An edge always connects two points by a straight line. They are used to construct triangles. Edges are represented in 3D viewport in triangle and point modes as thin lines.

point

The most elementary part of a 3D model, also referred to as a "vertex", which is a single point in 3D space. Points are represented in the 3D viewport in point mode as small square buttons.

R

review

A review is the evaluation and assessment process done by volunteers from the LFS community and LFS developers to judge the quality, suitability, and adherence to guidelines of a submitted vehicle mod. The review process involves considerations such as copyright verification, appropriateness of the mod's name, suitability of content for LFS racers, overall quality, and adherence to specified regulations. The outcomes of the review can result in the publication of the mod, requests for changes, or rejection of publication.

S

Skin ID

A unique sequence of 6 alphanumeric characters that identifies a vehicle mod. It is generated automatically during the mod submission process.

subobject

A standalone 3D model belonging to a model of a vehicle mod in Modeller. It can be loaded or saved independently of the main object. There are several types of subobjects, such as steering wheel, internal mirror, brakes, mudguards, wings and other attachments.

T

triangle

The area between three points, with an edge on every side. It is the basic building block used to build the actual surface of a 3D object. They are what you see when you render the mesh. Triangles are edited in the triangle mode and created in the build mode.
