Since I have a need to set deadlines for myself, the live date for the new PT will be February 1st. If that is missed, I'll resume normal PT ops (including the 2023-01 release) until March and try again.

Please vote on replacing the second paragraph of the overlaps section of the "LDraw.org Official Parts Library Specifications" document with the following:

Quote:All or part of a conditional line (line type 5) may not overlap all or part of any other conditional line (line type 5), with the exception of complementary conditional lines for curved primitives. Complementary conditional lines are placed at the end of curved primitives where those curved primitives may join with either a continuation of the curve, or with other geometry. In this case, the control points that are off of the edge of the curved primitive are placed so they are tangent to the curve.

If two such curves are placed next to each other (for example to turn a quarter cylinder into a half cylinder), the conditional lines on the edge of each primitive will overlap exactly, and their control points will complement each other such that at most one will be rendered at any given time, and one of the two will always be rendered when appropriate. When other geometry is placed against such a curved primitive, nothing needs to be done if the geometry is tangent to the curve. If it is sloped further, then a complementary conditional line will be placed on the edge of that geometry, with the control points past the edge of the geometry configured to be tangent to the curve, and the two end points of the conditional placed to exactly overlap the complementary conditional line on the edge of the curved primitive.

Example:

The first and last conditional lines in a cyli primitive have a control point that is tangent to the cylinder. When two such cyli primitives join, the two conditional lines complement each other, like so:

   

I'm pausing admin submissions (official part fixes, aliases, moved to's) until the new PT software is in place (hopefully the first week of February). If it looks like the new software won't be implemented before the 2023-01 release, I'll reevaluate this decision.

Hi, 

Does the pin and connector from the new animals exist in Ldraw?

https://rebrickable.com/parts/77071/anim...h-8-studs/

It's on the elephant and dinosaurs for example. 

Wasn't able to find it

Thanks in advance

Hi folks,

I just updated the MLCad.ini file accordingly to the latest LDraw.org parts update 2022-06. The .ini file defines (among other things) the parts available in MLCad's, LEOCad's and Bricksmith's minifigure generator.

Download the file from my website: http://www.holly-wood.it/mlcad/mlcad_ini-en.html

Bye, w.

L.S,

On the parts tracker looking at Unofficial File parts/4809.dat, there's no Required (unofficial) subfile mentioned. But the part uses s\4247as02.dat
I got it resolved myself but I thought I'd mention it.

Cheers,

Leon

ps. The subfile is present in the ldrawunf.zip so when you download the bulk it's no problem and you'd probably won't even notice.

Hello everyone!
In Studio, part 38801 is missing.
Could it be accomplished?
Greetings!

Hello, I can see the "parts tracker discussion" sub forum but when I went to reply to a thread, I was given a dialog that indicates I dont have permission to reply. 

I was trying to view the new parts tracker beta and received a Server 500 Error. 

I further tested it and I cannot reply to that thread or any other in the Parts Tracker Discussion area.

Hi all,

In this thread on the Studio forum, people are annoyed that one can’t make in-system/stud-aligned parallel tracks with those parts in Studio.

As there’s (still) problems with the 12V tracks connectors, I thought it was also a connection problem, and the devs tried to correct the connectors… but it’s actually the geometry that leads to the mis-alignement (and it can’t be cheated by moving the connectors).

There’s also comments/questionnings in the tracker (lastly from Steffen) about the accuracy of the geometry.

So,—and all this is just for info, I’m certainly not demanding anything—, can these parts make in-system/stud-aligned parallel tracks in real life?  And is someone working on them or thinking about it?
