As of right now (8/26/2024) I have 42 parts on my "Ready for admin" list, almost all of which I intentionally held back because they are part of larger, not ready assemblies. 

There are over 7000 parts that need at least one certify. 

The next update will be very small unless those with Part Reviewer status step up. Right now we have about 4-7 regulars reviewing parts, I'd like to see more than that. This is a group effort so if your are a long time author but only submit but don't review, I kindly ask you to review a batch of parts for every part you submit. I've added a few tools to make this easier and LDPE makes it fairly trivial to do reviews.

That said, if you are part author and think you are ready, ask me for review permission.

The 2024-07 LDraw Parts Update has been released. This update adds 454 new files to the core library, including 368 new parts and 9 new primitives.

Thanks are due to all the part authors who created or corrected parts for this release. The small, but dedicated, band of reviewers also play an important role in keeping files moving through the Parts Tracker and deserve just as much credit. This update wouldn't have been possible without their dedication and attention to detail.

Special thanks to Magnus Forsberg for his efforts in fixing the Minifig helmet and visor parts.

You can preview the new parts in 2024-07 here, and download the zip-file update or Windows install package here.

Thank you to all the testers and parts authors who continue giving feedback on the new PT software. This project would not be what it is without your help.

Please could someone add this part to the parts list? I really need this and there are no 3D models of this part anywhere.
Part on Bricklink: 34690pb01

I am new to the LDraw All-In-One programs and, after installing, I began a project (MOC Classic Battlestar Galactica) and found that snapping parts doesn't appear to be working for parts that I star with.

I tried using the Movement Snap option to adjust snapping parts together, but it doesn't seem to work exactly right.

Being able to precisely adjust X, Y, and Z coordinates might help, but an actual snapping certain parts would help.

For example, Part Technic Beam 7x5 With Open Center 5x3, 64179 is the first part.  I attempted to plug in Technic Pin With Friction Type 2, 61332 into the vertical holes (or even the horizontal holes, and though it "fits" not precise, being offset and phasing through, it doesn't appear to "snap" into place precisely.  There are offsets that need adjusting both Z and the X or Y just slightly.  

Is there a way to make the fine tuned adjustments either using exact typing of X, Y, and/or Z coordinates or create true snapping abilities?  These parts apparently aren't true "solids" as parts phase through one another, and it would be nice if they actually were "solids", but I'll take whatever I can get.

In case you couldn't tell, I'm completely new to this program, so I may be easily missing something.

Thanks.

I wanted to share with you a program that is able to upscale low-resolution stickers, with the help of artificial intelligence, and bring them to high resolution.
The results are very good, especially if they are mostly graphic images and not small writings.
Different algorithms can be used for optimal results.
Any imperfections in the original file can be easily retouched with Photoshop before or after upscaling.
I use it with satisfaction. Try it!
You can download and use it for free.
I hope I did something appreciated!

Hey,

the new sphere from LDView is now used for LDPartEditor's CSG logic.
Here you see a CSG example:

• ...use the sphere mesh from LDView for CSG operations, too (!LPE CSG_ELLIPSOID).
  
• ...adjust a unification threshold for the CSG optimizer (0 !LPE CSG_UNIFY_EPSILON 0.1).
  

1. !LPE CSG_UNION "consumed" a few triangles. Other triangle defects could still occur, but only with very complex union intersections.

I'm targeting 8/24-8/25 for the next release. Get your reviews in. 

P.S. Going forward releases will generally happen on the last full weekend of the month.

Hi again.

It seems there's an error with 44568. The usage of p\clh6 is not correct since it's symetrical and the two fingers are not on this part.

I have this part on my desk right now and I see the same that's shown on this picture :


Does it exist two versions of this part, one with symetrical fingers and one without ?

Hey,

this release adds primitive substitution to LDPE. It is very similar to LDView's primitive substitution.
I even used some code from LDView and mentioned Travis Cobbs and Peter Bartfai in the credits :)
It also delivers better icons for the dark mode and enhances the 3D grid visualisation.



As always, you can download LDPE from this page:

http://nilsschmidt1337.github.io/ldparteditor/

Changelog:

(4 new features and 2 bug fixes)

With this release you will be able to...

• ...use primitive substitution (blue circle button at the upper left corner, ctrl-click to modify substitution quality).
  
• ...benefit from a 3D grid that shows 3D model intersections and has a lager size.
  
• ...benefit from inverted icons for a better contrast with dark buttons.
  
• ...create a coplanar quad within the "Coplanarity Heatmap" mode.
  

1. PartReview had loading problems under MacOS (the 3D view was gone).
   
2. (Linux/Mac) case-sensitivity when following a reference from the text editor with a mouse click when the target file was already opened caused problems.

Hello,

on the figure head 3626bp41 the moustache is a bit too high, see the following picture (source: Rebrickable).


  Bildschirmfoto vom 2024-08-16 13-34-13.png (Size: 108.59 KB / Downloads: 40)

Please also insert the Bricklink reference 3626bpx120.
This head is used e.g. in the sets 6009, 6057, 6086.
Can someone please make this adjustment.
Thanks.

Greetings

Manfred
