So I am having a go at making part 76923, and have done most of it. Just a few things I have a query about.

A) To match the size of the BI original, the handle primatives of the bar needed to be scaled down by 10% in one direction is it OK to do that?

B) the support beams for the bottom tube. BI just has them clipping into the geometry of the tube which isn't great obviously. There are primatives for if the support beams are at the bottom of the tube but there don't seem to be any for if they are at the top? So is there a subpart or something I can use?

C) The origin for the part doesn't seem right so I was wondering where it should go? I mean yeah I know I need to adjust it so the mirroring will work properly but I want it in the right place.

Hey there,

My name is Demetree, and I'm a software developer and a Lego lover.

I'm working on a new system that I'm going to release in the next few months that should have something for everybody that loves Lego.

Here's a few links to some manuals that it created somebody out there might like to see.

It'll do stuff like this, and a whole lot more.

Cheers!

When you use Bricklink Studio with custom parts and want Studio to show you the available colours you need a meta command for the bricklink item number.
The metacommand is the following(5272pb01 is an example part number):

Just so no-one worries, I'm on vacation until 3/3 so the 2026-02 update will be about a week late.

Hello everyone!

After completing set 42055-A some time ago, I started working on set 42055-B and
noticed that I could only modify part 24121d02.dat in this model.

I then tried to create part 24121d03.dat, but failed when mirroring
sticker 6155286wc01.dat.

Would anyone be willing and able to complete this part and submit it to Parts Pracker?

Best regards, Alfred

I had an intermittent issue with LDCad where i experienced an incredible drop in the frame rate, down to 1 fps from a 20 fps rendering.

This is with a file of 25.000 parts, many of them technic beams. I first thohought that the increased accuracy of the npegholes contributed to this effect, but now I found the real reason.

I use a number fo subfiles in this MPD and whenever I switch to the MPD view, because I need a file or want to select one and I stayed there, the framerate was very sluggish.

switching back ti a "normal" parts bin e.g.used parts or "brick"increased the frame rate massively.


Are you rendering the content of the small tiles inthe MPD view kind of real time? would there be a way to avoid this behaviour?

Someone reported a semi severe bug in beta 2 concerning file reloading.

This version will fix that and a couple of other minor issues reported so far.

No new features though.

Hey,

this release 1.9.01 updates the Java version from 21 to 25 (LDPE runs on its own Java Virtual Machine, you don't need to install Java).
It should improve the performance a little bit and also fixes one rare "text editor UI update" bug in combination with rounding.

This version will also reset the editor size of the GUI because I needed to change the format which is used to store this information internally.
The config file for version 1.9 is not compatible with version 1.8.



As always, you can download LDPE from this page:

http://nilsschmidt1337.github.io/ldparteditor/

Changelog:

(1 new feature and 1 bug fix)

With this release you will be able to...

• ...benefit from a little performance improvement because of the new integrated "Java 25" runtime.
