Hi, I was wondering. Is it possible to change the behaviour of middle mouse button to be panning instead of opening the menu? When transitioning from other programs I tend to press it all the time. I mean a setting, not changing the defaults for everyone.

Hello everybody,  I posted some patterned parts recently, and I know that I wont have the time to make more like some of you (Hi to Takeshi and Rene who greeted me on the PT). 

But I have a question : does it exist a place, somewhere on the forum ( and if not, could it be usefull to create such a place), where we can post pictures of paterned parts we own, to allow other authors to create them if they can/want.

The same question goes for stickers sheets.

Respectfully requesting the following Duplo Castle parts:

16685 Duplo Brick 1 x 4 x 2 with 2 Top Cutouts,
  6428 Duplo Panel 1 x 2 x 1 2/3 Sloped with Embossed Gauges,
51695 Duplo Wall 1 x 8 x 6 Hinge on Left with Door Opening - Castle,
51697 Duplo Wall 1 x 8 x 6 Hinge on Right with Window Opening - Castle,
51698 Duplo Plate 3 x 4 x 2 1/3 Rampart,
52024 Duplo Wall 4 x 6 x 6 Curved Turret - Castle,
52025 Duplo Roof Spire - Castle,
52027 Duplo Roof Turret Top - Castle,
57888 Duplo Support Column 2 x 2 x 6 Round with Open Latticed Back.

Thanks in advance!

Hi everybody,

I created a part for 3D printing and with LDPartEditor it works in LDCad but in LPub3D it just looks like a cube. Do you have any comments?

Thank you!

A thread for Star Wars sets released in 2024

Hey,

this release implements two wishes from Philo regarding the marquee selection.

Download and install the latest LDPatternCreator release directly from sourceforge.net.
Any previous version should be uninstalled first. Your program configuration will be preserved.

Change log:

New features:

• Ctrl+marquee only adds objects to the selection.
  
• No vertex is created in triangle creation mode when you miss a vertex with the marquee.
  

Since we had only 5 confirmed nominees, no election was necessary.

Therefore, the 2024/2025 LDraw.org Steering Committee [1] is:

Philippe Hurbain
Gerald Lasser
Orion Pobursky
Max Martin Richter
Willy Tschager

[1] Try not to confuse the LDraw.org Steering Committee (SteerCo) with the LDraw.org Standards Board (LSB). The Steering Committee sets the course for the LDraw Organization while the Standards Board deals with the LDraw File Format.

Congratulations to all reconfirmed members!

I'm getting "500 server error" any time I try to click on the URL for specific parts on the Parts Tracker. 

I can see the PT Activity page just fine, but when I click on a specific part, "500 server error"... 

Please help.  :-(  

Thanks, 
Franklin

Hello all,

I have made custom parts using direct conversions of STL and OBJ files, as well as made assemblies of currently existing parts. I would like to dive in further to help out with getting new parts both recently released as well as missing parts from the past. 

Is there a beginner's guide for this kind of thing? 

The first thing I notice is that many of the box primitives are sized 2LDU in one or more directions thus making any real measurements being taken having to then be divided by 2. Is there some reason behind this? I come from a manufacturing background so I like my models to not have to have additional steps to read and understand their measurements. Does the underlying reason for this propagate through out the LDraw system?

Off to read more. Thanks for taking time to help a newbie.

There's been some confusion and discussion about the codes after the p/c/d parts. 

Composites © and Sticker shortcuts (d)  do not have themes. These suffixes should use the first available code starting with 00. 

Historically, patterns (p) have had their suffixes in themes. These parts can continue to be assigned to the next available in those legacy themes. If the theme is used up (e.g. p00-p0z exist) then the author can assign whatever code is available regress of theme.

Once all of the p/c/d00-zz codes are used for a given part number, we will progress to using p/c/dXXXX codes.

The library spec will be updated shortly to reflect this change.
