My reviews today seem to be taking about five or so minutes before they are properly showing in the Parts Tracker.  

Is any one else seeing this problem?  

Thanks,

One of the LDraw projects I've been working on is a modular suite of Jedi Starfighters with Hyperdrive Booster Ring.  (As you can see over in my Gallery at BrickLink: https://www.bricklink.com/v3/studio/publ...idUser=373 )

I've come up with the variations of the Delta-7 Aethersprite (from Ep. 2; from official set 75214) and Eta-2 Actis (from Ep. 3; from official set 7661) Starfighters that I like, and I wanted to share them with you all.  ;-)  

Thanks, 
Franklin

I've come up with the variation of the Hyperdrive Ring (from official set 75191) that I like best, along with two variant "skins" (i.e.: paint schemes) for the ring, proper.  I've modified the external panels of the ring proper, along with adding in some inner panels to match.  I've also made some changes to the engines.  And I added a more stable "base" to the model.  

Now, I know the model still looks incomplete, because we don't yet have a DAT file for the stickers used for the engines' cylinders.  (Also, I made a substitution for the ships' insignia, just for the time being, until we get those stickers coded as well.)  

Still, I'm pleased with this model, and I wanted to share it with you all.  ;-)

Hi all, I'm Dani, a newbie from Spain.

I'm having trouble with "LDraw_AIOI_2018-02_setup_32bit_v1.exe", on finishing setup, after checking file integrity, it shows "M: Installation can't continue, selected unit does not exist"

I'm installing in suggested C:\ path, I also tried another drive, but some message.

Are there another way to install this, even though I have to compile it from source? (In case you've don't get through this error already, or the installer can be debugged somehow)

Thank you for your help.

guys im making a little off road car with suspension.




What i noticed is that when i want to align some parts that are in angle i cant due the grid. its there any trick how to align the part.if i momve the connector "red" the 1x1x1 grid its not thin enough to snap as its expected. and if i move the part the it will not get aligned with the one that its behind.



also is there any trick to align object when they are not aligned?

The LDraw.org Steering Committee is pleased to announce that the 2018 James Jessiman Memorial Award (JJMA) recipient is Michael ‚Mike‘ Heidemann (and I beg your pardon that the announcement comes with a 4 months delay).

Mike found LDraw while he was searching for building instructions for a set his wife had bought for his son. Since he already had a little experience with POV-Ray his interest in making some old sets in LDraw was piqued. Soon he discovered that there were some/many pieces missing from the LDraw Parts Library and he started making them himself.

He is also a passionate collector. His first complete range of LEGO sets was the ZNAP theme. Using his experience in computer programming with visual basic he also wrote some programmes which deal with LDraw files among those the ever useful DatHeader for part authors or MPDCenter for the casual user. Many more can be found on his website.

More information on the JJMA can be found at: http://www.ldraw.org/article/222.html

Hi everyone:

I noticed that part number 4180c04 is missing from the LDraw parts tracker.  On closer inspection, I found 4180c02 (Brick 2 x 4 Black with Train Wheels Small) which is a color-invariant version of the same small train wheel part.

The problem is that both Bricklink and Rebrickable don't use the color-invariant part number in their database; it is listed as a fixed-color black wheel and a separate part for the red wheel.  Consequently, a CAD tool like Studio creates a mismatch when a bill of materials is generated/validated.

I'm not sure what the best approach is to solve this problem, but I thought I would post this query here to start off.  Either a patch in the various Lego databases or a new LDraw part number with a hard-coded color seems in order.
