As part of my initiative to simplify things, I'm combining the following documents into one document and removing anything overly obvious:

https://www.ldraw.org/ptfaq.html

My new draft is here:

Let's discuss what else needs to be in here.

Years ago it was a joke that "LDraw.org opens to LEGO clone bricks":

• PT: Part Class: Third Part Parts
  

1. What is the state of Third Party parts?
   
2. May I design own LEGO-compatible part and pull it to Parts Tracker for including into Parts Library?
   
3. What is the state for including non-LEGO-compatible parts from other construction sets now?
   

I just authored draft of 2335pb024.dat part (from 3825-1 and 3833-1 sets)

I need some assistance, please. For a specific model I'm working on, I need to plot out two lengths of Technic flexible tubing (specifically, to serve as fuel lines for the model in question.) 

I've managed to plot the general path of the tubing, as show in this image. 

   

Here is the current version of the complete model:

I was just about to review this set of prints and I am in kind of a dilemma...

https://library.ldraw.org/sticker-sheets/433

and found a good reference picture:
https://cdn.toypro.com/media/cache/tp_pr...82492.webp

the LDraw files and the reference show the very prominit "black" or rather "dark" line between colours and as outline.

However in the app, there is no such line, i.e. blue is directly next to DGB.

When I look at the photo of the stickers I would rather say keep this specific line, any opinions on this very case?


In other files one can really see that the line was due do accidental overlaps respectively overlaps by design

We have now two almost identical files:


19727p00 - https://library.ldraw.org/tracker/24108


19727p04 - https://library.ldraw.org/tracker/24111

First, this comes only in white:

https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/cat...=1#T=C&C=1

which would require to remove the white square, on the other side we have patterns where we added the color of the part to the pattern.


I would eliminate one of these two patterns, but I don't feel strong about. If both stay the white square has to be added back to 19727p00. Thoughts?

The 2024-08 LDraw Parts Update has been released. This update adds 864 new files to the core library, including 540 new parts and 12 new primitives.

Thanks are due to all the part authors who created or corrected parts for this release. The small, but dedicated, band of reviewers also play an important role in keeping files moving through the Parts Tracker and deserve just as much credit. This update wouldn't have been possible without their dedication and attention to detail.

This update also includes a new LDConfig with Dark Bluish Grey Rubber and a better defined Fabuland Red

You can preview the new parts in 2024-08 here, and download the zip-file update or Windows install package here.

Thank you to all the testers and parts authors who continue giving feedback on the new PT software. This project would not be what it is without your help.
