Today's the day!

The new Parts Tracker is online and active here:
https://library.ldraw.org/tracker

As with all new software launches, there will be issues and blips. Please be patient over the next few days as I work to clean up the dust and sand off the rough edges.

Additionally, the new !LICENSE line is now in effect. This should be managed by the software but note that it has changed.

Important:
- Bugs, improvement items, etc should be report on the GitHub project:
https://github.com/ldraw-org/ldraworg-library
- If you get a 500 error or a permission denied error please report the URL.

Note:
Redirects and other notices on the old PT will be implemented over the next few days.

I was trying to create a custom sloped brick in Studio, and I wanted to get a Collada mesh so I could render it properly with the bumpy slope texture. I used Studio's own Collada exporter, but as you can see I got some wrong results.
   
On the left is a normal slope brick; on the right is my custom subpart. You can see that it's Z-up rather than Y-up, so I guess the export is set for Blender, and it may also be inside-out. The sloped surface itself is oriented correctly because it's the same one Studio uses; only the subpart is different.

There are export settings for both winding and handedness that I could mess with, but I wonder if there's a quick way to just swap the axes? Or a better way to get the Collada mesh of an LDraw part than going through Studio?

Hi,

I'm looking for some help with the Spacebaby from series 24. It looks like neither of the parts (head: 100662pb01, body: 25128pb010) exist yet. I'm working on a project centered on the Spacebaby concept, and I'd like to be able to include them in my renders.

Thank you in advance to anyone who's able to tackle this. You are amazing. I should have registered here years ago to thank you all for the amazing work you've done.

Our we host will be updating our server OS. Last time this happened some PT processes were broken and had to be updated. As a precaution the PT has been locked until I'm informed the upgrade is complete and I can test the impact.

If this stretches past tomorrow, the planned PT update will still happen as scheduled as the new software resides on a separate server.

Hey again, I forgot to request this part until now. It’s Princess Morbucks’ headpiece from The Powerpuff Girls. I’d like to see this piece added. Thanks!

Hello!

I'm trying to build the 76210 Hulkbuster set. And I would be interested in these 2 pieces:

1942 - Electric, Light Slope Curved 4 x 2 x 2/3 Double with Fresnel Lens
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/cat...P=1942#T=C

93592pb01 - Windscreen 10 x 10 x 4 Canopy Dome Half Sphere with Dual 2 Fingers with Gold Armor Hulkbuster Face Pattern
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/cat...1#T=C&C=59

I count on you! 

I just installed the LDCAD. When I create a new model, I cannot see the panel for display the parts, and also the color pie. How can I enable or show the panel?

Many thanks
Darwin    

I would like to know if it's possible to download or convert the .dat files into a 3d file to open it in like blender or other 3d software. Thx

I am currently trying to make a part with a sticker/design on it (2335pb058). It is for the flag 2x2. I am new to all this software and I don't know what to do. If someone could help that would be awesome.

Right now this is just a question, before I propose to actually do anything…but have we ever considered improving the geometry of the 2x2 round family of parts?

• Brick 3941
  
• Plate 4032
  
• Tile 4150
  
• etc.…
