Hello, I'm not sure if this is a stupid question, but I haven't been able to find an answer in the documentation.

I came across the subfile box2-7.dat in the basepart 3289s01.dat. In the file, the box is used for the backside of the slope. What I
don't understand is how the angle of the subfile changes form 90 degree to a different angle. As far as I understand can the transfomation
matrix only affect the rotation, position and scaling of the subfile. 

Here is the box2-7 subfile. As you can see, the angle between the two quads is 90 degree.


And here is how the box2-7 subfile look in 3289s01.dat. The angle between the two quads is different as well as the dimensions.



I changed the position so it is easier to see. Where in the files does the geometry change?

Template for rope / cord / string

Would be nice, but unfortunately not (yet) available.
Here is an example from the train set 4564-1:

(All important information is in the HELP section of the basic parts)

While it was still relatively easy to create this "straight" version with LDPE, it becomes almost impossible with arbitrary shapes.

At least I succeeded with C4d and a Python script, but unfortunately everything was "inlined" .... logically an extremely large file.
A proud 1,800 base parts along a Bezier spline with a continuous single twist of 22.5 ° and an overlap of 0.5 ldu.

Hopefully there will be a template at some point in which you can set these factors individually.

Still a few pictures about this:
   
   
   
   
   

It would of course be just as awesome to have such an option in LDPE with these parameters
basic subpart xyz
cloned 1799
twist 22.5
extension bezier spline reference
step 0.5 ldu

If I want to generate a line drawing, as shown in the picture, which tool should I use?

I have tried it, pattern creator cannot do this

I only use line meta function.

It always helps to see a prototype so, here is an overly detailed mock-up of what my suggested Unified Menu (UM) would look like and how it could potentially look on sub domains and mobile along with a breakdown of the UM tree itself.

Site search has been implemented for the main menu search bar. This turned out to be surprisingly easy. I'll reintegrate PT search shortly.

Here's a little test of a search box I genned up today. Right now it's kind of hacky but it worked better than I thought and I'd like to implement it in the main site menu bar search.

Hey guys, I'm new here, but I was wondering if someone can make those (round) tiles that are used for Brickheadz eyes. I would love to use them for my own custom figures.

Here is extensive info on the part that I'm requesting:

Part Number: 98138pr0060
https://www.brickowl.com/catalog/lego-ti...1468-98138
https://rebrickable.com/parts/98138pr006...headz-eye/

I would be grateful if someone can create them soon.

And thanks in advance.

I'm making a duplo model.
 Now the problem is that I don't know how to modify the thickness of the rubber band. 

Do I need to make additional parts?

Hi,

this release contains just one bug fix regarding the shortcut assignment.
I am currently developing a new offline web application (LDPartMaker / LDPE 2.0).
You'll find a screenshot from the early development version attached to this post.


As always, you can download LDPE from this page:
http://nilsschmidt1337.github.io/ldparteditor/

Changelog:
(1 bug fix)

With this release the following critical issue isfixed:

1. Some keyboard keys can't be properly assigned as a shortcut for the 3D editor view (e.g. the 'R' key).
   

1. Download the zip-Archive
   
2. Extract the archive content to the location of your choice
   
3. On windows, double-click "run.bat" to start LDPE.
   
4. On linux/mac, you have to excecute the shell script "run.sh" to start LDPE.
   

1. On windows, double-click "update.bat" to search for updates.
   
2. On linux/mac, you have to excecute the shell script "update.sh".
