Right now we have 6 different types of part number suffixes:
pXX(X)/pNNNN - Patterns
cXX - Shortcuts
dXX - Sticker Shortcuts
kNN - Flexible sections
-fN - Flexible states
s01 - Subpart
bNN - Sticker box subparts
Note: X = 0-9a-z, N = 0-9

b and s are easy, they're only for subparts.

By my reckoning, the rule is:
p/c in any order followed by optional one of d, k, or -f

Questions:
Is <part number>p01c01 a pattern, shortcut, or both?
What about <part number>c01p01?
If it's one or the other, what is the base part: <part number> or <part number>p/c01?

Hello,

For example, part 15068 consists of a lower section 15068s1. The upper section consists of part of a cylinder 1-8cyli.
Both parts contain the optional lines. For each part with a pattern, the optional lines for the upper section must be added.
My suggestion would be to use a primitive 1-8cyli without optional lines and move the optional lines to the lower part.
This would mean that they would not have to be added to every part with a pattern.
I compared several parts and the optional lines were almost always the same, with most deviations due to rounding (e.g. 4 <-> 3.9999).
The colour of the pattern also has no effect, as the colour was always 24.

My question is, what are the arguments against my suggestion?

Regards

Manfred

Hello,

The minifig heads that have pattern on both sides are labeled “2-Sided Pattern.”
Why isn't this also done for the minifig torso and the minifig torso with arms?

Hello.  I created some parts back in 2001 (yes, almost a quarter of a century ago.)

I mainly used MLCad to do the work.  I am starting on a project that will have new bricks with subparts.  After putting the .dat files into the subpart directories, how do I get MLCad to refresh its part list so I can access them?

Part # 3524
Large Figure Face with Brow and Nose Detail,
2 x 2 Round Brick Attachment

LEGO does not produce this part in a "blank" (i.e. unpainted) form; all version of this part are painted. Still, we would need the "blank" version first, before creating any detailed versions. Having the "blank" version would be useful to me, please. 

Thanks,

I'm looking for Buckbeak 50100c01pb01 for the various Harry Potter sets. I'd be delighted if someone would be willing to help make it. Thanks.

Hi all! 

Does anyone have a file for 7571 Plant Plate, Round 1 x 2 with Pointed Leaf and Split Sides that is in 41843 Family Christmas Tree? Even if it is the raw mesh file, that will be very helpful!

Thanks very much in advance

First time requesting a part on here so hopefully I've done it right!

I'm after this part below for an upcoming MOC:
3753pb03 - https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/cat...D#T=C&C=69



Even if I can get the unprinted version (below) that will work!
3753 - https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/cat...D#T=C&C=86



I have had a search on this forum with no luck but if I've missed it hopefully someone can send me in the right direction. Thanks in advance!

Hello all,

I recently got a new computer (Windows 10), and after installing MPDCenter, I’m encountering an issue where it won't create an Inventory file. I receive the following error message:

"La conversion de la chaîne '1/426' en Integer n'est pas valide. Microsoft VisualBasic."
This translates to something like: "Conversion of the string '1/426' to Integer is not valid. Microsoft VisualBasic."

Even though MPDCenter generates the .bat, .html, and .pbg files, the .html file only contains the table headers:
Parts List for 40691_mythical_pegasus_bird.mpd (0 parts) and Part/Color/Quantity.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Marc

Hello,

Part 73200bpaw corresponds to Bricklink part 970c86pb06.
In the LDraw part, the hip has a solid color of ‘Dark Red’ (320).
This part is also available with a gray hip (Light Bluish Gray, 71).
I assume that a new version would have to be created for this variant, for example 73200pax, even though the lower parts end with paw.
An extension such as c01 and c02 is not possible:

73200bpawc01 with hips in Dark Red,
73200bpawc02 with hips in Light Bluish Grey.

There is a similar problem with the minifig torsos (76382), where there are different hands or arms, for example.

Best regards,

Manfred
