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.

It contains the following changes:

* Update to LDraw Parts Libary 2018-02

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
https://en.wikipedia.org

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.

Request the following:
32602, Minifigure, Hair Wavy and Windblown to One Side
This appears to be in LDD (or at least digitalbricks)

Hi all,
it's only a couple of week that I've discovered this fantastic world of LEGO CAD and related applications.
But I also found that there is little choices for who like me only posses an OS X computer :-(

What I found so far is LDD (not officially maintained anymore and not LDraw compatible), BrickLink Studio (that doesn't support retina displays) and LeoCAD (that it failed to load what I needed, and no snap feature).

So, I was wondering if I'm missing something out there for OS X ... and if it's truly the truth that most of the LDraw community is working on Windows only ;-)

Thanks,
Gianluca.
