since these are fairly complicated pieces i would be ok if only 1 is authored.
and i would hopefully be patient since it would probably take a hour to make these.

when I made my account I accidentally put my first name as username and last name as name. So now my name is wrong

Hello LDraw!

Could you please have a look at part no. 6233 'Rocket Step 3X3X2 w. Cross' as it is lacking details at the connecting side (lower ring) that is visible when rendering it?

   

Cheers!

Hello there LDraw! I'm currently in need of 3 parts for some Batman themed IG posts. Could someone please add these three cloth pieces to the parts list?

The LDraw.org Steering Committee is pleased to announce that the 2024 James Jessiman Memorial Award (JJMA) recipient is Evert-Jan Boer.

Evert-Jan says about himself:
"I still remember receiving the classic yellow castle on one of my birthdays, and I rather would like to build it right away instead of spending my birthday with friends and family. Toys came and went, but everything LEGO stayed with me.

It was around the year 2000 that I stumbled across Bricklink which gave me the opportunity to replace lost and broken parts, and also the possibility to build digitally with LDraw, MLCad and LDView. Around that time I also started working on saving my collection in a database with a web front end (thanks to my previous experience as programmer), and quickly noticed not everything was available as a LDraw part, which pushed me to finding out how to create these myselves. I mostly create patterns and stickers for sets I own, and now and then conversions of parts from other sources."

More information on the JJMA can be found at: https://www.ldraw.org/article/222.html

On behalf of the LDraw Steering Committee, we thank Evert-Jan for his contributions and look forward to working with him in the future. He has currently a whooping 1443 parts in the library/parts tracker.

I am looking for the difference between 98138pb442 (new part in Endurance set) and 98138pb369

The black circle on 98138pb369 looks smaller, but 98138py0 looks more like the new part, just a bit too small. 
When I measure the black circle on 98138pb442 it is 6.8mm, 17LDU. I think 98138py0 needs to have a smaller circle, if someone has this part and can measure it, that would be great.

I'm looking to display my LDR files in a web page using THREE.js. On the THREE.js documentation is suggests using a "Packed LDraw Model". Here are the instrucitons:

Packing LDraw models
To pack a model with all its referenced files, download the Official LDraw parts library and use the following Node script: utils/packLDrawModel.js It contains instructions on how to setup the files and execute it.

However, both the link to the parts library and the link to the packLDrawModel script are 404 errors. Does anyone know how to create a packed LDraw file?

What is the proper/preferred way of subfiling for patterns regarding symmetric parts?

Option A1
main part contains front face and any surface/edge which cannot be in the half, halves have mirrored symmetry
subfile contains only one half

Option A2
main part contains front face and any surface/edge which cannot be in the half, halves have rotational symmetry
subfile contains only one half

Option B
main part contains front face
first subfile contains complete part without front face
second subfile contains one half

Option C
main part contains front face
subfile contains one half and half of anything that is shared among the halves

I've understood that option C (splitting quads, boxes, etc) is to be avoided.

Options A1 and A2 would leave a bunch of lines in any patterned part file, while option B increases the number of files to be reviewed. Using rotational symmetry in the subfile reduces the amount of lines that need to be in the parent part. I've understood that mirroring is preferred over rotating (subfiles).
