OK,
Official parts 2508, 2736, 3184, 3614, 3731, 4089, 6571, 6572, 6574, 6628, 41895 are now back at the PT.
But they don't use the new ball-primitive yet, because I have some issues with them.
1.)
Why do the 8-ball-prim have an extra section of 4-4cyli?
I can't use joint-8-ballb.dat in part 3614.
2.)
I don't like the looks of the "joint-8-socket-fricta.dat"-primitive.
The pictures of the new sockets I can find show something else than the current design.
It should have rounded, softer corners and the hole is also rounded and spherical, not square or semi-cylindrical.
I doubt that the current design allow correct sideways movement.
3.)
I don't like the extemly long file names.
As an active author working in LDDP I do most of my editing in a text editor, and don't want to type it all out every time.
Please consider a shorter name for these new primitives.
4.)
I don't like to remove the word Towball from the descriptions. It has been present for many years now and is established.
If it is removed, let's add it as a keyword.
I'll gladly use them, but let's all agree and discuss it here, before I start integrating them.
