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
I just updated the MLCad.ini file accordingly to the latest LDraw.org parts update 2022-03. The .ini file defines (among other things) the parts available in MLCad's, LEOCad's and Bricksmith's minifigure generator.
I'm going to add some clarification to the sticker numbering section of the Part Number Spec to state that if the stickers are numbered on the sheet then the corresponding letter (e.g. 1 = a, 2= b) should be used as the letter suffix. I don't think this constitutes a material and, therefore, votable change but we can vote if either of you would like.
Is there a way for replacing bricks? I know it's possible to do that in notepad if one opens ldr file (replace NNNN.dat for NNNN2.dat), but it's such thing possible in LDCad?
Since most of this discussion was off forum and between Joshua and me and everyone else and me, I'd like to write down the strategy I've envisioned
71603 is the number for the whole assembly therefore:
71603: The complete assembly with fins/prisms (u9248), center assembly (u9548c01), and battery cover (u9546)
u9548c01: The center assembly with top (u9548), bottom (u9547), electrics (u9577), screws (u9549 and u9576), and buttons (not yet modeled)
This leaves out u9547 and 71603c01 of which both can be deleted.
The battery cover can go in either 71603 or u9548c01 whatever the consensus is.
I'm a longtime LDD user who, three days ago, switched to Bricklink Studio after a long break. Since then, I've been going through and attempting to build every single official LEGO Star Wars model, in order of release.
I'm nearing the end of the 1999 sets and I'm noticing an increasing number of parts that cannot be imported into Studio. Many can be replaced with a near-identical part, but there are three that I feel could benefit from being fully recreated and, hopefully, added to Studio in some way, shape, or form. These parts are as follows:
FROM 7151 (Sith Infiltrator)
- 30366px3 (Windscreen 3 x 6 x 5 Bubble with Sith Infiltrator Pattern)
- 3037px2 (Slope 45 2 x 4 with Dark Gray and Black Lines Pattern)
FROM 7171 (Mos Espa Podrace)
- sw0980 (Sebulba)
I should note that sw0980 isn't catalogued on Bricklink as a part because it's a one-piece minifigure. I don't know if that bars it from being made available for importing into studio, but I included it here just in case it can be added.
I don't know if it helps, but I attached what I could find in the Bricklink catalogue to represent these missing parts.
Please let me know if I can help in any other way, or if any of these parts are available but I overlooked them.
I didn't see such feature in documentation: Is there a way to show number of polygons/triangles needed to render current loaded model/part in LDCad? I use 1.6d version.
