Maybe I am asking too much at a time, but I really want to share this thought...

Reading the review of the Ghostbusters Firehouse on Eurobricks (http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.ph...pic=118783) I saw something interesting I've been wondering about before.

LEGO uses highlighting to show what parts a new in a step.
Like this


They've done this occasionally before (in the long past and I think with some monthly minibuilds) and I think it would be nice to be able to do this too?

Would something like this be possible to implement in LPub3D?
Or use some other software to pre-process an LDraw file that creates lines around the parts of a step?

I've done this in some instructions by hand (not every step) where it was really hard to see where parts went in a certain step. This is often the case with a monochrome model or when one uses many black for instance.

Can someone fix the wiki, please? It seems that uploading/displaying images does not work. It's been like this for several years. How do you expect us to want to write tutorials if the wiki is not working?

To my surprise, part 98834 isn't in the LDraw library yet (or, at least I couldn't find it).
Anyone willing to make it?

It's available in LDD, btw.

I am looking for a individual that is already skilled in the LEGO AUTO-CAD Program and interested in being paid to create a model using LEGO Parts based on the picture below. If the first one is a success we will have several more designs that we would like to do. I would like them to already understand the program and all aspects of the LEGO CAD to create a model of a pump station. I understand that the program allows for bill of materials to be created and the parts can be ordered to assemble the design. The desired end result is to receive the file, then order the all the parts and assemble the model into a presentation piece. The scale will need to be played with based on the scale and availability of the LEGO parts.

Hi,

When I export from LDView to POV, the color 151 VERY LIGHT BLUISH GRAY appears as green in POV ... After some investigation I found the RGB color as written in the lg_color.inc file is 14,94,77 .. which is green .. it should be 230,227,224 .. #E6E3E0 .. instead.

After having recently opened up a small can of worms on the Parts Tracker with introducing the hollow stud with the inner stopper ring, it got me thinking about parts that have this inner stopper ring as part of their recent moulding but still have the same Design ID from their inception.

For example, 3665 "Slope Brick 45 2 x 1 Inverted" is now produced with this inner stopper (I have a spare one to hand) but is only modelled in LDraw without. However, this inner stopper does have implications on the part's function, as a 4 LDU bar can now only be inserted so far.

Therefore, would it be worth producing a "b" variant of this part with the inner stopper ring? BrickLink doesn't recognise it as a separate part, but it is functionally slightly different.

I've been having this problem for quite a while now, but I was too lazy to try to fix it. But, it's starting to annoy me more and more.
Basicly, LDview's screenshot output doesn't match what I'm seeing in LDview. It looks like it doesn't apply the anti-aliasing.

Here's an example: this is what I see on the screen and this is LDview's sceenshot output (please click the button for the original image, Onedrive is compressing the preview).

The strange things is that when LDview is being used by LPub, there's no problem at all and I have the smooth lines and all.

I'm using Windows 10 (but I believe I also had the problem on Windows 8.1, but I can't remember) and I'm using LDview 4.2 Beta 1 (I also tried 4.1 without any success).

Does anyone have an idea what the problem might be?

I like to build this set (http://www.peeron.com/inv/sets/4094-1) bud sadfully there is a challange part 42090.

Is there somebody that can help me, maybe with a not perfect mockup?

Thanks for your help.

Hey guys! I have created Kylo Ren's lightsaber using the program LeoCAD. I know it's not perfect but I figured I might as well upload it anyway. Feel free to use it!
