  Edge of peg hole in 11458 too thin?
Posted by: Jaco van der Molen - 2020-11-06, 10:45 - Forum: Parts Authoring - Replies (19)

I was building this nice bookcase from a video I found from Tiago Catarino.

In real life LEGO 20482 (brown here) fits perfectly and the peg hole aligns:

But, in LDraw see illustrated here (20482 in light grey for better contrast) does not align with the peg hole
   

Isn't the edge of the peg hole of part 11458 too thin? Or is 20482 too thick?

  Part Request: Extended Minifigure Arms (87773 & 87774)
Posted by: Matthew Coleman - 2020-11-04, 14:43 - Forum: Part Requests - Replies (10)

Hey there, I know that the extended minifigure legs are already in the LDraw Parts Library, but not the extended minifigure arms.

87773 - Arm, Left Long

87774 - Arm, Right Long


Even though LEGO no longer produces these extended minifigure limbs anymore, I still believe these parts will come in handy for designing new minifigure concepts (Professor Utonium from The Powerpuff Girls for example), and I would really love to see them added to the LDraw Parts Library someday.

  What do I need to get started making parts for the LDraw library?
Posted by: Karl Miller - 2020-11-03, 21:13 - Forum: Parts Authoring - Replies (15)

Hello everyone,

I am super new to this community and have no idea what I need to get started. I have a list of parts I would like to create in LDraw and know that I should check the LDraw library to make sure they do not exist already before creating and submitting them. However, I have no idea what software I need to create the parts.

What do I need?

Thanks!

  Newbie - How do I obtain privileges to submit parts to LDraw?
Posted by: Karl Miller - 2020-11-03, 20:09 - Forum: Parts Authoring - Replies (5)

Hi everyone,

I am completely (like 20 minutes) new to this platform and have just created an account. I want to add parts to the LDraw library, but when I go to the main LDraw page > Parts and Tools > Parts Tracker > Submit I get this message:

Sorry, your userid(Karl) must have submit privileges in order to submit files.

What do I need to do/Can I do anything to get these privileges?


Thanks!

  Parts 11216 and 89519
Posted by: Massimo Maso - 2020-11-01, 9:40 - Forum: Parts Authoring - Replies (2)

I'm starting to work on 11216 and 89519.
According to the references I found in digital-bricks.de, the two parts are very similar and there will be some subparts in common.
What I'm not sure about is the area below the studs.

In one case (89519) the cylinder is connected to the straight part between two little cylinders, in the other (11216) the intersection is direct.
I tried to verify this with pictures of the actual components, but couldn't find a good enough one.
Can anyone tell me what to do?

  cyli2.dat
Posted by: Ulrich Röder - 2020-10-31, 20:06 - Forum: Parts Authoring - Replies (15)

This misinformation should be adapted urgently:


https://www.ldraw.org/library/primref/

Circular cylinder:

n-fcyli2.dat

"This suite of primitives are used to generate cylinders or part cylinders. These are provided in two forms - with conditional lines (n-fcyli) or without conditional lines (n-fcyli2). In most circumstances the "cyli" version should be used. The "cyli2" versions are for special cases, such as the rounded corners of stickers."


Magnus pointed out to me that cylinders with conditioning lines are definitely necessary for stickers with rounded inside / outside corners.

Nice trap .... for every clueless who obeys the written rules. Wink

  Help rotating a part file ccontaining subparts
Posted by: Alex Herrera - 2020-10-31, 17:35 - Forum: Parts Authoring - No Replies

Hello,



I need help with a rotating situation. I have the file  6237277a.dat which contains a reference to 7 subparts(6237277as01-08) and it looks like (inputdata.png). Each one of them are oriented to the top position with -0.25 as "y" position.
What I'm trying to do is to fold that file using 15068 top part(15068 top - copia.dat) as reference in LETGUI  (with Slicerpro  tool).  The problem I have is  that the only way that worked for me, was to "expand subfiles in pattern").  The result looks good (6237277aout.dat) but it turns out that the subparts are inlined in that file.
How can I  regroup the formed result into the same subfiles from the flat version ?

Thanks in advanced for any help you could provide.

Regards,

Alex Herrera (alanbrito98)

  Part Requests: Scooby-Doo Hairpieces
Posted by: Matthew Coleman - 2020-10-28, 12:10 - Forum: Part Requests - Replies (7)

Hey again, I've noticed that the following hairpieces from LEGO Scooby-Doo are currently not listed in LDraw's Parts Database.

21787 - Shaggy Rogers's Hairpiece

[Image: 21787.png]

21788 - Fred Jones's Hairpiece

21789 - Velma Dinkley's Hairpiece

I'd really like to have these hairpieces added to the Parts Tracker so they can be added to Bricklink's Studio software someday. Thank you.
