There are no subpart textures on the PT right now (or in the official library) but I'd like to figure this out before it becomes an issue. I think the way the PT is handling subpart textures is wrong.

The UI on the PT submit page lists "\parts\s\textures" as the subpart texture file path

However the !TEXMAP spec states "a search for the specified texture file will first be attempted after adding a "textures\" prefix to the filename". By my reading this means subpart textures files should be in "parts\textures\s".

A model viewer has been added to the LDraw.org website. This new tool will allow you to upload a model and view it in your browser. It's fairly basic at the moment but functionality will continue to be added.

It can be found in the Tools menu on the LDraw.org main site (click the red brick logo above) or directly here:
https://www.ldraw.org/tools/ldraw-model-viewer.html

This new feature is a continuation of an effort started with the LDCad PBG Generator to bring a series of useful tools to the LDraw.org website. Future plans include an model OMRizer and a part error checker.

As always, feature requests and improvements can be posted in the Website Suggestions forums.

Orion,

please restore:

Best would be in a subpage in "About Us" along with moving the "About Us" to its own subpage.

The 2020-01 LDraw Parts Update has been now been released. This adds 771 new files to the core library, including 444 new parts and 22 new primitives. Updated versions of the colour definition files (LDConfig.ldr and LDCfgalt.ldr) that have been available for download since May are included in this release.

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. 

You can preview the new parts in 2020-01 here, and download the zip-file update or Windows install package here. Alternatively you can use the LDView menu option File | Check for Library Updates... to install the update.

Is the prefix supposed to be "|" or "*".

This post says "*" but don't know if we changed it later:

I'm fine with either, just want to update the header spec.

Our web host updated the server software last night. We are aware of and are working to resolve issues with some areas of LDraw.org, specifically activity.cgi on the PT. If you notice any other oddities, please let us know.

I made the nunchuck from the Series 20 guy, now how to number it?

BS lists the part as 61700.

The chain-links can be recycled from the normal chains, 30104k02.dat

The end-link from the  nunchuck is a dual-mold piece.

So it could be numbered as
- 61700s01, the top with the chain
- 61700c01k01, the top plus the cylinder (Cylinder uses hard-coded color, e.g. black)
- 61700c01-f1, Complete Shortcut Black handled plus a color 16 end-links and links

I have completed the lower Body of the Minion Figures. Now how to number them.

On Brickset, each body has its own DesignID and on Bricklink, there only an inventory of the standard figures and they use 67644, so this blue trousers are 67644p01.

The 67644 is embossed on the feet, which is the only visible number.

In total there must have been three injections, yellow inside, Outside trousers and the feet.

Here's a suggestion for the breakdown:
-> Should Colour1 and Colour2 be a u-number or simply another 67644 sub-part?
   

Here are the available bodies so far:
From left to right, Brickset Numbering: 68995, 69042, 69036
->Should they be numbered as 67644p0x?
   

Same goes for the heads...

Thanks
Gerald

We need images for the Cylindrical and Spherical TEXMAP projections. If you want to redo the one for Planar to make the style consistent, that's fine too. 

Here's the spec:
