I have searched this part for a while now, but I am not able to find the blue version of 75c36 in any store. I am worried because this part is only in one set. Are there ways to buy rare lego parts like this one? I want to complete my old lego set 4611-1 - Police HQ.

First, I would just like to say this is one of my favorite parts in the LDraw library. Just very nice, clean, yet detailed, and it's fun to be able to accurately model the big Black Cat truck while including that fun little nod to the Fabuland theme. 

That being said, I think the shaft is a bit long. A rough visual estimate based on this image suggest it should be about 62-63 LDU from the shoulder of the blade to the crossbar. Right now, that's the distance to the top of the blade subfile, which includes the little rivets that overlap the shaft. So the whole blade should be moved up that distance (and the shaft shortened accordingly).

Easy for me to fix, but I'm just bringing it up in case anyone has the actual part to give a true measurement.

Looks like there's some new click hinges with 7 teeth instead of 9 (so probably a new primitive set to be made):

Also, this part with no side slots:

After months of work, I've released my Blender LDraw handler. https://github.com/cuddlyogre/ExportLdraw

Download the project zip, and extract the contents to C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.83\scripts\addons\ExportLdraw, then in Blender, go to Edit > Preferences > Add-ons > search for LDraw and check the box next to Import-Export: Export LDraw. Menu options are in Import and Export.

Please install it and show me what you can do.

I need to write up proper instructions, but here's the readme :

Aloha

i just wanted to say hello. Last weekend, i stumbled across your LDraw library and it´s viewer, and even more it´s export function, and it was quite fascinating. Especially that this allowed me to import your models into my 3D Program (an ancient Cinema 4D version) to render some pictures.
Ok, later i discovered, that the export function from LeoCAD (specifically it´s Wavefront .obj format) is more compatible with C4D in regards to how the objects get exported, but whatever.

So, as a welcome, here are some fast testrenders from some of your models:

   

   

   

Ok, some materials are still off, especially every transparent material gives me headaches and way different results than what i have seen in some of your POVRay images... but thats something, that i hopefully can figure out at some point.

And while i was at experimenting, since i got those models into C4D, it was also possible to send them to the Free for all Unreal Engine 4   (again, materials are far from perfect and it´s just the plain boring start scene without anything interesting). If you ever want make your own LEGO game, UE4 (soon UE5) might be worth taking a look:




Some questions if you don´t mind:

- Since i am tempted to make some more renders, or even a short clip with UE4, how exactly do you want get the credits inserted, and what exactly should those credits contain? I mean, it´s your LDraw library and tools, that made those renders possible.
- As mentioned, some colors are way off. Is there somewhere a kind of library, or info, how i can those colors closer to the originals? Or do you think, they are decent enough?


Have a nice day.

I have posted a test release for LDView 4.4 Beta 1 to GitHub:

https://github.com/tcobbs/ldview/release...v4.4_Beta1

This release fixes a number of problems that were found in the previous Alpha 6 test release. However, it is still a test release.

The 32-bit Windows installer is forthcoming. (No one asked for one of those for the Alpha 6 release, so I'm not sure how many people would use it.)

The ChangeHistory.html file that is included in the release lists all of the changes since LDView 4.3. In the macOS version, ChangeHistory.html is in the dmg. In the Windows version, ChangeHistory.html gets installed to wherever you install LDView (C:\Program Files\LDView by default). I'm actually not sure where it goes in the Linux version. Please see the Alpha 6 announcement linked above for a list of what I feel are the most important changes relative to LDView 4.3. As mentioned, this Beta 1 release fixes bugs found in Alpha 6.

Please let me know about any problems you find. The preferred way to do that is with LDView's GitHub Issues tracker. However, if you do not want to create a GitHub account so that you can do that, you can reply to this message.

Hey guys, i am searching for a General Grievous head 50994 ( https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/cat...ied%5D#T=C )
and a Jedi starfighter wing 1435 ( https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/cat...lag%5D#T=C ).

I have searched a bit here in the forum but can't seem to find any files, i could download.

First off, has anyone heard from Trevor? I noticed that he hasnt been online in a few months. 

Secondly, I am having all sorts of trouble with the PLI and assembly images resolving correctly. 

I have a model created in Studio and saved as an LDR. I know that this used to be an issue for LPub3D but I had seen that Trevor had added this functionality at some point late last year. 

From there I use a LOT of custom parts in my trains. I have tried going back an using the portable versions for windows all the way back 2.3.10 and have had issues with each one. 

The cleanest example is that when I use 15335p03 it will show in the assembly but not the PLI. 

I am a bit lost and a bit frustrated. 

I have also made sure to follow the advice here for custom parts:

I have attached a screen shot of the step with 15335p03

I'm not a huge fan of the gradient background behind the logo on the main site. Any suggestions on an alternative?

My daughter has started playing Lego Friends and Disney Princess from several months before.
She says "kawaii (cute)" for the mini-dolls and Lego is one of her favorite things.
Of course I cannot afford every sets, so I'd like to build Friends, Disney Princess, Elves and DC Super Hero Girls sets in LDraw.
Some of them are built by Philo and in the official models thread

As there are a number of missing parts in the parts library, I'll list up them here.
Needless to say, I'd like to author them as many as I can, but I'll be pleased if the community helps.
