A simple idea, perhaps (and for all I know someone's already done this), but what about a "place on ground" script that would calculate the lowest point of a model and place that at Y=0?

Better still, calculate the two lowest points—such as two wheels that are not quite in the same plane—and rotate the whole model so that they both rest at Y=0?

Since this topic seems to come up every once in while, I made a short tutorial (with pictures!) on how to add unofficial parts to LDCad

Hi,

Can I get part 86996 please, it appears in set 80108 Lunar New Year Traditions and is just two plates high. Except it has a bar hole which is useful.

Hi Roland,

is there an API call which returns the current editing plane? Something which perhaps returns a value of 1, 2 or 3?

By way of an example, when ctrl+R is pressed to open the Manual Rotation dialog, it knows the current editing plane to apply the rotation to. I'm wanting to modify the part alignment scripts to work based on the current rotation plane rather than making the user identify the X, Y or Z plane to be rotated around.

If an API call isn't available, can you guide me in the direction of a possible approach to try?

Thanks and regards,

David

I was searching for 2609b, but I saw there was only 2609a available at LDraw. I am curious if someone would like to create 2609c.

I would like to request part 2609b, because it is missing in studio. If someone would like to create this part and add it to the parts tracker, would be very awesome. I have seen that Ldraw only has 2609a.
