Dear LDraw users,

Dan Boger and Peeron, our long time web host, have decided to downgrade their server. This will require us to move to a new server of our own. The process of this move has already started (the forums, omr, and wiki are already transferred). Moving the main site, including the Parts Tracker, is more complicated and there may be some downtime while the move is in progress.

Sorry for the inconvenience!

Could some one tell me what is going on here? This snap shot is taken from LDView. Some of the part outline colors on the model are randomly switched. Some black parts have a dark outline while others have a lighter out line, Same with the red and light gray.

I would actually like to make all the black parts show with the lighter outline as I'm trying to get them to show up better when rendering instructions with LPub3D. But the red and light gray should all have the darker outline like normal.

Any help would be appreciated.

The main LDraw.org site including the parts tracker will be down until further notice. Our current host, Peeron, is changing servers, necessitating us to do so as well. We hope to have everything back up by this weekend. Thank you for your patience.

Edit: Turns out it was a technical issue. We are still moving servers but the main site is up for now. Stay tuned.

Hi all,

Since I am not a train builder I am totally new to when it comes to motorized trains.
However for a MOC I am looking in to motorizing a train now.
And I want to use either the "old" Power Functions motor or new PoweredUp motor.

Are these parts made? I cannot seem to find them.
There seem to be many different part numbers for the PF version?


So either this one:

Or this one:
https://brickset.com/parts/design-28740

Thanks so much.

I use the latest version of lpub and found some model is very slow in the step creation, more than 10mins for adjust 1 modification.
Question 1.
I don't know if there is something wrong in my ldr or mpd file as some models by more parts has no problem.
Question 2.
If I want to update the hardware for my PC, what's the most importantk? Memory?

Thanks for your suggestion.

Is it just me, or are the new users das, bharya, and parker spam accounts with a new strategy to try to avoid being insta-deleted? Am I going to have to start completely ignoring the first posts of every new user?

Hello all,

I'm still working on the foundations of LDCad 2 and if time permits I'll soon be starting with the LDraw parser.

So with this in mind I was thinking about possible improvements etc.

As always I'm very interested in what others would like to see supported/different from 1.6 etc.

Things I want myself:

100% official file format support. (mpd/headers/textures/etc)
All the defacto unofficial stuff (like "0 UNOFFICIAL PART" etc)
Some experimental stuff (like "0 !DATA")
LDCad groups
MLCad groups
Buffer exchange
Some or maybe even all LPub meta's.
Local color support (meaning a COLOUR meta will override colors used in following type 1 lines etc )


All input is welcome.
