As from the file .ldr | .dat draw the contour of part in one color version ?!.

Hi, I would like to suggest a change of procedure:

When we need to fix official parts, we currently have to e-mail them to Chris who will upload them to the PT.
I find this tedious. My suggestion is to allow the upload of such files at the PT.
It should show a warning message "You are uploading a new version of an already official part.
Is this really what you want to do? Your upload will replace the existing official file." and then a YES/NO choice.

Is this possible?

I write this because I have seen forum post
http://forums.ldraw.org/showthread.php?t...1#pid16161
and wondered if we could simplify the procedure for official fixes.

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to convert an LXF file of set 10242 (Mini Cooper) to an LDraw file that I can open in MLCAD.

The LXF file is available here:
http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.ph...26&st=3975

Even after swapping out the the ldraw.xml file used by LDD with the one here...
http://gallaghersart.com/LEGO_forums/vie...wforum/28/
..there are still pieces missing.

The main pieces I need are:
Round Shield: http://brickset.com/parts/6076677
Plate W. Bow 2X2X2/3: http://brickset.com/parts/6047220
Flat Tile 2X2, Round "Udluft": http://brickset.com/parts/6052204
Flat Tile 1X1, Round "No.12": http://brickset.com/parts/6030333

I noticed that MagFors has been working on some of the other parts specific to this set:
http://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptscan.cgi?q=cooper

BTW - is there another way to convert an LXF file to LDraw without using the Export Model option within LEGO Digital Designer (I've got an older PC that doesn't have a graphics card that supports LEGO Digital Designer!)

Thanks

Reuben

The simple addition of the wide version of the 2350 turned out to be a lot trickier than thought, especially due to wrong information also being present on both Peeron and Bricklink.

Now after previously sifting already through building instructions, pictures etc. I sketched a little family-tree of the said part and what in my opinion needs to be done to get them all into a proper released status. (Click on the pic to get a larger version)



There are now three new subfiles:
- (2350s01.dat) The base
- (2350s02.dat) The narrow beam without sides
- (2350s03.dat) The side pattern

Now what to do:

• The original part, 2350.dat, was moved to 2350a.dat. However this part is not existing in its unprinted form. But for the sake of compatibility to older digital MOCs it still needs to be kept as 2350a. But it shoul d look like the original 2350.dat. 2350a was last edited by Steffen.
  
• 2350ap01.dat is on the PT, using the available sub-files, no action necessary.
  
• 2350b.dat, the one using this name right now is the wide version, which in fact is actually the 3rd version of this part. Therefore it should be renamed to 2350c.dat (2350b was last edited by me) The real 2350b needs to be created (will look like the current 2350a)
  
• 2350bp01.dat is not the PT at the moment, should be made available using the subfiles
  Actions:
  - Create the part (I will do so)
  
• 2350c.dat, the one on the PT is the 4th iteration of this part, rightfully it should be 2350d.dat 2350c was last edited by Magnus.
  
• 2350d.dat, not yet existing, proposal to use the code from the current 2350c.dat
  

I'm trying to create black and white BIs for a model. In order to make it easier to see where new parts are added I would like to grey out all the "existing" parts like MLCad does in view mode. Can I do this with LPUB?

Hi LDraw Community,

I did some analyzing of the LDraw Library today and I noticed something odd.
I found 22 Color Codes that are used by Subpart References in the Library that are not included in the LDConfig.ldr File. Are there any other files for color descriptions or are those colors simply wrong?

Color Codes:

• 261
  
• 486
  
• 358
  
• 485
  
• 260
  
• 354
  
• 295
  
• 382
  
• 277
  
• 264
  
• 276
  
• 391
  
• 374
  
• 353
  
• 392
  
• 283
  
• 300
  
• 258
  
• 130
  
• 270
  
• 487
  
• 263

I'm looking for the parts attached in the photo.

I've found what I assume is the Tire but I cannot seem to find the rim that goes inside.

A.) If someone can confirm that the part I chose is the same as the one in the Photo.
--- Either Other Parts>T>Tyre 14/ 36 x 20 VR or Tyre 22 30 x 30 ZR (or perhaps something completely different.)
B.) If someone could point me to find the matching rims for these tires.

All would be much appreciated.

Hi,

LDraw doesn't show only lego, I used Tente® 3D library following these instructions.
You can see here.
