By my reckoning, there are 3 major areas of concern for a library part:

• Part number or filename
  
• Geometry (including origin and orientation)
  
• Header, the most focused on aspect being description.
  

I've already received LSB concurrence for this but I realized that while it was discussion in another thread, it was never really discussed on it's own.

The following will be added to the Sticker Shortcuts section of the library spec
https://www.ldraw.org/article/512.html#s..._shortcuts

Quote:The description for sticker shortcuts should be in the following format:
<base part description> with <sticker description> Sticker

Where:
<base part description> is the base part description verbatim
<sticker description> is the sticker description after "Sticker <dimensions>|<shape>"

Example:
Base Part 11477: Slope Brick Curved 2 x 1
Sticker 6142622m: Sticker 1.9 x 0.8 with Black Headlamp on Yellow Background Right
Sticker Shortcut: Slope Brick Curved 2 x 1 with Black Headlamp on Yellow Background Right Sticker

3d preview is malfunctioning for subpart 64179s01 has some issues - buttons that switch view mode do not work

While modifying some stuff about part 50898, I have encountered a bit of a problem. There was a situation that required to use condlines with all points being on the same plane. It it okay? Or maybe there are some ways to work around such problems? If not use that condline at all, software like LDView gives off a pretty bad picture in terms of shading with edges appearing sharp when they clearly should be not that way

Hi all,

I'd like to suggest adding the keyword "cheese" (and/or "cheese slope") to 54200.
And all patterned versions of that piece.

Perhaps to 85984 too?

Thanks.

Hi,
I'm new to this forum so forgive me if I'm doing something wrong.
I serched a tred that deal about my problem, but I didn't find enything.

So here is my problem. It's a week or so that LPUB doesn't show the PLI on each step.
It works on some and it doesen't on others, moreover, if I go back and forth in the pages, the PLI changes, even the BOM at the end of the file changes.

There is someone that can help me?

Thanks in advance

Hi Guys,

I recently got into making lego animations and wanted to make an animation using Finn from adventure time. I'm mainly looking for the hat as I was able to recreate the rest of his minifig easily. I searched through LDraw, digital bricks, and Brick Link Studios but was unable to find the hat. I know the model exists as I've seen a few images of the 3d model but haven't been able to find the actual model. I would appreciate any help in finding the hat!

Thanks!
Gabin Marlin!

Just noticed that there is a strange situation with Krana Vu. For some reason, one of it's subfiles, the half of the part one, is in the official library. Meanwhile model itself is not. Probably it should be reviewed, and if anything is okay certified? I don't think it's okay to have a subfile be floating in the official part library without the part itself

Subfile: https://www.ldraw.org/parts/official-par...s/42042s01

Like discussed elsewhere, I'm considering starting a public github repository for the LDCad shadow library.

For this I would like some feedback about how to do this best.

I really could use some help deciding about the following things:

- License type
I'm currently using "Free for non commercial use" in all the .dat files, I've decided to change that to something more permissive like "CC BY-SA 4.0" but if someone has an alternative suggestion I'm open to that too.
The problem with this is I will need to contact the people whom contributed shadow info over the years (they are all members of the forum though )
But worst-case scenario I'll just leave those files out (just about 400 .dat's in total or so)

- Author / change tracking.
Currently I only have a single Author line, but I figure a public repo needs some more information.
I really don't want a part tracker level of tracking, but I guess there should be some rules header wise.


I already made a private repository to do some tests with, so once a license is chosen it will be ready to go.

I also want to add some tools to LDCad to help format / maintain shadow info intended to be donated to the repo.


Any ideas/suggestions about how to get this repo/project started are welcome.
