Dear all,
I wish everybody in our community a Merry Christmas.


Best regards

PS.: Thanks to Philo for creating the face pattern and 30841.dat that quick!

I've begun to dip my toe into authoring parts. I've submitted a couple of stickers since they appear to be an easier place to start than a physical part. I'm in the process of authoring a round sticker and I'm seeking some guidance/recommendations to try to make the review process easier for whomever reviews my future submissions.

The image below shows the sticker within LD Pattern Creator. The colours do not match the sticker's true colours but have been set for the purpose of this discussion. At the moment, the green triangles are defined using a 2-4disc primitive. 



The things I am seeking guidance on are;
1) is it better to use primitives in stickers rather than an equivalent specification of triangle/quad line types?
2) if so, (and primarily for my education) is there any technical advantage in doing so other than a smaller resulting part file?

Thank you.

Regards,

David

Looking for the Tauntaun body. I see the horns and reins, but no body?

Hello Everyone

After reading the OMR file Specification the nineteeth time, I am a little confused:
Under File Header is this written:

File Headers

Each individual model file in the MPD that does not represent an unofficial part must have the following standard header format.
Standard Header:

A Unity plugin for LDRAW has been developed
(you can let your browser translate the page)

here is the code:
https://github.com/CGDevsCommunity/LDraw_Imporer_Unity

I was happy to accidentially learn
that there is a Pull Request for three.js
which adds LDRAW support.

this tweet even shows that we were not known
to the developer before

here is the Pull Request:

An idea .... not more:

Many necessary small changes to already submitted files, finally always lead to an email-rain to the admin ...

What would be.....,


a)  with the supervision of an experienced reviewer


.... if a reviewer would have the opportunity to release an "X" button to the component of a respective author, who would then be able to use this one-time delete function.

...only for this one specified file on the tracker and thus relieve the admin.


or b)


This delete function would be generally allowed to any author ,limited to his own files.



What do you think?

The 2018-02 Parts Update, and many of the most recent updates, have relied heavily upon a small number of reviewers, who assess the submitted parts for completeness, accuracy, compliance to the standards and demonstrate a logical approach to naming and subparting. The numbers of certify reviews by each reviewer on files released in update 2018-02 were as follows:

  599 MMR1988
  573 MagFors
  332 Steffen
  327 Philo
   68 arezey
   52 Holly-Wood
   20 GeraldLasser
   15 BlackBrick89
    9 mikeheide
    6 mkennedy
    2 theJudeAbides
    2 dulcaoin

As with part authoring, this is not a competition, but it would help to reduce the backlog if we could get more active reviewers onboard.

There is no rigid assessment process, but we do expect candiates to have demonstrated authoring skills, show an understanding and acceptance of the Official Library Standards and be able to provide constructive feedback to authors.

Please contact me or reply here if you feel you have these abilities and are able to contribute.
