hello while i had said this in one of my 57579 uploads i would say it again.
does anyone own either 57579pb01 or 57579pb02 and is up for a photo shoot
i have come across images but they are either
good printing but not usable for (sorry for how weird i worded it) or is a good ref but print is misaligned
want top front and side pics
bye

The rules suggest to post an intro, so...

I've been enjoying building with LEGO since the late 70's, with a particular love of Classic Space.

LDraw is a delightfully nerdy application of all that is great about LEGO and the Internet.  I'm looking forward to participating!

A thread for Star Wars sets released in 2025

Hi again,

Another (old) error brought out on the Studio forums: part

71613 Electric Light & Sound Brick  4 x 12 x  2 Laser Drill  (formerly and for BL 30346c01) 

is too high by 1 plate.
As the description says it’s supposed to be 2 bricks high… but the 3D model is 1 plate more.

User provided a pic (Google drive, link in the post) of the real part.

hola

i want this part

  250x250p.jpg (Size: 7.04 KB / Downloads: 30)
its ammo (57525) is in the tracker though
there are 3 ids for this assembly that being
57522 the red plunger
57523 the silver blaster
57524 the dbg barrel
bye

Hi all,

57792 Cylinder  6 x  3 x 10 Half with Taper and Four Pin Holes

needs a small fix on its bottom: it collides with studs (external, flat side; not with the special notches).  The problem has been noticed when trying to build set 7990-1 in Studio.

I don’t know how the real part looks exactly but there’s a picture on Rebrickable that would indicate the shape is correct (that is, there’s no notches for the studs), so the problem would be the radius of the base or the thickness of the wall there.

Anyway, thanks to anyone who would tackle that 

I'm seeking your wise advice on proper file paths (relative or absolute) for the various LDraw tools, and why they don't seem to behave the same between themselves.

In my ldraw folder I have these sub-directories, among others:
p/
parts/
Unofficial/
User/

Unofficial (for uncertified tracker parts) and User (for my own parts) each have their own p/ and parts/ subfolders, so they are both valid ldraw libraries. User also has a number of subfolders for parts authoring projects.

So I'm working on a part in one of those project folders in the User library, and it uses a custom primitive that is also in the User library (obviously in User/p/). To get this primitive to appear in LDPE, I have to give it this path: User\p\48\prim.dat. Some notes:

• User is set at the "parts authoring" folder in LDPE, and Unofficial is set as the "Unofficial" folder (even though they're both unofficial libraries).
  
• LDPE creates its own "ldparteditor-temp-project" folder, which I'm not using (never found the reason to). It's located outside my ldraw folder.
  
• I've used relative paths in LDPE before, but for some reason ..\p\48\prim.dat doesn't work.
  

I need 18 copies of a hollow cylinder with a ring at the end for a particular part that I'm working on. Stud2.dat has the correct dimensions when scaled with an integer. However, the purpose of the stud2 primitive is to standardize the implementation of studs to which other parts can connect. Can I use the stud2 primitive for these hollow cylinders or is it reserved for connectivity-studs only?

hola i have never used pathtruder before

these are the test and the settings but when i hit ok it says nothing happened

have i did something wrong?

   

Hello all aspiring part authors

Have you thought about becoming a part author, but haven't found parts that are easy enough to model?
There are a number of low-hanging fruits (easy parts) you could author. I strongly recommend beginning with authoring parts that you own so you can observe the shapes in detail and do measurements.

* 41759 Duplo Hand Sign
Use 31925s01.dat for the base and handle. The outer diameter of the large circle is 80 LDU. Remember to subfile for patterning.

* 60776/10563 Duplo Container Box 2 x 4 x 2 Door with Handle
Use ddoorhinge2.dat for the hinges and 18816s01.dat for the handle. The door should be 5 LDU thick, 160 LDU wide, and you have to measure the height.

* 18806/60775 Duplo Container Box 2 x 4 x 2 with Open Sides
Use ddoorhinge.dat for the hinge socket.

* 27372 Duplo Disk with Handles
This is in principle an easy part. However, there is currently not a primitive for the handle. One should be created.
The same handle groove can be found on e.g. 46376 fire extinguisher with elaborate handle (2 grooves only), 24806 camera, 35092 milk bottle with handle, and 27383 cup with stud inside.

* 24417 Duplo Dog Sled
There are some curves, but they should be rather easy to figure out. The front handle has three grooves like the disk, but on a longer cylinder.
The same handle groove can be found on e.g. 46376 fire extinguisher with elaborate handle (2 grooves only), 24806 camera, 35092 milk bottle with handle, and 27383 cup with stud inside.

Disclaimer. While these parts were not on the parts tracker at the time of writing this post, they may have been added since. There may be more parts which are easy to model but not listed here.
