Hello,

I'm in need of some help with adding a sticker to my MOC model. I've created a simple text sticker that I want to add to a 1 x 4 brick using LDraw format. But the problem is, I'm not sure how to test it out since I'm not familiar with adding custom stickers to the LDraw folder.

Jut to add some info, I'm using LeoCad to create the model and LPub3D to create the instructions. Additionally, I've actually created the LDraw code for the stickerĀ  on a .dat file called "time.dat". Oh, and I'm using Ubuntu 18.04 as my operating system.

So, I was wondering if anyone could give me some instructions on how to add my awesome sticker to the LDraw folder. I would really appreciate your help!

Thanks in advance!

Cheers,
  • Create a folder called "unofficial" in your LDraw directory.
  • Place your sticker's .dat file in the "unofficial" folder.
  • Open LPub3D and go to the "Preferences" dialog box.
  • In the "Libraries" section, click on the "Unofficial Parts" tab.
  • Click on the "Add" button and select the "unofficial" folder that you created in step 1.
  • Your sticker should now be available in LPub3D.
