What's the current preferred practice for minifg head patterns?
1. Head on shot, make the pattern, and then project it using Philo's tool
2. Try to "unfold" the pattern, make it, and then "refold" it to the head subfile

Philo has already drawn a lot of pneumatic tubes for use in the PLI of LPub3D and uploaded them to the PartsTracker.
For a MOC I need some that are not yet available. For example 11L and 12L.
Since these are relatively simple, I would like to submit them later.
Now to my question: According to which scheme are the tubes named?
I don't see any connection.

I'm making a Lego robot arm build guide in LDCad. But being a novice, I accidentally created a sub-model within the main build window. My finished model is now saved as 'LDraw Multi-Part Project' instead of as an LDraw file(*.ldr). I found my mistake after many hours of build when I finally tried to export my build guide to Lego Digital Designer, as it is the format I was expected to submit. When I try to import this file to Lego Digital Designer(LDD), LDD only looks for *.ldr files only. I want to save my sub-model as main model in LDCad with all the steps I used to create it. A search on the internet hasn't helped me find solutions. I really don't want to go back to the drawing board and spend many hours I barely have on building it again. Can anyone help?

Hey, I would like to request this cloth minifigure collar. I've checked everywhere and could not find the file for this piece.

Part 20551 - Minifigure, Cape Cloth, High Rounded Collar


I don't exactly know how to create this part myself, but I'm open to learning! 

Mr. Melkert

Just for some background...

I am developing a LDraw game that uses JBrickable connection data to snap to location.

I have successfully implemented connector location data for the LDraw bricks and the parts connect at the locations I need. 

I am running into a problem where I would need to check for collisions between the meshes to see if the position is okay to place.

Obviously, the LDraw meshes are concave and I cannot find collision detection between two concave meshes.

For example:

This would be okay...

i have tried lsculpt but that uses tiles only unless there is a way to convert it to bricks

Does anyone have this torso:

Seems the change of transparent material brought also a lot of changes to the design-IDs.

I had ordered a few patterned "Dish 6 x 6 Inverted - No Studs with Handle" that we used to know as 18675, however to my annoyance they sound a bit cheap if you drop them on a table compared to the old (PC) ones, but they also have a new number, 35173. BL even lists a 35191

How do we organise the printed parts?

Keep on authoring them for 18675 to get a proper overview?

I would prefer to keep them as 18675 and add a keyword for the new design-ID, at least they will then pop-up in the search.

What do you think?

I made .dat and tested it in stud.io. 
How do I submit it to ldraw.org?
On the parts tracker side under "submit" it just says:

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

btw, the part I made:
Motorcycle Chassis, Snowmobile 37496

Has anyone got a part 63965 handy and able to get some quick measurements? I think the short end of the bar combined with the stop ring should add up to 24 LDU, one full brick height. Currently it comes to 25.5 (of which 7.5 is the ring thickness and the remaining bar length is 18).

For an official usage showing this, see set 21028, step 73. The bar fits fully inside the Travis brick, flush to the top of its hollow stud (underside of the 1x1 plate), such that the 1x1 round brick can still snap on to the bottom.
