Hi,
my name is Nils ans I started building with LDCad some days ago.

The software is really cool and nice to use but I have trouble with adding additional parts.

I want to build a steam locomotive with wheels from Big Ben Bricks.

As some of you know, BBB is offering .dat files for each wheel design to use them in LDraw.

It is no problem to load the models in LDCad and have a look at them, but I have trouble to insert them in the Part bin.

I read trough Roland Melkerts webpage but it seems like I can´t find the procedure.
The nearest was this one: http://www.melkert.net/LDCad/tech/templates

I copied the files from BBB into the "c:/users/puplic/public documents/ldraw/unoffical/parts" folder and added this path in the parts find configuration in LDCad.

I tried it over and over but the wheels won´t show up in the Part bin 

Where would they normally show up ? Do i have to tell LDCad "somehow" else about the parts ?

Thank you for your help.

Best regards

Nils

Hi all, 
  I would liek my son (5 years) to be able to build my old amazing Lego castle - but with my parents his grand parents (61 and 66) - and there is just one bad scan of the instructions. 
I wanted to recreate the instructions, maybe a bit more deatiled, but the base plate (6261pr0001) is missing from Studio. It exists in this library but in LDcad the other pieces won't snap to it.
if I downlaod it as a file and import into Parts Designer - i can import into Studio - but there it also doesn't snap.

Can somene please review that part?

Thank You a lot!

I've been trying to figure this out for 2 days. I was using LPub3D to build instructions. Right after I created a callout, I went to do something, and my 4 year old son was on my computer. I didn't think he actually did anything, until I tried to work the next step. It kept giving me 3 errors below back to back. My guess is that my son may have typed or deleted stuff into the editor and messed up the code. However, I cannot actually look at the code, because after I close the 3 errors, LPub crashes.

------------------------

Parse failed main.ldr:390
0 !LPUB CALLOUT11EGIN

Invalid LDraw type 1 line. Expected 15 elements, got "15 12 45 -1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 -1 mirror.ldr". (file:main.ldr, line:392)

CALLOUT END without a CALLOUT BEGIN (file:main.ldr,line:395)


-------------

I assume that the CALLOUT11EGIN should have been CALLOUT BEGIN. But the question is: How can I edit the code without LPub crashing it? Is there a way for LPub to not render while editing? I used LDCad to create the model file but couldn't see a way to go to the source code within LDCad.

Even just pointing me to the right direction would help immensely.

Hi there!

I've been searching the internet for the "minifigure dragon tail" (part no. 35756) from the "Collectable Minifigures" (series 18) "dragon suit guy".
There seems to be a digital 3D model of the object since the picture on "Brick Owl" clearly is a rendering, but I wasn't able to find it.

Thanks!

Couple of things on the main site/PT theming:

- I feel the logos and menus take up too much screen real estate. I'd like to compress them to something more compact. Thoughts or ideas?

- I'm not happy with the color scheme. It's a whole lot of grey and white. My sense of color coordination is terrible so if anybody has any improvement suggestions, I'll consider them.

I have posted a test release for LDView 4.4 Beta 3 to GitHub:

https://github.com/tcobbs/ldview/release...v4.4_Beta3

Hopefully Linux binaries will be added tomorrow.

This release contains bug fixes since Beta 2, and also uses a Universal Binary for the Mac release. (This should run natively on Apple Silicon Macs, but I don't have access to such a machine to test if it work.)

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 my Alpha 6 announcement for a list of what I feel are the most important changes relative to LDView 4.3.

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.

Hi. It's my first post here, so I hope I am not doing anything wrong. I have almost finnished the set 10219-1 (Maersk Container Train). The only things I'm missing are a minifig head (3626bpb0331) and the torso (973pb0862). I tried doing it myself, but got overwhelmed by LD Part Editor and LD Pattern Creator. Could anyone guide me? Any help is apreciated. Like LD Pattern Creator Tutorials, high resolution images of the parts or help converting SVG to DAT. Thank you very much for your attention. Have a nice day.

Hi,

Sorry been a while since I was here but I can't find the parts request sub forum. I'm sure it existed. Anyway if a mod reads this welcome to move etc.

Anyway I'm trying to find the file for part# 18729 Windscreen 10 x 6 x 4 Curved alt number is 43376.

Its been around since 2015 and I figured it would be here somewhere for sure but alas...

Any ideas if this is happening or (more than likely) is already available and I'm just dumb.

All the best

Does anyone know if this is anywhere to be found?
Part 66913
Perhaps digital-bricks.de? I cannot seem to find it.
If it has not been made, can it be done?
