Hello folks,

it surprised me that there is practically no info here about BlockCAD created by Anders Isaksson. Especially when I discovered that the man is/was also a member on this forum (last visit many years ago).

It was the first Lego related program I did use. I know it's not directly associated with LDraw (seems like it has it's own filetype LGO, but support DAT files - I didn't test it), but there are some options that work with LDraw. I think the man did the awesome work since there is only a small installer and here you are - you can build with most of bricks. His website is still online and installer and program still works!
https://www.blockcad.net/ (although there is older version than on sites with games and software)

What are your opinions? Did you guys use BlockCAD?

Hello,
Thanks again for creating my previous requested parts.

I'd like to request Friends Bear for Friends OMR project.

I've found a raw mesh in digital-bricks
http://www.digital-bricks.de/en/index.ph...part=14732

but clean-up and split patternable surfaces would be highly appreciated.
I'll try to make printed patterns, so the part body is sufficient.

Thanks in advance,
Takeshi

The only thing I don't understand about LDraw.org is that parts are uploaded, and when you download them, the Part Designer doesn't recognize them. Why aren't these DAT files even properly completed so that they're usable?

For a MOC I am working on I have two minifig part variants which seem to be missing:

• Hips with red leotard (Bricklink 970c03pb10)
  
• Torso Bare Chest with Muscles Outline (Bricklink 973pb5732c01)
  

• Hips and Light Nougat Legs with Lime Leotard and Toes Pattern (Bricklink 970c90pb09)
  

• Hips and Yellow Legs with Light Aqua Leotard (Bricklink 970c03pb19)
  
• Hips and Yellow Legs with Red Leotard (Bricklink 970c03pb10)
  
• Hips and Yellow Legs with Black Leotard (Bricklink 970c03pb14)
  
• Hips and Yellow Legs with Green Leotard (Bricklink 970c03pb11)
  

The arch 3572 may possible match the curvatures of the sloped bricks 3573, 7249, 50950, and 24309.
We need to confirm these matches using physical parts.

Does anyone have two or more of these parts?

A. Does the curvature of 3573/7249 match the curvature of 50950/24309?
B. Does the curvature of 3573/7249 match the curvature of 3572?
C. Does the curvature of 50950/24309 match the curvature of 3572?

I know what BI data claims, but now we need physical confirmation.

Plate Special Round 4 x 4 with Melting Drops on Sides (Part 65702) - It features prominently on the feet of #40806 Gingerbread AT-AT Walker.

Related part 65700 is already available.

Where is the official list of reasons for hold-voting a part?

Some of the border vertices in the toucan subfiles have slightly different rounding of the fourth decimal, which causes white dots to appear along the seams between subparts. The shape is free-form so there is no primitive that would cause it. It can be hard to detect, but it seems reviewers have anyway certified it.

What is the current policy? Are fourth decimal gaps allowed or not?

If allowed, what is the largest gap that can be accepted in a free-form shape?

Is there a way to search for parts/subparts that have had a hold vote for more than 3 months?

Can the results be filtered to include only such part authors that haven't logged on in the last 3 months?

In recent days, Philippe Hurbain has added three of the four new Bluetooth-based LEGO Science parts to the parts Tracker.  I'm personally excited to see LEGO finally moving to USB-C for charging their devices, as well as curious to see how well the device-to-device Bluetooth connectivity works in practice.

Assuming that these devices continue to connect with Host PC and with each other using the LEGO Wireless Protocol - it might be possible to control them using a Spike Hub, or even a City hub running PyBrick firmware.  (If anyone has any info on the protocols used or compatibility with other Powered Up hubs, let me know)

In any event, one of the parts is still not on the tracker, and I would like to include all four of the new parts in my LEGO Parts Guide.  (I believeive the guide will be especially useful to educators.)

Missing Part: 115901 (Remote Control, Science)


Thanks again for the tremendous throughput of new parts in recent months!
