  Stud8 primitive
Posted by: Peter Blomberg - 2024-10-29, 23:22 - Forum: Official File Specifications/Standards - Replies (3)

Currently, the stud8.dat primitive (Duplo hollow underside stud) results in a too thin cylinder. Widely used, yes, but the thinness leads some parts authors to use the stud4.dat primitive instead. The stud4 primitive produces a cylinder wall thickness comparable to the 4 LDU of most walls. Compare e.g. the undersides of 15515, 98220, 31066, and 15516.

The real parts have most curved walls slightly thinner than the 4 LDU of rectangular bricks, whereas the underside stud cylinder walls are even thinner, but not as thin as the current stud8 primitive.

What do you think about updating the stud8 primitive to having a slightly thicker wall? Perhaps 3 LDU instead of the current 2 LDU?

  LDraw.org 2024-09 Parts Update Now Available
Posted by: Orion Pobursky - 2024-10-27, 2:06 - Forum: LDraw.org Announcements - Replies (5)

The 2024-09 LDraw Parts Update has been released. This update adds 593 new files to the core library, including 405 new parts and 15 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 starts our roll out of full minifig torso shortcuts.

You can preview the new parts in 2024-09 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.

  How to get CMF parts from builders app
Posted by: DannyBoy - 2024-10-22, 7:28 - Forum: Parts Authoring - Replies (1)

I do know how to extract parts from sets, but I also noticed some CMF part say that the original part shape is from LEGO Instructions App with the most recent example being the snowman mask from series 23 but the builder app doesn't even have a pdf let alone a 3d model for minifigure series. So I figured there must be some other way to get them if so i would like to know how

  error w/ site domain ??
Posted by: Franklin W. Cain - 2024-10-21, 16:45 - Forum: General LDraw.org Discussion - Replies (3)

For whatever reason, the site domain "ldraw.org" is not working for me. Obviously, the sub-domain for these forums is working, just not the "parent" domain... 

Any ideas? 

Thanks, 
Franklin

I am making custom minifigures and I'm really missing these hair pieces and would be very thankful if someone added them preferably star from top to bottom.
