Hello everyone,

I need to place a disc+ndis primitive on a 3626b head.

I tried doing this by Add Primitive [F7] > LDraw Primitive > Circular Disc Sector > 4-4disc.dat

The 'Set primitive origin' dialogue appears and I can select some point (the disc's midpoint I assume?) but as soon as I click, the dialogue disappears and nothing happens at all.

I tried to reset my LDraw path, reinstalled the latest version (1.7.3), but nothing changes.

Forum and Google search yielded no answer, but the implication that you can place primitives in that way (?).

What am I doing wrong?

I'm currently building the Viking Village model (set 21343) so I created the template for 2630 flexible cable with bar segments. Attached below, as well as LDCad connectivity files needed to attach things to the cable.
The unofficial parts are available here: https://library.ldraw.org/search/part?s=2630+cable

Hi,

I love creating digital Lego sets and this site is an excellent resource for that. Huge thanks to all the contributors 

I know there are still models missing from the OMR and I would like to help fill those gaps. The problem I have is that i only have experience with stud.io. 

I am happy to learn how to use another program but which one is the best to use in relation to getting the best models for OMR?

Is there a getting started tutorial?

Just looking for tips and best practices really. I normally just use stud.io to import an official Lego set, then save as .io and render it.

Thanks in advance, keen to get started 
Andy

I'm planning on releasing an update this weekend so get your reviews in.

This will probably be a thin update for new parts and it will have a lot of primitive updates.

there was a long discussion in:
https://library.ldraw.org/tracker/34081 (please dont release it yet)
why the stud logo was missing...

I checked all the electric parts I have: they all have the electric contact in the upper right corner, even if the logo is then turned relative to all other normal stud logos.

Is there a way to include the logo here too?

I am trying to figure out how to take Lego model files and get a list of all parts and how they connect.  Ideally, I would get something akin to an edge list (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edge_list) so I can make a design structure matrix (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_structure_matrix) showing how each part connects the others. 

I have been looking at stuff, and the files appear to just store each part at a location and the programs state whether they collide or connect. I see that a lot of that information is kept in binary form, or lists the relative location of each connection part (such as stud2). 

I am lost as to where to start. Worst case, I would have to do a giant for loop thing to check each part, the location of each other, and if it connects and how. That sounds computationally impossible for larger sets.

If you have any recommendations, please let me know.

If you're curious, this is one that I did manually. It is set 8045: the mini telehandler. You can see parts of the lift part and the fork.

Request

LDView's unofficial parts downloading is once again broken due to the http URLs being redirected to https. For example, I debugged an attempt to download the following URL in LDView:

Hey, I wanted to request the parts for every minifigure from 71030 Looney Tunes CMF Series. All you have in the LDraw database is the short legs for Tweety Bird and Speedy Gonzales.

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemInv...ItemType=S


It would be appreciated if you added the headpieces, the torsos and the other 10 Looney Tunes characters' legs to the database as well, but please feel free to take your time with it. I won't rush you. ;D

Might as well make a thread about my work on the Muppets series. Next up is Fozzie. Anyone own this and can tell me if it's a dual mold between the brown? Or is it triple mold with pink nose as well?
