help to understand making process

[Willy Tschager]

   

* There is a remnant edge from the previous mess, which has to be converted to a cond.
* There are vertices which should be merged with the top or bottom vertices of the sloped area.
* On the left leg the vertex in the middle should be deleted altogether and the area rebuild with triangles.

* You've deleted the unmatched edges which correctly don't belong there, but the void has to be filled with two conds. Instead of re-running Edger you're gonna add them manually.
* "Create a new conditional line ..."
* Select the vertices exactly in the shown order and try to understand how conds work. The basics are here:

Finally the beauty pass:

1. Select everything in the Text Editor but he header and "Round"

The specs are here: https://www.ldraw.org/article/512.html#precision

Hold the CTRL key and click the rounding icon to see your settings.

2. Sorting is up to you. I at least try to structure my part in a logical :-D order. Lines, prims, triangles and quads, conds last

3. HISTORY also belongs to the main file and should be deleted.

4. Delete the sub refs as they go to the main file and don't belong here.

* Check everything twice, fix your header, de-color once more. Save.

   

* Open your main file and insert all subs. Documenting them is a nice gesture for the reviewer.

* Before you save run Edger once again. (Edger is your friend - always). If it fines some conds in the middle it is fine. If some unmatched edges are found as well you've got a problem and have to back to the subs.

The kitten is ready for submission? Almost. You will check it's visual quality in LDView and the code in DatHeader.
