Is there a way to replace all selected parts with a different type of part in a single action? I don't think there is.

Does the attached build "work" in real life? I tried and it seemed okay, but I don't want to do anything that might stress and bend or break parts. Thanks.

Hi there,

I'm planning to render the Unitron sets.

Appart form stickers that I can create, the only parts missing are the two Monorail Track Points

2890 - Monorail Track Point Left
2889 - Monorail Track Point Right


I know the parts are quite complexe but I would love if someone could author them.
Thanks a lot.

Does anyone have a tool or script that would take a standard LDR or MPD file and then create a new LDR file that contains all the parts from that model, but lay them out in nice neat rows? The layout as shown below is the kind of thing I'm after.



Ideally the script would have some sort of bounding box method to intelligently position the pieces.

As an alternative, is there a script or tool that can analyse the pieces in an LDR file and generate an output like this (ideally as a new LDR file)?



How about a more clever script that takes all the parts and then randomly assembles them in a pile - like this:

Marc Klein, the author of Stl2Dat (3D file to LDraw converter) posted the source of the tool on SourceForge. Find it here. Thanks, Marc!

I'm using Mike Gallagher's SNOT roads for my town model.

One problem that exists is that the road base is hovering 18 LDU above the baseplate the road is attached to. I need something that is 18 LDU tall and can be used to prop up the road base.

Any ideas? The only thing I've been able to come up with so far is part 2555.dat. It is sort of small and rare so I'm not sure it's a goo choice.

Thanks.

What's going on? I've been busy with stuff and things. I should probably make another Bionicle part sometime.

I started a thread on the Blender forums about how to create roads that follow the shape of a spline.

I'm still not sure how to get the object *back* into LDraw format. Converting the geometry should be simple as long as you can export to STL. But what about the colors? Is there a good converter that can be used that preserves the colors?

I was wondering if anyone had experimented with making parking lots for Lego cars. I am looking for some on-street parking to adapt for Datsville. Compatibility with Mike Gallagher's SNOT roads is important.

This is my first build - and brings my childhood memories

I used awesome editor LDcad 1.4b (still a bit rusty with it, I need lots to learn)
only official parts used,
models are simple and should be 1:1 identical

Note: I skipped the last model which should be combined with the accumulator set





Enjoy!
