I am still learning the ways of ldraw and right now I'm trying to understand the last comment on this part. Should all edges and cond lines be in s01? Is that the issue? I didn't find a way to comment on the post. So tried here instead.

Hello gents, long time no see. 

I recently dug out LDCad again to build the 75192 Falcon.

I try to implement the structure and building steps of the building instructions to the LDraw file. For realizing this I have to work with the grouping feature.

For example: I build the landing gear (building step 131 to 149) as a group. So I can add these steps exactly as main steps 131 to 149 to the LDraw file. 

But I would prefer to build the landing gear as a submodel, as it is much, much more comfortable to work with submodels. But using a submodel instead of using a group is destroying the main step numbering, as a submodel starts with sub step 1.

Question: Is it somehow possible to generate a new submodel AND continue the main stepping (here 131 to 149) within this submodel instead if starting with substep 1?

Hello! I've started learning LDraw recently, and for first parts to be properly made as LDraw ones, I took two ones originally modeled by my friend and converted those to LDraw. Me and him are working together on making library of Bionicle parts 3d models. I want to know, do this two parts fit LDraw standard, or I've missed something? Also, if those are good enough, how can I gan access to uploading parts to part tracker?

Hello everyone! I am having trouble with understanding how spherical texture mapping in LDraw works. I tried to use both guide from the specifications and also looking for some examples on the forum, but for some reason neither are willing to show up after I load them in any LDraw viewer. Is spherical mapping broken, or I might be missing something?

This part needs to be renumbered. However:

Orion:
71014 is the now obsolete chrome version of this part. Therefore, should we resurrect the old part as an alias or delete this alias?

Max:
Is 71014 the Design ID or Element ID? If it is the design ID then we should make the old (obsolete) file an alias. If it's an element ID, then we can delete this part and have nothing to do with the other one, as we don't support physical colour parts anymore.

Philo:
It's a design ID. 71014 BROADSWORD Silver metal

Bringing this discussion here for any additional input before I take action.

I identified what is a potential problem with texture images and the requirements of the CC BY license: there is no current mechanism to track authors and modifications to these images. While we haven't had an image recycled to the library for a fix, I feel it is only a matter of time before this happens. The PT tracks these events internally and this data is saved between releases but there is no method for someone who downloads the library to know who has authored an image and what its license is. A solution needs to be found.

I have a few options I can think of:
1. A "Texture Attribution" document included with the library that lists the filename, author, modification authors (if there are any), and license for each image.
Pros: Does not require any modifications to the PT software.
Cons: Labor intensive for the Parts Admin.
Note: I have made such a document and will be including it with the library starting the May release.

2. Add this information to the PNG meta data
Pros: info lives in the files
Cons: Very technically challenging, data not available in an intuitive way, not sure if this meets the intent of CC BY, would have to research.

3. Have a parallel dat file for each png file or, conversely, include texture mod HISTORY in the parent file
Pros: Easy to implement, uses the standard header.
Cons: Adds complexity to the library.

Thoughts?

Hello, I was wondering if I could get help adding some parts into studio:
72206: https://rebrickable.com/parts/72206/whee...lack-tyre/
80177: https://rebrickable.com/parts/80177/slop...otch-left/
80178: https://rebrickable.com/parts/80178/slop...tch-right/
I'm working on making set 76909 for a project and help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi all,

I have this big model of 12000+ bricks I am working on.
Somewhere on the way, I lost some work :-( and had to redo a few things here and there.
Before the loss of work, however, the model was 99% complete and I was able to restore the lost file and thus its BOM.
Finishing the model, there are some changes and additions here and there and I kind of lost what bricks went missing, got replaced, and are not used anymore.

So, my question: Is there a clever way to compare 2 files to see the difference in the BOM?

Thanks!

Jaco

Hi!

I am looking for these LEGO 71024 Disney Minifigures Scrooge McDuck, Huey, Dewey & Louie!

Thank you very much if you create it! :-)

Best regards.: Zoli
