  Torso Hospital Lab Coat with Stethoscope

Could someone please create the medic torso decal? Would really like to add it to my finished 4000041 Studio file.

  LDConfig.ldr and mlcad.ini download page wanted and menu entry on webpage
Posted by: Steffen - 2024-02-23, 22:52 - Forum: Website Suggestions/Requests/Discussion - No Replies

I don't know where to get the latest LDConfig.ldr except via the AIOI.

And the latest MLCad.ini I always need to find on Willy's Homepage.

That's a little awkwark I think.

Therefore: Suggestion: can we extend the "Library" menu on the LDraw.org page?

I am talking about this one:


.png   menu_suggestion.png (Size: 7.15 KB / Downloads: 26)

I would LOVE to see a menu entry "Supplemental Files" there which leads to a page
which allows me to download the latest LDConfig.ldr or mlcad.ini OR at least a link to where to get them.

It would be nice to get it finished Smile

  Introducing my LEGO Parts Guide, which is powered by images exported from LDraw.
Posted by: tom alphin - 2024-02-22, 6:50 - Forum: General LDraw.org Discussion - Replies (29)

A couple weeks ago, I asked about how to download the LDraw partlist so that I can include direct links to the LDraw website when people want to learn more about a specific part.

I am excited to announce that the initial release of my LEGO Parts Guide is live!

LINK: https://brickarchitect.com/parts/


What is the LEGO Parts Guide?
I aimed to create a well-organized, beautifully designed alternative to sites like Bricklink or Rebrickable when you just want to browse relatively common parts that are still being produced, without being bogged down in printed parts, extremely rare parts, or parts which retired two decades ago.


[Image: 2024-02-21-L3-Category-Joint-620x501.png]
Learn about each category with a text description and a gallery of LEGO parts.


I built this initial version with two audiences in mind:

  • Organizing your own collection — With just 13 top-level categories, it’s easy to get started in sorting your collection the Brick Architect way. As your collection continues to grow, sub-categories allow you to fine-tune your storage solution so you can find everything quickly.
  • Understanding how LEGO works — As you explore the categories and sub-categories, the title and description for each folder teaches you about the various connection types, complex geometries, and other skills you need to learn on your road to a Master Builder.


[Image: 2024-02-21-Part-Page-cropped-620x420.png]
Learn about each part on a dedicated page, with links to popular sites like Pick-a-Brick, Bricklink, Rebrickable, and LDraw to learn more.

This is also just the beginning — I’m eager to keep making this experience better by enhancing the page to learn more about each part, offering an easy way to print a LEGO Brick Label for a specific part, and adding more parts to the guide.


Right Now: Feedback Welcome!
This is one of the most knowledgeable and experienced communities of LEGO Parts Experts, so I would LOVE to hear your feedback on the experience I've built so far!  What would you like to see me change or add to make this a lot more valuable?




Looking Forward: Partnering well with the LDraw Community?
One experience that I have not built yet but will be building soon is a way to re-calculate the 'most common LEGO parts' on a daily basis. (My previous analysis was very slow to calculate, and I only updated it once or twice a year.)

The problem with a closer-to-realtime LEGO Parts Database is that I will run into more instances where an increasingly popular part doesn't have a 3d model in LDraw yet.  Because having a beautiful gallery of part images that are in a consistent style is a requirement for my site, I was wondering if it would be possible to automate the process of requesting new parts in LDraw?

For example: I could create a script that generates a csv containing a list of parts that are in the top 2000 most common LEGO parts, but are not available in LDraw yet.

Thoughts?  How can we collaborate better going forward?


Sincerely,
—Tom Alphin / brickarchitect.com

  Rugby Ball is on digital bricks but no-where else
Posted by: Richard - 2024-02-21, 3:20 - Forum: Part Requests - No Replies

Seams to be only in 1 minifigure series, just pointing it out since it seams like interesting piece that could be used as detail and important in the sports side of things.

  Official subparts 2431ps3a/b
Posted by: Vincent Messenet - 2024-02-20, 20:04 - Forum: Parts Tracker Discussion - No Replies

I came across 2431ps3a.dat and 2431ps3b.dat, both official subfiles but unused since 2431ps3 was updated by including those subfiles.

Shouldn't they become obsolete?

  correct part numbers of Duplo car shortcuts
Posted by: Steffen - 2024-02-20, 15:40 - Forum: Parts Authoring - Replies (9)

Hi friends,

I would like to suggest the following renumbering correction of these official files:

parts/14639p01.dat -> parts/14639c01.dat
parts/14639p02.dat -> parts/14639c02.dat
parts/14639p03.dat -> parts/14639c03.dat
parts/14639p04.dat -> parts/14639c04.dat
parts/14639p05.dat -> parts/14639c05.dat
parts/14639p06.dat -> parts/14639c06.dat
parts/14639p07.dat -> parts/14639c07.dat

plus this unofficial one:

parts/14639p08.dat -> parts/14639c08.dat

The reason is:
all these ....p...dat files are NOT patterned (that's what the "p" stands for).

Instead, they all are different assemblies (shortcuts) of
- a duplo car base
- with 4 wheels

The shortcuts differ in the color of the wheels.

I think by releasing the files with the "p" instead of the "c" we wrongly applied our part numbering rules.

  PT Library redirection
Posted by: Vincent Messenet - 2024-02-19, 11:17 - Forum: Website Suggestions/Requests/Discussion - Replies (1)

Hi, I just noticed that the link within "Recent parts submitted to the Parts Tracker" on Home page still redirect to the old PT and thus provide a 403 error page

  new Aircraft parts: 5118, 5122
Posted by: Franklin W. Cain - 2024-02-19, 3:00 - Forum: Part Requests - Replies (15)

These two Aircraft parts were released just this year. 

5118
Aircraft Fuselage Middle Bottom 8 x 8 with 4 Holes and 4 Pin Holes
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/cat...8#T=C&C=11

5122
Aircraft Fuselage Forward Bottom Curved 6 x 10 with 3 Holes and 2 Pin Holes
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/cat...2#T=C&C=11

I have not been able to find any preliminary / unofficial LDraw versions of these two parts. For the time being, I have had to make (very) crude mock-ups for these two parts. 

Thanks, 
Franklin
