New Draft (reduced requirements to quad stickers with standard rounded corners and formed stickers):
Sticker backing boxes
The backing box is defined as the sides and bottom surface of the sticker
For most stickers, the surface of the sticker is intended to be applied to an entire face
of a single part. In this case, the size of the sticker should be that the edge of the sticker is 2 ldu
from the edge of the part face. If actual, measured sticker size is +/- 1 ldu from this standard then
the sticker should be modeled to the standard. Exceptions to this rule will be handled on a case by case basis.
Flat Stickers
Quadrilateral:
The backing boxes for older, sharp cornered stickers should be modeled
with an appropriately scaled box5-12.
Newer stickers have rounded instead of sharp cut corners. The radius of standard rounded corners will be 1.5 LDU.
All stickers with standard rounded corners shall use a subfile located in the parts/s/ directory with the following
naming convention:
stickerback<WWW>x<HHH>.dat
Where:
<WWW> and <HHH> are a 3 digit numbers representing the width (for WWW) and height (for HHH) of the sticker. The value of this
number is LDU/20 rounded to the nearest tenth. A leading zeros will be added for a number less than 10. Example: if the width of the
sticker is 143 ldu, WWW is 072.
Circular:
Circular and oval shaped stickers should use an appropriately scaled 4-4cylc3
Irregular shape:
Irregular shapes should use quads and triangles with conditional lines where appropriate.
Formed Stickers
<part number>bNN.dat
Where
<part number> is the number of the part to which the sticker is formed
NN is a 2 digit number with leading zeros starting at 01
