Yesterday, an interesting story was posted on the Rebrickable blog.
It's about two minor slope variations (92946 and 15672) which actually does have a (relatively) 'major' impact on the way the piece can be used.

I was wondering, does the LDraw library included such minor variations? I guess the answer is yes, since the library also includes other mold variations. But, this one is so minor, almost unoticeable on a PC screen.

Aside from that, it does mean that our current 92946 is actually slightly wrong. At the moment, the slope is exactly the same as 3040b, which it shouldn't be according to the measurements (and even LDD, as stated in the post).

Any thoughts about this?

EDIT: I forgot a link (for the lazy people around here : http://rebrickable.com/blog/2016/mysterious-slope

Hi (Trevor),

Just today I noticed there has been a change in the way LPub3D makes a PDF.
Where first all text was still text and all images where individually put on the page, now one page is one whole image?

Why is this? I assume you have good reasons?

Can you undo this or make it optional?
I often rely on the ability to manipulate individual elements in the PDF (with Acrobat Professional) and would very much like this the way it was.

Thanks.

Anyone fancy creating the stickers for this part (I'm mainly interested in the image on the left of the sticker).


Thanks

Reuben

I wrote a few animation scripts for LDCad that build/explode/dissolve a model...
You may see the results in this Youtube playlist.
The scripts are attached here, as well as the model used for the videos: a "flattened" (submodels inlined) of Makou's CAD model of 10018 - Darth Maul

To test these scripts on you own model:

• Load model in LDCad
  
• Model -> edit header -> scripting tab
  
• Browse to the script you want to try / OK
  
• Click on model name on top right of edit window and choose "animation" mode
  
• Play and enjoy!

Hi, I get several error messages when LPub3D attempts to render with POV-Ray v3.7 ... LPub3D rendering with LDView works; and POV-Ray v3.7 will render individual LDR and MPD files. The command line error seems to be a file that doesn't exist:

Could not find file ...\LPub\parts\40490_0_1650_150_DPCM_0.75_23_-45.png.ini
Cannot open INI file ...\LPub\parts\40490_0_1650_150_DPCM_0.75_23_-45.png

There are some polybags that you can gain at shell stations.

I came across this pattern, in the videogame of LEGO City Undercover.
I have a feeling that I've seen it before. But I can not remember where or how.

Hello talented part authors.

Is there a chance someone could create the new wedge piece from the new Nexo Knights line?

Hi all,

I'm new to the forum and I tried to create a new parts that I want to submit. I did two new patterned torsos and one 1x3 brick. Now I'm not sure about the naming. I went through the Patterned Part Numbers table and tried to assign them name that is not used in the library yet. All these parts are from the Town theme.

Torso Cargo Logo with Shirt Pattern
- Bricklink: 973pb0239
- Suggested name: 973p2n

Torso Space Port Logo, Tube and 'C1' with Two Yellow Bars Pattern
- Bricklink: 973px176
- Suggested name: 973p2q

Brick 1 x 3 with Green and Blue Stripe with Cargo Logo Print
- Bricklink: 3622pb008
- Suggested name: 3622p03

Can you help me with correct names?
