Hello everyone, I'm a beginner. While using Studio, I've added many custom parts, but all of these parts are placed in the CustomParts folder. If I categorize the files in the CustomParts folder, the parts won't display properly in the Studio software. I'd like to ask you amazing netizens if there's a way to organize them into categories. Right now, all the parts are mixed together, making it hard to find what I need. Thank you all in advance!

The 11090 in BI has a longer interior bar hole than the current 11090 part on the tracker and there does seem to be a newer version of the part as mentioned in this reddit post to confirm there needs to be a variant made.

The missing parts are listed here:

I am currently working on this issue that involves unit conversion to LDraw (currently all units are first converted to mm and then to ldu).

And I came up with the following conversion ratios:

[Micron/Micrometer(μm): 400μm * 0.0025ldu/μm = 1ldu]

Millimeter(mm): 0.4m * 2.5ldu/mm = 1ldu

Centimeter(dm): 0.04m * 25ldu/cm = 1ldu

[Decimeter(dm): 0.004m * 250ldu/dm = 1ldu]

Meter(m): 0.0004m * 2500ldu/m = 1ldu

Inch(in, ″): 1/64in * 64ldu/in = 1ldu

Foot(ft, ′): 0.001312336ft * 762ldu/ft ~ 1ldu


Please take a look if I got everthing right.

* everthing in [] is just here for completness, allthough micron is actually a valid unit in 3mf files.

For free-form stand-alone vertexes, one decimal is usually enough. However, when a vertex is defined by a circular primitive, rotated subparts or the intersection of slanted surfaces, then more decimals are needed. I've tried working with three decimals, but tools like Edger2 will not always recognize the presence of a cond line rounded to three decimals. Similar results with overlap- and gap-finding tools.

The official parts library specifications state "In general, three decimal places are sufficient for parts, subparts, and primitives representing portions of parts that are not intended to be scaled (for example, studs, pegs, peg-holes, clips, hinge ends, etc.). Four decimal places should be used for high-res primitives and any primitives designed to be scaled (for example, cylinder sections, boxes, rectangles, discs, edges, etc.) as this allows such primitives to be scaled by a factor of ten while still preserving three decimal places of accuracy.".

I'd like to amend this by allowing 4 decimal places to be used for

• vertexes on a rotational plane of symmetry (e.g. 30, 45, and 72 degree planes),
  
• intersections calculated by isecalc,
  
• any vertex that is defined by a scaled primitive.
  

Currently, we have cylindrical polygons with 8, 16, and 48 sides. So, if a part needs a 1-6 sweep, we are forced to use the 48-sided polygon. For very large radii, even 48 sides is not enough. We have 84-sided polygons on the tracker. When we need a cylinder with the number of faces divisible by 5, a custom 50-sided polygon becomes used. What if 16 points are too coarse and 48 points are too dense?

I'd like to solve these by introducing 12, 24, 60, and 84-sided cylinders. The 12-sided is a nice replacement for the 8-sided because three segments make much nicer corners than 2 segments. The 24-sided is perfect when 48 is too much and 16 too little. Both allow 1-6 sweeps. The 60-sided cylinder is more usable than the 50-sided cylinder in that it is divisible by both 3 and 4. The point of the 84-sided cylinder is that the vertexes are distributed differently (divisible by 4, but not by 8) than any multiple of 48, thus allowing vertex optimization at large radii.

The 60-sided cylinder would be used at radii above 36.
The 84-sided cylinder would be used at radii from 80 to 120.

Here's a table showing the segment length for different radii and polygons. Below are recommendations for minima and maxima (radii and segment length) for each polygon optimized for segment length.
   

The polygon "4" is just a corner made out of one quad at a 45 degree angle.

Moved To's shouldn't point to Moved To's.  Here's a list of the current parts that do that:
(Note: I didn't vet every part here. There may be false positives or some reason not to untangle the redirects but the default should be that Moved To's should point correctly)

The naming convention for part 87079 seems to start off being hexadecimal and then kinda goes random but there are gaps like there is no 87079PC or PD, PE, PJ to L etc. So what number am I supposed to use? Should I just fill one of the gaps?

Now that more duplo trains and cars are modeled, we should think about the primitives for the hitches aka tow pins, tow loops, and tow clips. Duplo hitches come in many types and variants. However, when minor differences are ignored, it boils down to a handful tow pins and tow hooks.
