Lua Features in Foldit

Thanks for band.GetLength(). Can we also have information on the start and end segments of a band? This is especially needed because if a band is placed by hand we don't know where it is.

There are two kinds of bands:

1) Bands that terminate at another segment
2) Bands that terminate at a point in space

Have to represent that in Lua using table structures. Furthermore, the current position is that foldit shouldn't give the XYZ coordinates of the endpoints of bands in space (it allows a kind of copying that isn't conducive to a fun game).

I was more interested in the position of bands between segments rather than those banding to space. A function that takes a band number and returns the segment numbers of boths ends would be useful.

I like the tone of this Forum.
Was this the last big Foldit upgrade?
I notice many functions that I use now were discussed here.
Having links to this and other nodes like it would be good for helping new folks
know what not to post Feedbacks about.
I wish I had found this Forum sooner.

Right now, I can only vote up or down on tlaloc's initial post.
Is this the same for everyone else?
I wonder if this Forum went so smoothly because folks couldn't vote up or down about things.
I wonder how much more pleasant the whole site would be without having anonymous down voting.
Might make the Feedbacks gauntlet more pleasant to navigate.
