Hi, I'm an adult Lego fan, just downloaded Bricksmith aiming to start saving simple models for my kids.
I also downloaded the latest ldraw library (jan'18)
I bought set 21030 recently and would like to use only its parts. However, the part names in the instruction manual do not match those of the library.
For example, a standard 2x4 white plate has number 302001, 3020 in library. Or 1x4 studded white fence, 6047813 vs 15332 in library 
Am I doing something wrong? is it possible to match up parts?
Regards,

Hi guys

I begin to creat this shield -->
https://forums.ldraw.org/thread-7354-pos...l#pid28341

Now I read here --->
http://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptdetail.cg...385pe0.dat

the disscussion about the barcode on the shield.
Now the question: Should I draw the shield now with or without the code?


Since I have created a template for the edge and the part in LDPC, because I want to draw more shields, it's not a problem either with or without code.

This tutorial describes how to use LD Part Editor to make a random shape sticker from a pattern drawn with LD Pattern Creator.

I have noticed that the ldraw parts models are missing the cavities under studs that you see on a regular brick or plate (see the attached image). Is there some way I can either redfine studs.dat or some other way I can easily get those onto all the pieces in the parts database?

I have successful run on both Windows 7 x64 /host/ and Windows XP x86 /emulated/. But when comes to run under LDCad is fail.

Has anyone created either of these parts?

Cloth Minifigure Skirt #16816 and #99257


Having trouble finding in the library.
Trying to find a dat file for either of these to create a custom pattern for them using Ldraw Pattern Creator

I note that LDD has the Kilt version of this piece 99257pb01 in the folded form ready to use.
Does LCad allow the use of folded versions of these as I can only find flat versions of the cloth caps so far.

Thanks in advance
Adam

I just uploaded a new build of the old commandline tool inliner to my webspace.

I hope all the bad experiences in the past are now gone .

You can download it from ldraw.heidemann.org

Please leave your comments for other users and me here.

Hi

this is nothing big. I just wanted to share a video of my first LDcad model. Since my first contact with LDraw.org I have the idea to design and hopefully later build a large spaceship. This door mechanism shall be integrated into it. A big thankyou to Roland for his great work. It is really fun to design things, to animate them and to render them. I just miss the space navigator integration

Hi

Maybe this is a very beginner question  but LDcad offers me a variety of colours for every brick. This is nice because it gives freedom for designing models but I always ask myself whether a specific brick is available in a specific colour. I remember that MLcad offered only some colours depending on the part.

 Is there an easy way in LDcad to see/switch to the fabricated colours?
