I plan on taking the entire library site down for extended maintenance sometime this weekend. I need to clean up the cruft left over from development and streamline some processes hogging up server memory. Depending on how it goes this could last as little as a few hours or, worse case, both days.

I will update this post if the plan changes.

Hello, my name is Dongjin Choi and I am using ldcad in Korea. I want to ask about how to make stickers. I am making a sticker that is not detailed by making a lot of dots on 'Ld Pattern Creator' with the image I received from Google. Is there a way to scan a bitmap image with a dat file? How do other people make amazingly detailed stickers? I would really appreciate it if you could let me know. I request the set number 10299 sticker and how do I make it like the set number 10273 sticker? I have an image.

Hello as described above, I want to view the ldraw database in blender, to model there. I have followed this guide for the add-on:

https://github.com/cuddlyogre/ImportLDraw

However, if I import a model from the ldraw parts library, parts only show half or arent even visible! I am on Blender Version 
3.1.2

I have included two images, where you can see the problems I have in Blender...
Image one is what I get when I import the car.ldr in the models folder,
   


the second picture is for part number 3005
   

regards
Raffael

Hey,

this release will provide four small improvements.



As always, you can download LDPE from this page:

With this release you will be able to...

• ...benefit from a new Rectifier default setting (it will not convert quad to rect when the quad has adjacent condlines by default (results in smoother surfaces)).
  
• ...use the "Copy" command on the icon bar at the bottom of the tab, mirrored from the contextual of the "Problems" tab
  
• ...have a single background bounding rectangle for the whole string (txt2dat).
  
• ...use an alternative option to not have a background but only the characters themselves (txt2dat).

Hi all,

Can someone identfy this head, hair and torso?
The head has a stubble beard.

It is a somewhat vague images, screenshot from the LEGO Bricktales game.

Is it original and existing?
If so, are they in LDraw?

Hello! I'm new to these forums, so sorry if this is the wrong place. I'm working on code to load ldraw files and noticed that not all parts seem to use valid utf8. The file "LDraw\parts\s\2902s01.dat" contains comment lines that don't decode properly as utf8 in programming languages like Python or Rust due to a missing continuation byte. The comment renders in some editors as "0 Cran creus�". I would expect the e with an accent to be C3A9 in hex, but the file is only using the single byte E9. The entire phrase appears in the file as 3020 4372616E 20637265 7573E9. LDView displays the text just fine as "0 Cran creusé". Is this part valid? Should programs match the behavior of LDView?

Hello, could someone have a look if part 37681 is available from instructions app and share it here?

This hair piece for the elves can be used in Stud.io if downloaded from this page, but its design is not complete: the ears must be colored light nougat, so when used in Stud.io, the change of color affects only the hair. Would it be possible for someone to adapt this detail of the piece? I would greatly appreciate the help.

The parts list and search were designed in an era when there were hundreds of parts and no thumbnails. Now with thousands of parts and images it bogs down page loading or is causing out of memory error especially the parts list or searches with a large amount of search results.

Does any have any persuasive opinions on why pagination should not be used?
