I created a model in software using 1X1plate I created a model in software using 1X1plate

Is there a way or a script (preferably a script..) to quickly convert or convert to 1x2 1x3 1x4 tiles

thanks

The 2022-04 LDraw Parts Update has been released. This update adds 631 new files to the core library, including 391 new parts and 20 new primitives.

Thanks are due to all the part authors who created or corrected parts for this release. The small, but dedicated, band of reviewers also play an important role in keeping files moving through the Parts Tracker and deserve just as much credit. This update wouldn't have been possible without their dedication and attention to detail.

You can preview the new parts in 2022-04 here, and download the zip-file update or Windows install package here. Alternatively you can use the LDView menu option File | Check for Library Updates... to install the update.

Here's a guide to numbering for the RCX modules for someone looking to create 1.5 and 2.0:

RCX 1.0 module:

76048: Complete Assembly
32109 (already made): Battery cover
32110: IR "glass" on the front
32116: The green, lower part where the batteries go
32058: The yellow, upper part without the clear plastic screen protector and unprinted
32058p01: 30258 with RCX 1.0 Pattern
32108: The clear plastic screen protector
76113: The yellow, upper part with the clear plastic screen protector
6554 (Already made): The electrical plates, plastic portion
75212: 6554 plus the metal electrical contacts
71748: The circuit board
71645: The gray/green button assembly and the black/red button assembly

Since the top of 884 (the full assembly) is hard coded yellow and I think that part should be color 16, we're going to obsolete 884 and create a new complete assembly with the correct number

RCX 1.5 module:

76454 or 76454c01: Complete Assembly
32109 (already made): Battery cover
32110: IR "glass" on the front
32116: The green, lower part where the batteries go
32374: The yellow, upper part without the clear plastic screen protector and unprinted
32374p01: 32058 with RCX 1.5 Pattern
32108: The clear plastic screen protector
32374p01c01: The yellow, upper part with the clear plastic screen protector (no number known, unlike 1.0)
6554 (Already made): The electrical plates, plastic portion
75212: 6554 plus the metal electrical contacts
?: The circuit board
71645: The gray/green button assembly and the black/red button assembly

RCX 2.0 module:

76454a or uXXXX or 76454c02 : Complete Assembly
32109 (already made): Battery cover
32110: IR "glass" on the front
32116: The green, lower part where the batteries go
32374: The yellow, upper part without the clear plastic screen protector and unprinted
32374p02: 32058 with RCX 2.0 Pattern
32108: The clear plastic screen protector
32374p02c01: The yellow, upper part with the clear plastic screen protector (no number known, unlike 1.0)
6554 (Already made): The electrical plates, plastic portion
75212: 6554 plus the metal electrical contacts
?: The circuit board
71645: The gray/green button assembly and the black/red button assembly

This post will be update as numbers are known.

By my reckoning, there are 3 major areas of concern for a library part:

• Part number or filename
  
• Geometry (including origin and orientation)
  
• Header, the most focused on aspect being description.
  

I've already received LSB concurrence for this but I realized that while it was discussion in another thread, it was never really discussed on it's own.

The following will be added to the Sticker Shortcuts section of the library spec
https://www.ldraw.org/article/512.html#s..._shortcuts

Quote:The description for sticker shortcuts should be in the following format:
<base part description> with <sticker description> Sticker

Where:
<base part description> is the base part description verbatim
<sticker description> is the sticker description after "Sticker <dimensions>|<shape>"

Example:
Base Part 11477: Slope Brick Curved 2 x 1
Sticker 6142622m: Sticker 1.9 x 0.8 with Black Headlamp on Yellow Background Right
Sticker Shortcut: Slope Brick Curved 2 x 1 with Black Headlamp on Yellow Background Right Sticker

3d preview is malfunctioning for subpart 64179s01 has some issues - buttons that switch view mode do not work

While modifying some stuff about part 50898, I have encountered a bit of a problem. There was a situation that required to use condlines with all points being on the same plane. It it okay? Or maybe there are some ways to work around such problems? If not use that condline at all, software like LDView gives off a pretty bad picture in terms of shading with edges appearing sharp when they clearly should be not that way

Hi all,

I'd like to suggest adding the keyword "cheese" (and/or "cheese slope") to 54200.
And all patterned versions of that piece.

Perhaps to 85984 too?

Thanks.

Jaco

Hi,
I'm new to this forum so forgive me if I'm doing something wrong.
I serched a tred that deal about my problem, but I didn't find enything.

So here is my problem. It's a week or so that LPUB doesn't show the PLI on each step.
It works on some and it doesen't on others, moreover, if I go back and forth in the pages, the PLI changes, even the BOM at the end of the file changes.

There is someone that can help me?

Thanks in advance


Ivan
