I was browsing forums and clicked on a part I found. It said 500 Server Error. I also tried accessing the part tracker directly from the website but again it said 500 Server Error. Does anyone know why?

Greetings!

Requesting these parts commonly used in any sets of the Mars Mission theme:

58844 Torso/Head Martian With Chest Hole

58845 Leg Martian Rounded

59492 Projectile Launcher, Foam Dart Launcher, Four Barrel

58947 Cylinder 9x4x2 Tapered with Flat bottom, Pinholes / "Tube End"

58843 Martian Hypersled with Pin (Mars Mission)

62723 Torso/Head Martian With Chest Hole, Alien Commander (don't know if that's its exact number)

62724 Arm/Leg Mechanical, Alien



It seems the first four parts listed are available as a raw LCad 3D model, which I needed most for the moment. The other parts aren't even in the digital-bricks list though. If anyone knows any place where I can at least find their 3D models it'd be most appreciated.


I am currently working on a project about the 2007-2008 theme Mars Mission. Building the Models for later use in Blender has been done with Bricklink's Stud.io 2 so far when I have learned that a lot of iconic Mars Mission parts where missing in their library. It's weird how these parts are nonexistent in any part libraries I have found so far. Then after some research I found out that it's technically you guys running the entirety of digital LEGO building with your parts library. No matter if some Mars Mission parts are missing: Thank you, you're awesome.

I have been made aware that some people are having trouble accessing the Parts Tracker with every link giving a 500 error. If this is that case for you, try deleting any ldraw.org cookies stored in you browser and try again.

There's some sort of problem going on with the script that checks if you're logged into the forums. I can see the errors in the log but it works for most users so I'm having trouble finding the source of the issue.

Where can I find this one? There seems to be some kind of digital version?

Per the LDraw.org Bylaws at http://www.ldraw.org/article/268.html, Subsection
6.03(a), the 2022/2023 Steering Committee hereby calls for the community to
nominate individuals as candidates for the 2023/2024 Steering Committee[1].

Please post nominations in response to this message. Nominations will only be
recognized if they are in response to this message.

Per ss.6.03(a), you must specify the name of the person you are nominating,
along with your name. Another member of the community must second the nomination
in a reply, and the nominee must publicly accept the nomination in the same
channel (direct reply to the nomination or second) in order to be valid. If the
nominee does not accept, it will be assumed that he or she has declined, and
they will not be placed on the ballot.

Nominations will close at 11:59 PM GMT on 28 February 2023. This means that to
be listed on the ballot, a candidate must have been nominated, seconded and must

The Steering Committee will give sufficient notice of the election and election
procedures per ss.6.03(b).

NOTE: subsection 6.03(b) states that elections should take place before March 1.
We interpret this to mean that we will commence the election on March 1, but
since it is electronic, it will run for 2 weeks, just as last time. The exact
time and date of start and end will be announced sometime very close to (but
after) 0000 GMT March 1.

Again, thanks to all of you for your commitment to the goals of the
organization, and in working with us this year. Please, stay involved with
LDraw.org and keep it moving forward!

Today's the day!

The new Parts Tracker is online and active here:
https://library.ldraw.org/tracker

As with all new software launches, there will be issues and blips. Please be patient over the next few days as I work to clean up the dust and sand off the rough edges.

Additionally, the new !LICENSE line is now in effect. This should be managed by the software but note that it has changed.

Important:
- Bugs, improvement items, etc should be report on the GitHub project:
https://github.com/ldraw-org/ldraworg-library
- If you get a 500 error or a permission denied error please report the URL.

Note:
Redirects and other notices on the old PT will be implemented over the next few days.

I was trying to create a custom sloped brick in Studio, and I wanted to get a Collada mesh so I could render it properly with the bumpy slope texture. I used Studio's own Collada exporter, but as you can see I got some wrong results.
   
On the left is a normal slope brick; on the right is my custom subpart. You can see that it's Z-up rather than Y-up, so I guess the export is set for Blender, and it may also be inside-out. The sloped surface itself is oriented correctly because it's the same one Studio uses; only the subpart is different.

There are export settings for both winding and handedness that I could mess with, but I wonder if there's a quick way to just swap the axes? Or a better way to get the Collada mesh of an LDraw part than going through Studio?

Hi,

I'm looking for some help with the Spacebaby from series 24. It looks like neither of the parts (head: 100662pb01, body: 25128pb010) exist yet. I'm working on a project centered on the Spacebaby concept, and I'd like to be able to include them in my renders.

Thank you in advance to anyone who's able to tackle this. You are amazing. I should have registered here years ago to thank you all for the amazing work you've done.

Josh

Our we host will be updating our server OS. Last time this happened some PT processes were broken and had to be updated. As a precaution the PT has been locked until I'm informed the upgrade is complete and I can test the impact.

If this stretches past tomorrow, the planned PT update will still happen as scheduled as the new software resides on a separate server.
