After discussion with our "numbers" admin, this zero should be omitted. While he is unsure of the prior precedent, he's fairly certain this has occurred before. Additionally, electronic info for the part is stored by LEGO without the zero. If there is a conflict with an existing number then we can revisit this issue.

Should all the parts that use Swiss 720 font be required to use the handful of primitives we have already added to the library (before we decided that doing so wasn't desired)? I thought we settled this debate as "No" but the issue has cropped up again.

My stance is that it is at the option of the author and lack of use does not constitute a "Hold". This will be the official guidance on the matter unless consensus takes us in a different direction.

Can someone explain to me why this is a "Brick" and not a "Slope" (also 79756 and 49307)?

Hi,

another month, another LDPE release.



As always, you can download LDPE from this page:

• ...benefit from the fact that linked inlining will happen in the folder the current file was saved in (except for project files).
  

1. Rare error while creating a subfile from 3D selection.
   
2. "Show selection in 3D view" selected vertices from non-subfile surfaces and lines.

Hi

I have for a while now moved away from original LEGO Train tracks as the turns er too narrow for my larger steam trains.
Therefor i would very much like some om trixbrix parts to be made in ldraw, so i can do instructions with them.
In partucular i would like their R104 switch both left and right.
If possible also their ballast part that goes with the above switches.

Last I would also like to have made their double crossover R104
Also here if possible including their ballast part for this crossover.

Thanks

The parts near the top of the list of the oldest parts on the tracker is lousy with train track parts:

I think it's past time we come together and get these off the tracker.

These Bionicle parts aren't Contraction but they are not Technic either? I'm inclined to have them in the Minifig category family.
Thoughts?

An updated version of the LDraw All-In-One-Installer, in short AIOI, containing the LDraw Parts Library update 2022-03 with 563 new files (including 328 new parts and 18 new primitives) has been released.

The AIOI supports Windows XP (Home and Pro), Windows Vista or higher (all versions). There are two installer files available: Use the 64 Bit AIOI to install all the main 64 Bit programs, while the older 32 Bit programs are offered in a separated .exe file. Please note that only the 64 Bit version contains the LDraw Parts Library. If you want to use the 32 Bit programs it is mandatory that the library has been installed previously. The Installer will NOT run on Windows 95, 98, ME, NT Ver 4, 2000, or XP below SP2.

It contains the following changes:

* Update to Parts Library 2022-03
* Update to MLCad.ini 2022-03
* Update to Offline Parts Catalog 2022-03

You can download the AIOI from:

Many thanks to all the programmers who contributed to this release.
