Per the LDraw.org Bylaws at http://www.ldraw.org/article/268.html, Subsection
6.03(a), the 2021/2022 Steering Committee hereby calls for the community to
nominate individuals as candidates for the 2022/2023 Steering Committee[1].

Please post nominations in response to this message. Nominations will only be
recognized if they are in response to this message.

Per ss.6.03(a), you must specify the name of the person you are nominating,
along with your name. Another member of the community must second the nomination
in a reply, and the nominee must publicly accept the nomination in the same
channel (direct reply to the nomination or second) in order to be valid. If the
nominee does not accept, it will be assumed that he or she has declined, and
they will not be placed on the ballot.

Nominations will close at 11:59 PM GMT on 28 February 2022. This means that to
be listed on the ballot, a candidate must have been nominated, seconded and must
have formally stated acceptance by that time.

The Steering Committee will give sufficient notice of the election and election
procedures per ss.6.03(b).

NOTE: subsection 6.03(b) states that elections should take place before March 1.
We interpret this to mean that we will commence the election on March 1, but
since it is electronic, it will run for 2 weeks, just as last time. The exact
time and date of start and end will be announced sometime very close to (but
after) 0000 GMT March 1.

Again, thanks to all of you for your commitment to the goals of the
organization, and in working with us this year. Please, stay involved with
LDraw.org and keep it moving forward!

when I download brick 78442 I get a strange file, maybe I do not understand the certificates or I am doing something wrong with the file?

A simple idea, perhaps (and for all I know someone's already done this), but what about a "place on ground" script that would calculate the lowest point of a model and place that at Y=0?

Better still, calculate the two lowest points—such as two wheels that are not quite in the same plane—and rotate the whole model so that they both rest at Y=0?

Since this topic seems to come up every once in while, I made a short tutorial (with pictures!) on how to add unofficial parts to LDCad

Hi,

Can I get part 86996 please, it appears in set 80108 Lunar New Year Traditions and is just two plates high. Except it has a bar hole which is useful.

Hi Roland,

is there an API call which returns the current editing plane? Something which perhaps returns a value of 1, 2 or 3?

By way of an example, when ctrl+R is pressed to open the Manual Rotation dialog, it knows the current editing plane to apply the rotation to. I'm wanting to modify the part alignment scripts to work based on the current rotation plane rather than making the user identify the X, Y or Z plane to be rotated around.

If an API call isn't available, can you guide me in the direction of a possible approach to try?

Thanks and regards,

David
