Hello,
This is my first ever post and if I am correct this is the right location for this request.
I'd like to make a red panda enclosure for my kids to play with.
However the part 106597pb01 doesn't show up in Studio.
I tried importing an lego set which should have it, but I get no suggestions for replacement.
I attached two screenshots.
Hopefully someone can make a model for it.
If you have any questions please let me know.
Download and install the latest LDPatternCreator release directly from sourceforge.net.
Any previous version should be uninstalled first. Your program configuration will be preserved.
Change log:
New features:
Define the width of a spline.
Pressing and holding the Ctrl key will rotate a vertex/triangle selection around its center (instead of the nearest vertex).
As always, I included a short readme.htm in the installation directory.
I'd like to request a 3D model for piece 50625: Large Figure Weapon, Sword Sir Jayko with Axle, dimension 14x4 studs.
It would make my day so much better.
The 2026-05 LDraw Parts Update has been released. This update adds 305 new files to the core library, including 200 new parts and 27 new primitives. As of this update, the LDraw.org Parts Library contains 16830 unique shapes or patterned parts.
Thanks are due to all the part authors who created or corrected parts for this release. The small, but dedicated, band of reviewers also play an important role in keeping files moving through the Parts Tracker and deserve just as much credit. This update wouldn't have been possible without their dedication and attention to detail.
You can preview the new parts in 2026-05 here, and download the zip-file update or Windows install package here.
Thank you to all the testers and parts authors who continue giving feedback on the PT software. This project would not be what it is without your help.
Note: This update has a couple of sticker and sticker shortcuts with very small gaps (<0.1 ldu, noticeable under very high zoom) due to adjustment of their underlying dependencies. This does not affect the usability of these parts in anyway and will be corrected in the next release.

The amount of colours available for Lego pieces can be overwhelming at times, so I thought I'll post this image to give people a better overview on what is currently on the official Lego palette with the according LDraw IDs:
Parts authors pick the correct colours for prints/stickers/dual-moulded parts
Model builders avoiding discontinued (hard to find) colours more easily
Some notes:
This is mostly speculative, not official. However most of it should be correct
"Pearlescent Metallic" refers to un-painted plastic with additives giving them a pearly-metallic look (do not use for prints!)
"Metallic Ink/Lacq" refers to a shiny paint coating on parts (but still more matte than chrome/vacuum-metallizing) or the ink used on prints/stickers. Both are considered the same by both Lego and LDraw
Some chrome elements (like the LotR One Ring) might still be active, but are usually no longer listed as active. Chrome is easily identified anyways, so I excluded those for now
"Glitter" is very transparent with big glittery flakes molded into the plastic; "Opalescent" is similar to Glitter, but the flakes are much smaller and have a much higher density, causing the base part to be more of a milky translucent rather than fully transparent. Rendering of these two effects varies heavily depending on program
I'm not that sure on status for the glitter/opal colours, but they seem to have been active within the last 3 years and felt it better to be inclusive here
Medium Blue (73) currently seems a bit "endangered" - only used in the Bluey theme in recent years
A Tribute to the Favorite Set of My Childhood
This is a modernized version of the LL918 Space Transport set, using only parts currently (as of Spring, 2026) available from LEGO Pick-a-Brick online. The main design principle was to retain (or even improve) the durability and playability of the original, using similar, simple building techniques. An additional design principle was to use general-purpose parts, allowing for many alternative builds and re-use in Space-themed builds, following the structure and the building sequence of the original as closely as practical.
The main differences with the original are the following:
In the absence of transparent yellow windshields and plates, a single transparent canopy is used.
The canopy is hinged laterally, opening backwards rather than sideways.
Due to different wing pieces, the entire model is two studs shorter than the original.
Instead of red, a golden minifigure is used.
Some gray parts (landing gear, main- and lifting thruster, cockpit bottom) are dark gray.
Some originally blue parts, most importantly the main thruster's bracket, are light gray.
Instead of a signle gray vertical tail fin, two blue fins made of slopes and bricks are used, due to part availability but also to improve on the most fragile part of the original.
Hey all,
I just wanted to let folks know that I am locking-down the parts included in my upcoming LEGO Parts Guide print edition. I have had good luck getting help filling in the gaps in the past by creating a fresh thread highlighting those parts which are missing. I'm also including links to the raw meshes where possible... I hope this makes it easier to port those parts into the official LDraw format!
There are three categories of missing parts:
1. New for 2026
2. Highest Priority Parts (2021-2025)
3. Common but lower priority (2021-2025)
I am most interested in the first two groups, because those parts represent real gaps in a guide to the most common parts - if the part isn't in the guide, people might not consider using the part when building MOCs.
New for 2026 - Rankings based on most common parts for sets released (so far) in 2026 alone. These are the 'freshest' parts so-to-speak.
#900 - Part 7776 - Wave / Lightning 5 x 6 with Axle Hole >> DAT NOT AVAILABLE
#1023 - Part 7207 - Wheel Arch, Mudguard 8 x 4 x 1 >> DAT NOT AVAILABLE
#1232 - Part 5805 - Wheel 8 x 7.2 with Pin Hole >> http://www.digital-bricks.de/en/file.php?part=5805
#1236 - Part 7840 - Headwear Accessory Hat with Small Pin, Stetson >> DAT NOT AVAILABLE
Highest Priority Parts (2021-2025) - These are both very common and very useful parts for MOC-building across a wide range of themes.
Thanks again for all of the hard work bringing these meshes into LDraw standard. I am impressed by the high-quality output when the part images are exported for use in my guide!
