangles:

And since the pattern is symmetrical split it in half into a subfile and reuse it twice. See for example:

Willy, Thank you very much for your advice and I'll try it.
As filling the uncolored area was a little difficult, I wondered how to make it smarter.
I've understood that long stretched triangles are not desirable.

By the way, the part number "3010pb018" is not common with LDraw numbering scheme, thus will it be re-numbered as "3010p**" when I submit this parts to PT?
