Hi all,

Its been a while since I've been here, but I am still into LDraw!
For a new model I need this very new part:
http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=20310
It is only used (or going to be used) in http://brickset.com/sets/41098-1/Emma-s-Tourist-Kiosk which is brand new too.
Can someone make a mockup or create the part?
I can provide hi-res pictures if needed.

Thanks!

Jaco

I could not find the (3) 5541 set stickers, anyone working on those, I think they are fairly easy to make (except maybe the license plate one).

I would appreciate it if these stickers made it into the library at some point (goes for all the missing model team stickers)

Thanks.

Hello,

I'm just releasing LDPartEditor 0.8.1b Beta I will try to release a new version each month or earlier.

Greetings LDraw Friends,

Aside from providing links to BrickLink/BrickSet images, is there anything I can do to help part author volunteers to meet part requests?

For example, does a part author need to physically have the part and 3D-scan it? Such as Sabine's hair (from the Ezra Speeder Bike set):

Hello LDraw Community!

I have created a relaxing PC game called The Bricksperience. You are a minifig and build sets. There is no goal apart from completing the build. Afterwards you get rewarded with Bricksperience points which you can use to unlock new features so bigger sets won't be an everlasting challenge.

Why I post this here? Because it uses LDR files as input! There are two buttons in the miscellaneous options menu to export all the available bricks from the game as either an LDD palette or an LDR file. That way you can put in your own files and build them.

The game is currently released as version 1.2. You can get some impressions here if you don't want to download it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6NC_URn7EQ

And some pictures:

If you decide to give it a try, I'd be very glad when you would let me know what you think!

I've just installed the AIOI package on my laptop (windows 8, 64 bit, directly in the c:/ drive) and I can't seem to open mlcad or lpub. mlcad keeps asking for a parts or p directory, I browse to the parts folder and hit 'ok' and I get diddly. LPub wants me to 'browse for folders"... but it doesn't tell me what folders. LView worked fine, LFind is building databases as I type this...

What am I doing wrong?

UPDATE: Fixed-my LDraw folder somehow got dumped in C:/Public/Documents, and MLCAD was pissed it couldn't find it. Moved it to C:/ proper, pointed it to LDraw, and it worked.

Perhaps I'm missing something, but other than extremely minor cosmetic differences, these two LDraw tiles appear to be duplicates of the same part.

   

I've been tinkering around with the template in an attempt to make it more useful for the admins and a little less boxy. If any of the changes cause problems (they shouldn't since most are CSS stuff) let me know. Also if you have anything that's annoying about the forums from a template standpoint let me know and I'll try to address if I can.

With the 1.5 version of LDCad I decided to take another approach then my usual beta versions followed by a 'stable' one.

I wanted to give people the opportunity to play with some of the new features while other are still under construction. Downside of this all is an Alpha version might be less stable then beta ones.

This 1.5 Alpha version houses 2 of the 4 planned major features. Both are pretty much 100% complete but might need some additional fine tuning, so any feedback is appreciated.

The features are:
Window overlay / docking

LDraw source window

Note: To undock a window grab it by some of it's 'dead space', To dock a window hold down the ctrl key at the location you want it to be. Optionally you can also lock the configuration (from the gui menu) to prevent accidental unlocking.

There are also many small features / tweaks, like:
improved scroll bar behavior
Part bin appearance tweaks (allows for a much smaller bin width and horizontal orientation)
And may of the smaller feature requests made in the 1.4b forum thread.

For a full list of all changes read the changeLog.txt file.

You can download the latest Alpha version (from now on) at:

Please let me know your thoughts.
