Ensure your steel base plate sits on a perfectly level surface. Even a minor tilt introduces gravity-induced lateral loads (P-Delta effects) that skew your results.
Always cross-reference the text with the photo. If the exercise calculates lateral drift or portal frame action under wind loads, it almost always requires a Fixed Base configuration to prevent immediate geometric instability. 3. Physical Limitations and Behavioral Calibrations
: Historical pieces often suffer from corrupted editing choices accumulated over generations of reprints. Errata lists act as a clean line back to original manuscripts.
If you discover a new error while working on a piece, share it with the MOLA community to keep the resource living and growing. Alternative Errata Sources
A turtle motif must have an uncracked, geometric shell. If the appliqué lines show a "crack" (deliberate or accidental) in the shell design, it symbolizes a fractured journey to the afterlife. These are frequently sold as "practice molas" but appear on every Errata List as culturally non-functional.
Noticeable defect but does not break the asset functionality. Minor texture stretching; slight texture seams. Logged and scheduled for the next iteration batch. Negligible cosmetic issues or optimization cleanups. Excessive polygon count on hidden geometry.
Pre-bent or fatigued elements alter the critical buckling load ( Pcrcap P sub c r end-sub
The QA team verifies the fix directly inside the project viewport or game engine. If successful, the item is marked as Closed . If the error persists, it is Reopened with new notes. 5. Best Practices for Maintaining the Mola Errata List
Without the MOLA database, a librarian would have to manually compare every single printed page against the conductor's full master score—a process taking dozens of hours per piece.
: Detailed instructions of what is printed versus what is correct. Example of an Errata Entry Breakdown
The errors arise from many sources:
If a librarian is preparing Manuel de Falla's The Three-Cornered Hat , an entry on the ledger might read:
Back-facing polygons that render as completely transparent or pitch-black.
