Hey there, I have an issue regarding Part 68881 - 10 x 5 x 2.667 Semi Circle with Curved Top when it comes to decorating it in BrickLink PartDesigner.

   

I tried applying a Powerpuff Girl's face onto it, but her smile is missing its center. Is there any way you could update this part's surface to make decorating it more feasible?

There's a problem with thumbnail image generation. Troubleshooting is in progress and a fix should be pushed later today.

Is there a problem with the LEGO Set LDCad PBG Generator, can't get the new set numbers, only the "old" ones, or is it Rebrickable ?

dkd :-)

Hello, i try to undertand the process to make for now some easy target.
i start from the kitten baby raw file

i select the surface need a pattern and creat the subpart

When you say it's necessary to 'clean' the file, what exactly needs to be done?"

The texture map specification doesn't mention that the angles are in degrees. Perhaps it should.

This affects the textured parts 61287p01.dat,  61287p02.dat,  61287p03.dat,  61287p04.dat: "Cylinder Hemisphere  2 x  2 with Cutout" with textures

The textures for these parts show Mercator-like maps. The Mercator projection is an example of a CYLINDRICAL projection (See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercator_projection, which references https://archive.org/details/Snyder1987Ma...1/mode/2up).

But the part has defined a SPHERICAL texture map. This makes the lines of latitude curved instead of straight.

The fix is a one line change in each file, like so:

0 !TEXMAP START CYLINDRICAL 0 0 0 0 -46 0 -26 0 0 180 61287p01rb.png

replacing with the appropriate png file in each case.

I want to separate the axle primitives from the axle hole primitives, but some names are now confusing.

After the redesign of the axlehole primitive families there are now three primitives that are named axleholX but should only be used in axles. These are only used in different axle designs, but are named as if they are a primitive for an axle hole.

axlehol8.dat  "Technic Axle Hole Perimeter"

axlehol9.dat  "Technic Axle Hole Tooth Inner Edges"

axleho10.dat   "Technic Axle Hole Tooth Surface"




Is there a way to rename them, and perhaps prohibit them from being used in a design as a hole primitive?
Or would it be enough to only sort them on the prim ref page?


And as a side note, do we need a new primitive for an axle hole with open ends? I don't think we do.
 axl2hol8.dat
  
axl3hol8.dat
 

Note how the surfaces in the 3 axlXhol8 prims are oriented.
axlehol8 have the surface facing outwards, while the other 2 have it facing inwards, as a hole.

Something new I'm going to start doing is announce new authors and authors promoted to reviewer:
