LEGO PART 3040b Slope 45° 2 x 1 with Bottom Pin

Hahahahaha...awesome :)

I just come across these things as I input large bags of parts. I'll continue to tag if you feel it's helpful!

if it's alphabetical order they show up why is almost allways the printed version seperated from the none printed version when they both begin the same. Slope 45º 2 x 1 and Slope 45º 2 x 1 with * print. logically; the none printed version would be followed by all the printed one, if they are in the same catagory and not divided into printed/none printed categories

If I am not misstaken doesn't LDraw have generic pieces, you have to pick either, if there is two or more mold of a piece. 3040b might be the default choice, but that isn't the same as a generic choice. To make a good system that allow new features the generic part should be the part without a extension. or you will endup with a mess when trying to make new features like build independent of mold. ie you need to define which part that is the "generic" for each piece instead of having a generic solution that tells that the number part is the generic choice in all cases.

So I think you should display 3040a sets under 3040a instead of 0 sets. and 3040b as all new sets not containing 3040a. while 3040 is all sets containing either 3040a or 3040b. The part might be old so most people have only part 3040b, I have alot of both.

And you can start making your interchangable part rebrickable work. like the color, exactly,(use extensions) or close (ignore extension except for patterns), Ignore (ignore extension including patterns)
Some part mapping has to be done thought for it to work 100%.

it's one thing I think it's bad about rebrickable to treat old pieces as if they where second class bricks. That most of them end up in "other" catagory without images. Okay i can understand the images, you have to work from one end and focusing on new parts make sense.

I also think you need more categories. my inventory is getting unweilding already and I have alot of inventory to add.
