Hi all,

I want to add swimming cap in studio 2.0. I can find this part number (#99241) 

C:\Program Files\Studio 2.0\ldraw\UnOfficial\parts

However, it cannot be find in the studio (Main Parts).

Anyone can teach me how to access the unofficial parts.

Thanks

Considering following two reasons, I'd like to suggest reassigning pattern number pf* for Friends and Disney Princess, in addition to current "Fabuland and Scala".
1) Friends (2012-) and Disney Princess (2014-) are some of long-lived themes currently in catalogue but there are no pattern number range is assigned.
2) Fabuland and Scala were discontinued quite some time ago and almost all patterned parts have been authored, so it is likely that pattern number pf* remains empty for modern parts (87079 etc.)

The following is the final draft of the CAReadme.txt for the CC BY 4.0 conversion:
https://www.ldraw.org/draft-documents/ca...draft.html

This is being provided for comment and discussion prior to final implementation.

Assuming there are no show stoppers, I am targeting the 2023-01 (Mid January 2023) release for implementation. That release will have a complete re-release of the library will the 0 !LICENSE lines changed as appropriate.

For those who are curious, we're currently at about 64% of all parts and part edits that are 4.0 authorized. How that shakes out to % of parts that will be entirely 4.0 remains be determined. However, the library will never be completely 4.0 since at least 1 very prolific author has passed away and efforts to contact his estate have come to a dead end. Given the age of the library, I doubt this is the only case.

I have noticed that in some cases parts might fall apart when primitives being substituted in those with high-resolution versions. For preventing that from happening, I suggest including a meta command "NOSUBSTITUTE". What I intend, is that when put it before primitive of standard resolution, it would force that primitive to always be rendered as the standard resolution one, no matter the settings, similar to how 8\ and 48\ primitives behave, ensuring that part would appear normal no matter the settings. 

This command would be useful because it works with sphere primitices in a fine way, unlike ndis, which would only close mesh gaps, not make shape flow properly

Hi,

this release will add five small improvements and fixes one bug regarding the "Save As..." button.



As always, you can download LDPE from this page:

Changelog:

(5 new features and 1 bug fix)

With this release you will be able to...

• ...keep all files from the initial temporary project on application restart.

• ...copy hint/error/warning messages to the clipboard to paste it to the PartsTracker.

If complimentary conds are something we're going to hold vote then they need to be documented somewhere other than having to search the forums. My understanding was that they are nice to have but not required. Either way we need better documentation and I'm not the best person to write it.

I am trying to generate instructions for a model but LPub is only giving me the parts list and a picture of the model. There are no building steps. What am I doing wrong? Please help.

Hey, everyone. I’m new to adding custom textures to .DAT files from LDraw. I would like to know what programs are needed and a detailed tutorial on how to apply the decals.

I’m trying to apply custom faces into this subfile, but I want to learn how to do it.
