RE: 3 - Flexible parts that need segment changes

The idea is to keep scaling factor "low enough" since fake seam sizes are scaled by the same amount. For a plausible gap of 0.25 ldu, a 400% scaling gives a 1 ldu gap, something easily accounted for by segment overlaps. And hopefully this will be corrected. One day. Or another.
Quote:Also, I just figured out that for the flex axle, you don't actually have to change the donor part at all, because all of the LDCad donor parts are just references to regular library parts. You can just select "static references", and then either check "inline donor references", or leave it unchecked and just copy the LDCad donor files into Studio's custom parts directory.
Yes, that's a possibility. The benefit of using LDraw segments is that they are already in Studio library.
