Hi,

Is there a simple way or set of instructions to turn an .stl file (taken from SketchUp) into a Lego model?  I have used Brickify, however it appears the model is too large to process so the site is hanging.  I did remove unused layers, however that doesn't seem to help.

Unable to load file via the forum, so here is the link to the model via the 3D Warehouse -

Apologies in advance if this topic has been covered and I completely missed it.

Thanks for any and all assistance.

Hi there

After some time again I finally managed to release a video of my compressor. Here it is.

An updated version of the LDraw All-In-One-Installer, in short AIOI, has been released.

The AIOI supports Windows XP (Home and Pro), Windows Vista or higher (all versions). On 64-Bit Operating Systems it will install in the "Program files (x86)" folder. The Installer will NOT run on Windows 95, 98, ME, NT Ver 4, 2000, or XP below SP2.

Hi,

can someone switch the default skin of our Wiki
https://wiki.ldraw.org
back from current "Chameleon" to "Vector", please?
(see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Sk...for_a_wiki how to do it)

"Chameleon" looks ugly + confusing to me, and
even Wikipedia still sticks with "Vector", see

Hi all,

There seems to be an inconsistency in the description of various panels.
I have a model that has a few of this kind of panels:

60581 Panel 1x4x3 with side flanges
87544 Panel 1x2x3 with side supports with hollow studs
87552 Panel 1x2x2 reinforced with hollow studs

Is it me, or do we mean the same with "side flanges", "side supports" and "reinforced"?

IMHO we should choose either one of these 3, preferably "reinforced" I think.

Also the "with hollow studs" is missing from 60581 Panel 1x4x3.

Do we agree to rename the description or is there really a reason to have 3 descriptions for the same thing?

I'm not sure if anyone has tried this before - I searched but couldn't see anything -  but it might be helpful!

My wife needed 18970 (2x2 plate with scallop) in an ldraw model and it's not in the official or unofficial part tracker. It is, however, in Bricklink so I thought it might be in Stud.Io... and it is. So, to make a quick and dirty conversion, I 

• Opened up Stud.Io and inserted the part, then exported it as a Collada file.
  
• Next, a quick trip to www.meshconvert.com to export it out as .ply
  
• Now, I opened up the .ply in lsculpt* and selected the mesh *only*. No plates export
  
• I had to fiddle with the scale a little (8x, in meters worked for some reason)
  

Can anyone point me to where I can find a patterned version of the clone trooper helmet? This part is the helmet I'm looking for:

However, it doesn't have the black and grey patterns as shown in this photo

Our company plan to design the model with 3rd party parts under LEGO system.
Anyone can help to create the parts file like the below picture?
We will pay you for your work. Thanks a lot.

49533, LEGO Windscreen 3 x 6 x 1 Curved with Decoration

This appears to be a patterned version of 62360. I can probably provide a picture once I open the actual set it comes in.
