  Some help with part 5608 please
Posted by: Peter Grass - 2025-12-15, 4:02 - Forum: Parts Authoring - Replies (1)

I am giving it a go to convert part 5608 from the BI model to something acceptable for the tracker, but am having a couple of issues.

In BI it is made up of two parts, the flask and its liquid which is fine so I made 2 sub-models and they are appropriately coloured and it basically now looks like the image in the lego parts list (once you set it to transparent of course.)

[Image: Screenshot-2025-12-15-035129.png]

When ray-traced the liquid part doesn't really show up.  Plus it doesn't really look like the real world images of the part like this one:
[Image: Screenshot-2025-12-15-035410.png]

The other flask u9180c01.dat on the tracker has the outside of the flask coloured instead so is that the way to go or am I missing something?

I've attached what I have made so far as a zip file, obviously the file names are just temporary.

  Request for sticker scan for part 2362bpb26
Posted by: Matthew - 2025-12-08, 1:33 - Forum: Part Requests - Replies (3)

Hello!  So, I was just wondering if anybody has a scan of the decal for part 2362bpb26?  I'm trying to add the part to my custom parts in Stud.io, but I need a scan of the sticker to do it.  I'm not entirely sure how to get the Ldraw Part File for the associated sticker into Stud.io as a decal that can be applied in Stud.io Part Designer, so I just wanted to ask here if anybody has a scan of the sticker for part 2362bpb26, or a walk through on how to use the Ldraw file as a decal in Stud.io Part Designer.  Thanks, have a great day.  Rockatoa, Brickticks out!

Star [LDPE] 1.8.97 Released (snap for "vertex data" window/ hide+show shortcut/ bug-fixes)
Posted by: Nils Schmidt - 2025-12-07, 13:20 - Forum: Parts Author Tools - Replies (3)

Hey,

this release 1.8.97 includes a handful of little improvements.
The next release 1.8.98 will just update the Java version from 21 to 25 (LDPE runs on its own Java Virtual Machine, you don't need to install Java)


[Image: attachment.php?aid=12753]

As always, you can download LDPE from this page:

http://nilsschmidt1337.github.io/ldparteditor/

Changelog:

(3 new feature and 3 bug fixes)

With this release you will be able to...

  • ...use increments from the snapping configuration on the "vertex data" window.
  • ...use new shortcut keys for "Hide" and "Show" (Alt+H, Alt+S).
  • ...benefit from the fact that the "Save As..." button of PrimGen2 doesn't close the window, so that you can easily generate a family of similar primitives.

The following critical issues are fixed:

  1. "Merge to Nearest Vertex" merged a vertex to the origin (0|0|0) if no nearest vertex was found.
  2. It was impossible to use translation and scaling for type 1 lines when the file was not found.
  3. The duplicate check did not handle missing zeros.

The program was tested intensively with "real world" files.
However, something can go wrong in about 140.000 lines of code.

Installation on Windows:

  1. Download and extract LDPartEditor_win32_x64.zip
  2. Run LDPartEditor-1.8.97.msi
  3. Start LDPartEditor from the start menu
Installation on Linux:

  1. Download and extract LDPartEditor_linux_x64.zip
  2. Install ldparteditor_1.8.97-1_amd64.deb
  3. Start LDPartEditor from the menu or via launcher
Installation on Mac OS X:

  1. Download and extract LDPartEditor_mac_x64.zip
  2. Mount LDPartEditor-1.8.97.dmg
  3. Drag LDPartEditor.app to the Applications folder
  4. Copy ldparteditor.sh to your home folder
        4a. Open a Terminal.app and run ./ldparteditor.sh
        4b. Or open a Terminal.app and run /Applications/LDPartEditor.app/Contents/MacOS/LDPartEditor

I listen carefully to your requests and possible complaints. Please leave me a message, with your thoughts and wishes to further improve the software.

LDPE is a 3D CAD application: The overall system requirements are higher. While I recommend to use a powerful 64-bit multicore system, it could be possible, to run LDPE on older machines as well.

System Requirements:

Minimum System Requirements:
  • OpenGL 2.1 compatible Graphics Card
  • Operating System (64-bit): Windows [7 or newer], Linux [e.g. Ubuntu Linux >=14.4], Mac OS X [>=10.6]
  • CPU: Multicore-Processor e.g. Intel Core 2 Duo or AMD Athlon II (>2.0Ghz)
  • RAM: 4GB
  • Video-Memory: 1 GB
  • Free Disk Space: 150 MB
Recommended Requirements:
  • Operating System (64bit): Windows 7,8,10,11, Linux [e.g. Ubuntu Linux >=14.4], Mac OS X [>=10.6]
  • OpenGL 3.3 compatible Graphics Card
  • CPU: Multicore-Processor with 4 cores (or more)
  • RAM: >4 GB
  • Video-Memory: >1 GB
  • Free Disk Space: 500 MB
  • For a faster start, LDPartEditor and the LDraw™ library should be installed on an SSD.

  Dual Moulding and Vinyl Parts
Posted by: James Simpson - 2025-12-04, 18:12 - Forum: Part Requests - Replies (2)

This is more of a general request; but I don’t know how to add colour to moulds, or to create the vinyl parts for the likes of dragons wings. Can anyone offer tips or advice? Or if I post specific parts would someone be able to create them for me?

  I took a better photo of the stickers for 40768-1 - Star Trek: Type-15 Shuttlepod
Posted by: Peter Grass - 2025-12-03, 11:34 - Forum: Parts Authoring - Replies (2)

Just in case anyone ever wants to make the stickers for this set, I took a better photo than what is available online since they are either super low res or blurred.

All the stickers except sticker 11 have a transparent background.

  Request: Mark part as obsolete
Posted by: Manfred Schaefer - 2025-12-02, 21:45 - Forum: Parts Authoring - Replies (4)

Hello,

This concerns minifigure upper parts 76382p4v and 76382p4y.
Only the front of 76382p4v is printed.
Both sides of 76382p4y are printed.
According to the Bricklink reference, the same pattern pb0537 is used.
There is a separate torso for each minifigure upper part.
However, I have only found this minifigure upper part with a two-sided pattern.

My suggestion is to set torso 973p4v to obsolete and change the reference in 76382p4v to torso 973p4y.

Best regards,

Manfred
