i don’t know if this is a repeated thread

since i have a huge nostalgic feeling from the models i had from my childhood (even those from 60’s, still were on sale when i was a child), did anyone tried to start to build and organize these models in .ldr files?

i guess that most of the instructions of these models can be find at http://lego.brickinstructions.com/en/showallyears

i’m starting to index them at:
https://etherpad.net/p/LegoModelsFrom60s
https://etherpad.net/p/LegoModelsFrom70s (2 models there)
https://etherpad.net/p/LegoModelsFrom80s

thanks a lot indeed!

Hello gracious part makers.

Does anybody feel like making 18895?  No big deal if not, but it would be nice.
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/cat...=18895#T=C


Of more importance to me, could somebody work on some of the stickers from the two Audi Speed Champions sets?  I really am just looking for the Audi logo.

Thank you all.

Do anyone know, or remember why,  there are two different subfiles to 32086?

32086 use 32086s01.dat twice, in i mirrored position. 
32086ps1 use 551s01.dat once + two different pattern subfiles, 551ps1a and 551ps1b

I want to make 32086ps1 BFC compliant and correct other issues.
My idea is to change both parts, and replace 32086s01 with the content from 551s01. It's the better version.
And I want to inline the two pattern subiles and make them obsolete.

But how do I merge the History of the two subfiles, 32086s01 and 551s01?
What do I do of 551s01? Should it become obsolete too, or do I need to make it a Move to-file?

I had a look at this oddball model: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.ph...nt=2825330 and noticed that the author uses parts that have disappeared from parts tracker, namely x913 and x914.
Using this query http://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/tracker/act...s/x914.dat I see that x914 was renamed as parts/3142s04.dat, but this reference is not available either... and this query http://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/tracker/act...142s04.dat doesn't show any delete or file name change, but parts/3142s04.dat is no longer on PT...

Finally, Peeron links x913/x914 to parts 31057/31050 but these are... Duplo dinosaurs !!!????


Any hint???

Hey,

Change log:

New features:

Hi all,

Again, something about texture mapping... this time, on transparent parts.

When I create that, the pattern is also rendered a little transparent in LDCad.

In LDView, the plane where the texture is on becomes a little opaque.

Can this effect be undone?


Thanks again.

Hello, I was wondering if this part was already made in LDraw? I am new here and so far I have been unable to find the classic Boba/Jango Fett Helmet (the combined open visor helmet and jetpack piece).

http://rebrickable.com/parts/x50px1/mini...ighlights/

If this part is not available yet, I would love to see it in LDraw in the future if that is possible.

-Thank you for your time and amazing work,

~Sean

Hi,

This is my first time here. I am looking for a way to add additional option for LSynth in MLCad. Iam trying to add WeDo2.0 Power Functions Cable into the current configuration. I managed to design the .dat file by modify LS70.dat and save it as LS72.dat. Now, i would like to add the new option whenever i am using the MLCad.

Here is the thing i have tried:

1. I add some additional code for Lsynth.mpd from “C:\Program Files (x86)\LDraw\LSynth\bin”. For the record, I did not know where to place the “ldr” file which written there. I search my whole computer for similar file, I did not find it.

2. I tried to modify MLCad.ini from "C:\Users\Public\Documents\Ldraw"
