So, I was going to digital-bricks.de recently to get some parts from it, but the entire website seems to be no longer functioning properly.

Does anybody know what happened? Will it be fixed at some point soon, or is it gone for good?

Hi,

I recently updated my MLCad to 3.5 and it appears that my color palette has gone haywire. I can no longer find Dark Purple on the colour chart (I think it is now Medium Lilac?) and I am concerned that my exports to Bricklink are going to be all wrong number wise. As you can see in the image it should be between Dark Pink & Dark Red but????

I would really appreciate any help on solving this issue - I am not a total novice but my only experience with any Cad program is MLCad.

Thank you for reading.

I am loving the new Coaster track and have a few ideas I'd love to try out. The parts already released are perfect but we are sorely missing the 90 degree turn Part 25061. Does anyone know how development is progressing for this part? Can't say how grateful I am to all the parts developers, without their efforts I'd be in the dark ages still.

Would there be any desire for tetrahedron primitives? Here are two I have created. One has 3 faces drawn and all edges, the other has one edge removed.

so i want to creat the parts, Unfortunately, my English is very poor，Can't read tutorials in the forum
Who can help me learn how to make？
btw，i have some parts 3d file，but i don't know how to convert to ldraw .if someone need,can email me linghan512500[at]gmail[dot]com


Thanks a lot

Hi everyone

After making my first experience with designing the door mechanism (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CxlyYJTapKQ) I had the idea to design a compressor and it came in my mind to try a variable displacement compressor. The model is finished and all animations are scripted. It took a while to complete it and a lot of paper to find and solve the trigonometric equations needed for the animations. So I just didn't want to present everything right away. Instead I want to show a short preview video.

And voilà, here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfGCAZ8hAE4


If you like the preview and like to see the final video, please subscribe to my channel. I will go on finishing the final video with animated functions.


Remark: I was quite happy with POV for my door model but for this preview I had to deal with scattering and this consumed a lot of rendering time. Indeed it took a few days to render the 900 frames for this video. So, the final video will not have scattering

Can anyone suggest how to compile a list of LDraw's minifig heads, but only in the colors they were manufactured in? Thanks.

What's the recommended procedure in LDCad to indicate part/assembly placement using arrows, lines, and inset bubbles?  Here's a link to an example:

Needs and Concerns:

• BUFEXCHG is needed?
  
• With and without subfile assemblies?
  
• CLEAR commands needed?
  
• Custom arrows, dashed/dotted lines, bubble callouts, etc?
  
• Prevent part duplication in the parts list?
  
• Clear and understandable rendering in LDCad
  

I recently discovered that the webhost for the forums, wiki, and OMR is actively blocking the IP addresses of most of the exit nodes for the Private Internet Access VPN service. The main site has a different webhost and is unaffected. Currently, if you want to access these 3 parts of ldraw.org while logged into PIA, I have found that Las Vegas, Brazil, the 3 Canadian exit nodes work. There may be others as I didn't test them all. If this is affecting you, I have opened a support ticket with them and will update this post when I know more.
