Parts to be renamed?

[Gerald Lasser]

Dear Luke,



Adding to Willy's comment, which basically says it all, channel the energy to list the parts in question and contribute to a better library.

e.g. Technic Plate 11x19x1 is categorized/sorted as "Vehicle - Land" -- "Road Sign".

This is part 39369, please approach the Studio team to have them assign to a proper category instead of "Roadsign". The Studio Team changes parts numbers (especially printed parts) and categories, we do not have influence on this.

Other blatant errors exist. Example: In Stud.io there is a part called 41125 - "Horse Vet Trailer" which in truth is an 8 x 8 six bladed shuriken.

Also approach here the Sudio Team. This part (41125) is not in the LDraw Library. This is an interesting case where a Set Number and a Part Number exist, the Studio team has chosen the Set Name, interesting choice...

And while we're at it: I deeply understand how certain gestures are done to show respect, but when those gestures cause more confusion than clarity for the vast majority of users, then the initial goals of the founder are not respected at all... Banning prevalent spelling in favor of exotic obscure spelling, is imho not an effective way of remembering respectfully. After all, the memory will be associated with frustration and confusion. Not a way that I would want to be remembered. So maybe it is a good moment to reconsider the ways we remember the founder of this great initiative, implement them in a more constructive and pleasant way, and apply prevalence over rigidity onto the spelling rules. If you must, keep one or two very specific names, but at least add the normal spelling too. Only a tiny minority of users is privy to the inner secrets of the Australian typography. The rest of us ignorants has to rely on what normal spellcheckers teach us...

As mentioned before, you are very welcome to raise spelling mistakes and contribute to a better library.
