  LDraw.org Official Parts Library Specifications
Posted by: Philippe Hurbain - 2020-07-18, 10:10 - Forum: Official File Specifications/Standards - Replies (1)

There is a slight ambiguity here:

Quote:Filenames must not be longer than 25 characters (including the extension) and must only contain the following characters:
a-z, 0-9, _,-
Is the . before extension included or not in the 25 characters? And obviously that . is allowed only for extension marking.
Since the extension is .dat anyway we could factor it out...

Quote:Overlapping and Intersecting Line Types
For clarity purpose, it might be interesting to mention that edge overlapping a primitive condline is alliowed, as well as condline overlapping a primitive condline on the end ("complementary condline)

Quote:These parts are typically modelled as a series of discrete part pieces that are then "formed" to simulate curvature. This places them in the shortcut category, and their descriptions will follow the rules outlined for shortcuts (i.e. use of the "~" character).
Flexible part fall into "shortcuts with moving parts" so generally the segment parts shouldn't use the "~" character.

  L3P -check page revised and renamed
Posted by: Orion Pobursky - 2020-07-18, 5:03 - Forum: Parts Authoring - Replies (2)

I've updated the former "L3P -check Messages" page on the PT to use the new chart we developed at the Billund Meeting. This page has been renamed to "Common Error Check Messages" and the table is sortable. For legacy purposes, the URL (https://www.ldraw.org/library/tracker/ref/l3pmsg/) will remain the same until I move the entire PT reference section (Prim Ref excluded) to the main site.

  New Official Library Part Number Spec and Updated Official Library Spec
Posted by: Orion Pobursky - 2020-07-18, 4:17 - Forum: LDraw.org Announcements - No Replies

As part of a larger effort to streamline and consolidate the rules for authoring parts, the LDraw.org Standard Board (LSB) has ratified an update to the document formerly known as "File Format Restrictions for the Official Library".

It's new name is "LDraw.org Official Parts Library Specifications" and can be found here:
https://www.ldraw.org/article/512.html

While there is not much new in terms of actual rules, this is a complete rewrite of this document incorporating several different documents. Rules that have been adopted by the LSB but only documented here on the forums or in out of the way areas of the main site have been added or clarified. Additionally, there new rules for patterned part descriptions, patterned part !KEYWORDS, and sticker shortcuts.

A new specification has also be ratified: "Official Library Part Number Specification", https://www.ldraw.org/part-number-spec.html
This document details the part numbering rules for the official library and, like the library spec, incorporates rules from several different sources.

It it our hope that these two documents, in addition to the "Official Library Header Specification", make it easier for parts authors to create parts for inclusion in the LDraw Official Library by locating the rules in one centralized place.

With the ratification of these two specs, several pages on the main site and Parts Tracker reference section have been retired and archived. Every effort has been made prevent accidental access to these pages. If you find an incorrect or broken link or you find yourself on a page that you think is out of date, please let the admin know so we can fix the problem.

Additionally, if you find minor administrative errors (spelling, grammar, formatting, etc...) in these documents (or anywhere else) please start a thread in the Website Discussion Forum.

  Request for help with military theme torsos
Posted by: Fabiano - 2020-07-17, 9:55 - Forum: Part Requests - No Replies

Hello! I'm starting in this fantastic world of drawings and cad projects for Lego. I am doing work with characters and environments from WWII and I have observed, in all the programs I use, that there are no accessories for this theme. My biggest difficulty is getting the torsos of the minifigures with military uniforms (in fact, it is not even a specific problem of WWII; I cannot find these models for any army at any time). I wonder if there is an "unofficial" catalog with these parts - since the Lego iconography with the theme of wars and armies is quite rich, as you can see on Flickr and other social networks - or if it is possible that I myself build these models for later rendering. Thank you in advance for your attention!

  The word Pattern in descriptions
Posted by: Magnus Forsberg - 2020-07-15, 21:10 - Forum: Official File Specifications/Standards - Replies (5)

Isn't it written somewhere where the word Pattern should be placed in the description?
If not, should there be a rule?
