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
  

• STEP/OBJ reference files
  
• Technical drawings or measurements if needed
  
• Clear specifications for each part
  
• Potential for ongoing paid collaboration
  

• Clean, optimized .dat files
  
• Correct BFC usage
  
• Correct origin and grid alignment
  
• Use of LDraw primitives whenever possible
  

The parts tracker activity log page contains nice filtering options. Is it possible to exclude the events that I have done so that I get a view of what others have done?

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

Hello,
as requested for the part 33458, I'm working on the dual mold version of 47847.

I have attached the first version I made.

I have some questions:
- The original part has various double vertices and inaccuracies. Do I correct them, or is there some reason why they were left?
- The transition of the two colors is not well defined, there is a blurred stroke. There is no way to do that with the code we currently have. Can the division I propose go?
- Should Edge and  Cond lines involving faces with different colors be split in two, or left long only in one half, as I did in the uploaded version?

If there is anything else I had to pay attention to, please point it out to me.

Hello! I would like to request part 1879 please.

Thank you!

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?

How are texmap images reviewed? Is special software needed?

Is there a way to filter away the parts I have already voted on?

I'm looking for pieces 37073 - parted yellow hair
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/cat...#T=C&C=103
and piece 67900 - hare
 https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/cat...#T=C&C=162

They are used in Hogwarts Room of Requirement set 75966. Neither are on http://www.digital-bricks.de/en/statistic4.php.

I've come across parts where the main file has been certified by two or more reviewers, but one of the subfiles has not. Sometimes the subfile tree is 5 levels deep and it's easy to miss an offshoot or a subfile that isn't referenced by the main file.

Does the parts tracker have a convenient feature where I can see how many subfiles a particular part has in its subfile tree or is the only way to click through the subfile dependencies?

There is an automatic hold for parts not having certified subparts, but is that info useful before an admin has made the admin review or a subpart has been graduated?
