Is there a way to search for parts/subparts that have had a hold vote for more than 3 months?

Can the results be filtered to include only such part authors that haven't logged on in the last 3 months?

In recent days, Philippe Hurbain has added three of the four new Bluetooth-based LEGO Science parts to the parts Tracker.  I'm personally excited to see LEGO finally moving to USB-C for charging their devices, as well as curious to see how well the device-to-device Bluetooth connectivity works in practice.

Assuming that these devices continue to connect with Host PC and with each other using the LEGO Wireless Protocol - it might be possible to control them using a Spike Hub, or even a City hub running PyBrick firmware.  (If anyone has any info on the protocols used or compatibility with other Powered Up hubs, let me know)

In any event, one of the parts is still not on the tracker, and I would like to include all four of the new parts in my LEGO Parts Guide.  (I believeive the guide will be especially useful to educators.)

Missing Part: 115901 (Remote Control, Science)


Thanks again for the tremendous throughput of new parts in recent months!

There are a number of wheels with an outer diameter of around 30mm, but they are very inconsistently described as 30mm or 30.4mm across different websites.  I noticed that LDraw is the most consistent here, using 30 (mm) for all four of these parts.  (Within MLCad they appear to be exactly the same width.)

1. Are they actually the same size, or are they actually measurably different?
2. Even if they are ever-so-slightly different, is 0.4mm so small that almost nobody cares?
3. Does LDraw prefer technically accurate measurements, or is it generally preferred to nudge measurements ever-so-slightly to make the system work better together?

I would like to make my part naming both technically correct and consistent.

Hi,

Does anyone have a good photo of these two drawings?

Can anyone point me to the specifications/rules for obsoleted parts? (It might be easy pickings to get off the tracker...)

Since I am not great at 3D modelling, I still wanted to give back to the community, I decided to order a 3D scanner so some of the older parts can be scanned since there is quite a lot missing from 2000 - 2020 from when there were no 3D models available. Some of the very old stuff was also hand measured so I dunno if those will want replacing since it depends how often anyone even uses those old parts really.

The scanner I will be getting is the Creality Raptor Pro.

So is there any particular preference of things that people would like scanned to start with?

If I scan the parts would someone be willing to get them ready so they can be added to the tracker?

Reducing the meshes to some kind of sensible size should be something I can do.

Would it be possible to have another sublevel in the Primref meny?
I want to have direct links under 

Curved Primitives
  -- Three dimensional
    --- Cylindrical
    --- Conical
    --- Torus/Spherical

Second request.

The sorting of the Mixed-Mode Tori is not correct.
All mixed mode torus primitives are by definition Hi-Res primitives. Now they are sorted some as Regular, and some as Hi-res.


Third.

There's a low res torus in the 8-folder, missing on the Primref page.

Wondering if anybody could get on to getting part 2589pb01 (Koala) to be created in the database? Making an Australia Moc and this part would be helpful.

Thanks!

Hi, I would expect these would be in the parts library but I can't find them. In BrickLink it's Tile, Round 1 x 1 with Black Capital Letter A Pattern (Item No: 98138pb211  Alternate Item No: 35381pb211) and the rest of the letters/numbers/symbols continue from there. I used these in a MOC and want to make a digital version of that MOC.

Do we have these in LDraw at all? How do I find them if so?
Also, the "READ ME FIRST - Part Request guidelines" post (closed thread, so mentioning it here) has a dead link to digital-bricks.de. Has that resource found a new home or is it just gone?

The code
1 16 0 0 10 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 stug-1x4.dat
1 16 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 stug-1x3.dat
1 16 0 0 -10 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 stug-1x2.dat
produces this:

Based on the description below, I would have expected that the number of studs in the Z-direction would have changed. To my surprise, the number of studs in the x-axis increased. I suspect the official reference guide is wrong about stud groups. I'm also unhappy that the reference guide doesn't tell me from which direction the logos are readable (they're actually sideways).

Stud groups are provided to reduce the size of part files with many regularly spaced studs. The naming convention is stugN-XxZ.dat, where:

    N = type of stud (regular stud, hollow stud, underside stud, etc.)
    X = number of studs on the x axis
    Z = number of studs on the z axis

To prevent an overload of the library with excessive combinations, the numbers on the x and z axis are limited to:

    1xZ stugs
    Xx1 stugs (Due to stud orientation you cannot rotate a 1xZ stud group by 90 degrees to get a Xx1 stud group)
    XxZ stugs where X = Z
