Hello everyone,
we are currently working on a project that requires a number of custom LDraw parts. To keep everything compatible with the official LDraw standards, we are looking for an experienced LDraw Part Author who can create high-quality, highly optimized .dat files.
This is paid work, and we are looking for someone with the following experience:
Requirements
- Strong experience with LDraw part authoring
- Ability to create primitive-based, clean, and efficient geometry (minimal triangles, correct use of subfiles, primitives, condlines, BFC, etc.)
- Familiarity with the LDraw Part Authoring Guidelines
- Ability to work with custom elements, modified versions of existing parts, or completely new parts based on STEP/OBJ files
- Experience with LDPartEditor and LDraw primitives is important
What we provide
- STEP/OBJ reference files
- Technical drawings or measurements if needed
- Clear specifications for each part
- Potential for ongoing paid collaboration
What we expect
- Clean, optimized .dat files
- Correct BFC usage
- Correct origin and grid alignment
- Use of LDraw primitives whenever possible
Volume of work
We need several custom parts and are looking for a reliable long-term collaboration.
How to apply
If you are interested, please reply here or send me a private message. 
Thank you!
Ansgar

| LPub3D re-render everything for a change |

Hi,
I am using LPub3D to generate instructions for my MOC, and I am using the current version 2.4.9 r36.
One issue I am facing is that, whenever I modify a page, such as inserting some plain text, LPub3D will immediately re-render everything from the very first page. I don't remember this behavior in previous versions.
Is there a setting that I can turn this off? or this can be a bug.
Moreover, I can no longer enter a number to jump to that page.
Thanks
Michael

Are patterned parts allowed to deviate from the mesh of the unpatterned version?
It seems different authors have chosen different solutions. Some authors prefer using 5 decimals to make sure that the patterned part doesn't introduce new cond lines. Other authors find it perfectly acceptable to deviate from the unpatterned mesh and ignore the need for new cond lines.
Is there any consensus?
Are both approaches acceptable?
Is either approach preferable?
Why shouldn't the deviating mesh also require new cond lines?
