Official Part Fix Submission


RE: Official Part Fix Submission

Currently the PT submit page still displays:

"To submit a fix for an existing file, email the file to [email protected], and it will be manually posted to the tracker."

Anyways, what should I take care for, when uploading an Official Part Fix?

I planned to do the patterns for part 6214 (https://library.ldraw.org/official/11212), which currently is a single file only. Comparing to similar parts, the main geometry usually gets put in a sub-file (missing the front face) and the pattern or plain front gets defined in the main file.
Whilst changing it to a subfiled structure test-wise, I also found 2 odd edge lines, which probably can be avoided.
Oh, and whilst I am at it, I could also add the missing inner tube supports this part has (6213 has them modelled in). Thoughts?

Assuming I would upload a new version of this part, a few questions arise:

1) Parts Author: Who becomes the author of the new subpart (it's like 80-90% data copied from the original file)?
2) History: Shall I leave this untouched or shall I describe my edits here? Does the sub-part get History lines upon first upload (copied from base part) or will these be empty?
3) In the Submit Form, shall the "Replace existing file(s)" be checked or not?
