It also provides a partial instruction for 4 models (originally unnamed) could be built from combination of this sets:
I need some assistance, please. For a specific model I'm working on, I need to plot out two lengths of Technic flexible tubing (specifically, to serve as fuel lines for the model in question.)
I've managed to plot the general path of the tubing, as show in this image.
Here is the current version of the complete model:
The 2024-08 LDraw Parts Update has been released. This update adds 864 new files to the core library, including 540 new parts and 12 new primitives.
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. This update wouldn't have been possible without their dedication and attention to detail.
This update also includes a new LDConfig with Dark Bluish Grey Rubber and a better defined Fabuland Red
You can preview the new parts in 2024-08 here, and download the zip-file update or Windows install package here.
Thank you to all the testers and parts authors who continue giving feedback on the new PT software. This project would not be what it is without your help.
the large Lego elves dragon head, along with the other Lego elves animal heads as seen here I cannot figure out if it uses the same jaw as the smaller head though, I believe the main smaller head mold has already been uploaded though
I have been looking for the L Draws of these parts for a while now I need them for my digital brickfilm character design process
and I would like printless / blank versions
also idk how to pm users so can somone get me the invite link for the discord from orion
Hey guys could someone please add Beast's hair to the parts list? I need to make him for a future posts but I don't think there's a model of his hairpiece anywhere.
Bricklink code: 103757pb01
With this release the following critical issues are fixed:
Descriptions containing a hashtag # are modified by unrelated quick fixes.
The movement type of the manipulator changes if, during the move, the mouse gets close enough to a plane move square.
The CSG tree does not switch back to a higher quality if the manipulator was moved and nothing CSG releated was selected.
The MacOS X ARM installer package was still indicating a 1.8.80 version, but the contents were newer.
The program was tested intensively with "real world" files.
However, something can go wrong in about 140.000 lines of code.

LDPE is a 3D CAD application: The overall system requirements are higher. While I recommend to use a powerful 64-bit multicore system, it could be possible, to run LDPE on older machines as well.
System Requirements:
Minimum System Requirements:
OpenGL 2.1 compatible Graphics Card
Operating System (64-bit): Windows [7 or newer], Linux [e.g. Ubuntu Linux >=14.4], Mac OS X [>=10.6]
CPU: Multicore-Processor e.g. Intel Core 2 Duo or AMD Athlon II (>2.0Ghz)
RAM: 4GB
Video-Memory: 1 GB
Free Disk Space: 150 MB
Recommended Requirements:
Operating System (64bit): Windows 7,8,10,11, Linux [e.g. Ubuntu Linux >=14.4], Mac OS X [>=10.6]
OpenGL 3.3 compatible Graphics Card
CPU: Multicore-Processor with 4 cores (or more)
RAM: >4 GB
Video-Memory: >1 GB
Free Disk Space: 500 MB
For a faster start, LDPartEditor and the LDraw™ library should be installed on an SSD.
