There are a number of parts on the Part Tracker, and perhaps also some offical, that should be adapted and become Part Flexible_Section.
Like the Technic Ribbed Hose, 71944 It's made of sections that make it bendable; 71944k01 and 71944k02.
But some of the sub-Parts might need some editing.  Let us start with these 2 parts that also need renumbering, 572c01 and 572c02

   
   

There are 5 sub-Parts that could be renumbered and use the k0X-suffix, but 2 of them (d and e) are not used in any parts.
Are they used and useful in LSynth? I don't know.  Steffen has a long lasting Hold vote on them.

Should we standardize them so that they are suitable for LSynth? How?
How should a Flex_section be made to be useful in LDCad?

Hey
I have a small problem - when I use, for example, the color reddish brown (70,p), there is a white edge line, is it possible to change it in the configuration so that it becomes black?

Many thanks in advance - dkd

I've always been unsatisfied with the "Uncertified Subparts" status. It hides parts that have certify votes  from admin review. 

A possible solution to this is to get rid of the "Uncertified subparts" status entirely. This will required a change in the logic for "Certified" to take subpart status into account. If a part is certified but not releaseable due to subparts needing certification it's status could be "Certified, not Releaseable". Then then "Awaiting admin review" and "Needs more votes" status logic could be changed to ignore subpart status.

Thoughts?

Hi all,

Since we now have a 1x5 plate, can we please add keyword "plate 1x5" to
- 2711 Technic rotor 2 blade with 2 studs
- 32124 Technic rotor 2 blade with 4 studs

I always thought of 2711 more like i.e. 4262 Technic Plate 1x6 with Holes, so 2711 to me is more like "Technic plate 1x5 with Holes and Center Axle Hole"

Regarding 32124 is more often used as a plate that a rotor, to achieve an odd length or width or span 5 studs instead of using a 1x2 and 1x3 nowadays.

Bricklinks description of 32124 is "Technic, Plate 1 x 5 with Smooth Ends, 4 Studs and Center Axle Hole", which is IMHO a better description.
Though without "Technic" and also LDaw tends to use Round instead of Smooth here, like in 35480 (Plate 1x2 with Round Ends)

I suggest to rename 32124 to "Plate 1 x 5 with Round Ends, 4 Studs and Center Axle Hole"

Or is this a too wild idea?

Any thoughts?

Hello! I was just wondering, is there any way to preserve Edge Lines Thickness while taking a snapshot? I can change the thickness to view the model but once I do a snapshot, the image is produced with thin edge lines and not with the thickness selected in Geometry tab on the preferences.

Ever want to know what parts would be included in the next update if it were released today?

There's now a page for that:
https://library.ldraw.org/tracker/next-release

Also accessible via the "Tools" menu.

Hi,

Quick question, doesn't matter so much if it isn't possible I guess but,

Is it possible to add a comment on the same line as a file reference in LDRAW but always after the file name?

I tried:

I've added a check before the submit form to see if a user has affirmed the new CA. I'm working on updating the accounts of who has sent me a message since we changed it last year but I haven't finished inputting everyone. Assuming I haven't updated you, you may see a screen asking you to affirm the new CA. Once you click "Affirm" your account will be updated and you'll never that screen again.

Hi,

this release adds hints when using the scientific number format.
It corrects a 3D manipulator bug and five other issues.
The download of data from library.ldraw.org works now!



As always, you can download LDPE from this page:

http://nilsschmidt1337.github.io/ldparteditor/

Changelog:

(1 new feature and 6 bug fixes)

With this release you will be able to...

• ...see a hint on numbers with scientific notation (you can also "quick fix" these numbers).
  

1. The 3D manipulator orientation got polluted.
   
2. LDPE was not able to download from library.ldraw.org
   
3. The tabs in the 3D editor couldn't be moved around. The text editor was not affected.
   
4. SymSplitter cutted with data from subfiles too, in addition to the cutting plane (see images on https://github.com/nilsschmidt1337/ldpar...issues/959 )
   
5. Intersector calculated sometimes wrong results with some triangles missing.
   
6. It was not possible to do a "copy + transform" action on MacOS X with the cursor keys (see https://github.com/nilsschmidt1337/ldpar...issues/958 ).
