Since we had only 5 confirmed nominees, no election was necessary.

Therefore, the 2023/2024 LDraw.org Steering Committee [1] is:

Philippe Hurbain
Gerald Lasser
Orion Pobursky
Max Martin Richter
Willy Tschager

[1] Try not to confuse the LDraw.org Steering Committee (SteerCo) with the LDraw.org Standards Board (LSB). The Steering Committee sets the course for the LDraw Organization while the Standards Board deals with the LDraw File Format.

Congratulations to the reconfirmed members!

Hi folks,

I just updated the MLCad.ini file accordingly to the latest LDraw.org parts update 2023-01. The .ini file defines (among other things) the parts available in MLCad's, LEOCad's and Bricksmith's minifigure generator.

Download the file from my website: http://www.holly-wood.it/mlcad/mlcad_ini-en.html

Bye, w.

A minor thing that I've always been curious about:

Keywords are not allowed to contain words or phrases from the part or model description. So for the model of "Benny's Spaceship Spaceship Spaceship!!!" you could not have a keyword of "Benny" or "spaceship". Easy.

But what about the model for "Tokyo" (the Architecture skyline set) which includes the Tokyo Tower? Can the entire phrase "Tokyo Tower" appear as a keyword, or does it have to be just "Tower" since "Tokyo" already appears in the description? By itself, "Tower" might be too generic to be useful.

My feeling is that it's fine to just apply that weaselly concept of "common sense", but it's worth asking as some LDraw tools may need to distinguish the rule when evaluating file headers.

A suggestion would be to clarify that a !KEYWORDS term—a complete word or phrase—is not allowed if the same word or phrase appears exactly in the file description.

Hi all,

Is there any way to extract the models from the game LEGO Bricktales?
These worlds are wonderfull vignets and have nice builds.

I finished playing the game and I am working on various models from it.
Example: https://forums.ldraw.org/thread-26926.html

I also started building some of the worlds and level vignets, just for fun, but this is very intense.
It would be nice if you could extract builds form the game, just like with instructions and other LEGO 3D sources from the past.

Any help or advices is apprieciated.

Hi,

When I create a snapshot from the command line, like so:

<?php 

system('LDView64.exe "temp_3001-4.ldr" -SaveSnapshot="3001-4.png"'); 

<?php 

system('LDView64.exe -SaveZoomToFit=1 -SaveAlpha=1 -AutoCrop=1 -EdgeThickness=5 "temp_3001-4.ldr" -SaveSnapshot="3001-4.png"'); 

Hi I need help to learn on to draw the geek servo motor for lego Studio 2.0 . Thank You

I have noticed with the minifigure heads in the library that there seems to be errors with the patterned versions.
For example, minifigure heads 3626bp84 and 3626cp7g have the same pattern.
Minifigure head 3626cp84 has the same designation as the b variant, but a different pattern.
There are other cases of this type.
In my opinion, the designation of a pattern should be the same for the same or similar parts, that is, for example, for the minifigure heads, the pattern p84 is always the same, whether it is the a, b or c variant.
What is your opinion?

Greetings

Hello,

I have installed quite an old version of the All-In-One-Installer (2016-01). Two questions

1) Do I have to uninstall the old version prior to installing the new one?

2) Can I uninstall or update a single program e.g. LDView? The only option in "Apps and Features" is to uninstall the entire suite.

Hi everyone!


I wanted to make some stickers and printed pieces, a lot of them are missed. But the problem is that I can't find a clean tutorial *how* to use the programs. I need something step by step, for beginner. I can share the files of finished stickers, but first I need to know how to make them.


What I have from needed things:
- scanned sticker sheets in jpg (physical sheets too)
- LD Pattern Creator 1.7.3
- LDPartEditor 1.8.63
- all dat parts I need to put sticker on (included unofficials)


So where should I start from scanned stickers, and how to use both of these programs?


And bonus question - what is the best way to scan the print on curved part? Panel 89679pr0003 with Bugatti logo, included in set 42151
