LDView 4.4 is now available.

You can download this release from the LDView Downloads Page.

In my opinion, the biggest enhancements in this release are:

1. Support for DPI scaling (AKA High DPI) on Windows, as well as Retina displays on macOS.
   
2. Support for SPHERICAL and CYLINDRICAL texture maps.
   
3. A new Search field in the Model Tree.
   
4. Support for !DATA meta-command for embedding texture maps into MPDs.
   
5. LDView.com executable in Windows so that command line usage now shows errors (and optionally warnings).
   
6. Support for macOS Finder thumbnail generation (toggle on LDraw tab of preferences).
   
7. Support for macOS Dark Mode.
   
8. Support for Apple Silicon-based Macs.
   
9. Multiple important TEXMAP bug fixes.

This new feature looks interesting and may be useful as a starting point for complex parts with organic shapes.

Hello all.

I have been wondering if there is a way to create a collection of images of a part from different angles automatically.
The only comparison I can think of is to use a Photoshop action to rotate the image, save a copy, repeat that a few times, close the part and onto the next.

I want to train a neutral network to identify Lego bricks on a conveyor, and sort them.  The standard way is to take photos from a few angles and label them.

That could take forever with the dataset I want to create, even using a handful of camera taking photos at the same time.

Does anyone know if this is possible with Ldraw?
I saw that you can go to a predetermined viewpoint and take a screenshot, seems like a good start?

I know a virtual image set won't be as accurate as taking sample photos of real bricks in situ, but I can add real photos to the dataset latter for bad matchups.

Thanks for any recommendations ?

I sent a DAT file of an existing part (minifig head) to the PTAdmin to upload this file to the Part Tracker. I just added a Bricklink reference.
I received a message during the verification process that just adding a Bricklink reference is not enough to republish this part.
From my point of view, a Bricklink reference is very helpful. I found more minifig heads that need a Bricklink reference.
What is the statement from the community, is it okay or is that not enough to republish a part? 


Greetings

This is my first post so I don't know if I'm posting in the right place!

I am looking for this piece in the LDraw library:
https://rebrickable.com/parts/98566/larg...d-hexagon/
There is an image of the LDraw model, so I thought it would be in the library. But I searched every relevant key word I could think of and I can't find it. Was it removed or something? Thanks for any help!

Hello.

In a usual "Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope" manner I am seeking help in aquiring the following element models:
50629
54937
54176
54936
63149
I have searched in various parts packs, on thingiverse in individual models that I could extract parts from, I only found 50602 and 54175.
