hi

I'm looking for these part

http://www.brickset.com/parts/?part=4227282

I hope that someone will create these parts

thanks

As far as I can see we do not have the shape of this part in LDD. So it has to be build in old fashion. This may take a while if someone like to start this task. It is not a very common part!

I've been meaning to do this one, I guess I got an excuse to do that.

Now to find one of these in my part bins...

edit: found one, let's see here..

for fellow parts authors: I got this much done on this part and now am trying to put the base for the curve section:


Right now that's just 4 48/4-8edge.dat's. You guys got any better ideas on how to do this or is this my best bet? Curves like this still get me baffled from time to time.

If possible put this part on your scanner. So you get the curve better i think.

If you use primitive, please be sure to use the same circlepoint for each curve primitive.
This way I have done it on 32218.dat. A lot of try and error, but the result works great

I don't have a scanner so I just use a camera and try to get as perpendicular a picture as possible. It actually works well most of the time but it tends to leave my back hurting. It's also quite time consuming so I thought if there was some faster way to do it. I guess I'll experiment with the circles a bit more and if I can't do it that way, resort to the camera approach..

Indeed, I try first to fit a primitive, but it's not always possible... in that case, I take a photo and use LDPC - or I guess you could use your own LDForge

Try this.
