Hi.
Is there anyone who will like to convert 85983 from LDD?
Is it possible to change these two LDraw files 30189 and 50860 so they come on the inventory list as loose parts? Right now the only "present" in the form of shortcuts. (See pic.)
Is it also possible to have created a shortcut on old motorcycle body (x900 and x901) without wheels?
Since we had only 5 confirmed nominees, no election is necessary.
Therefore, the 2015/2016 LDraw.org Steering Committee [1] is:
Chris Dee
Philippe Hurbain
Orion Pobursky
Max Martin Richter
Willy Tschager
[1] Try not to confuse the LDraw.org Steering Committee (SteerCo) with the LDraw.org Standards Board (LSB). The Steering Committee sets the course for the LDraw Organization while the Standards Board deals with the LDraw File Format.
Congratulations to the new and a huge thank you to the outgoing members!
Willy Tschager
On behalf of the LDraw.org Steering Committee
I am trying to make a city layout. I am having trouble adding the Fire Brigade MPD file to my layout. I try to do it and only half the parts transfer and the building is all messed up. Can someone give me some pointers as to how to do this? My layout is an LDR file.

That I way write this topic to make request of you. Because actually like Remi (precursor of LIC) I start lost interest of development of LIC. Because I am not able to devote this tool as much time as I should as one-person Team. Thus, the development may take years.
In my knowledge to build Instruction you can use:
LEGO Digital Designer Instruction creation leaves much to be desired
LDRAW and LPub and these two tool are great but not for novice
Univeral tools like MLcad, POVray for Windows and Adobe Acrobat Pro 8 used by Designer Han
Keep in mind that dynamic importer of LEGO Instrunction Creator makes it easy to add an importer for any 3D file type.
I don't have doing only for own purpose, but for one any who can download 3D model for example and have good time with this.
Regret would make the existing progress lost.
So main question whether this is good idea to start Crowdfunding project ? /at kickstarter.com for example/
If that miracle happen. I proposed to create a wish list /not too long/, which will be discussed and closed at the right time. Before work could begin.
I've recently got into Warhammer 40K and was looking to re-use some of the Lego we have in the house to build a 40K tank. Anything that is generally representive of a tank would be good. Here are some cool tanks that I found:

Below is a snapshot of some modifications I'm doing to LPub - just for me but I'll be happy to share if anyone is interested :-)
The ability to manage source (i.e. cut and paste step and subfile content) is very useful - especilly when preparing instructions. For example, LPub does not handle some LDCad template content very well so it is sometimes necessary to move content around.
As you can see, I've added a 3D viewer to visualize steps and insert the ROTSTEP meta in order to optimize positioning the step for best instruction presentation. Notice, the cut, paste, rebuild capabilities in the source editor which are very useful.
You can also see in the snapshot the fade step functionality I developed allowing the user to fade previous steps in the model giving another capability to better visualize instructions. For this feature, it is sometimes helpful to change static colored parts (e.g. shock absorber spring and strut) in the source in order to properly fade the assembly.
