Per the LDraw.org Bylaws at http://www.ldraw.org/article/268.html, Subsection
6.03(a), the 2014/2015 Steering Committee hereby calls for the community to
nominate individuals as candidates for the 2015/2016 Steering Committee[1].

Please post nominations in response to this message. Nominations will only be
recognized if they are in response to this message.

Per ss.6.03(a), you must specify the name of the person you are nominating,
along with your name. Another member of the community must second the nomination
in a reply, and the nominee must publicly accept the nomination in the same
channel (direct reply to the nomination or second) in order to be valid. If the
nominee does not accept, it will be assumed that he or she has declined, and
they will not be placed on the ballot.

Nominations will close at 11:59 PM GMT on 28 February 2015. This means that to
be listed on the ballot, a candidate must have been nominated, seconded and must
have formally stated acceptance by that time.

The Steering Committee will give sufficient notice of the election and election
procedures per ss.6.03(b).

NOTE: subsection 6.03(b) states that elections should take place before March 1.
We interpret this to mean that we will commence the election on March 1, but
since it is electronic, it will run for 2 weeks, just as last time. The exact
time and date of start and end will be announced sometime very close to (but
after) 0000 GMT March 1.

Again, thanks to all of you for your commitment to the goals of the
organization, and in working with us this year. Please, stay involved with
LDraw.org and keep it moving forward!

Hej,
did we ever recognized that there exist 3 different torso verions? They differ in the inside.
I wonder, If we should model them or not.

Hi folks,

I just updated the MLCad.ini file accordingly to the latest LDraw.org parts update 2014-02. The .ini file defines (among other things) the parts available in MLCad's minifigure generator.

Download the file from my website: http://www.holly-wood.it/mlcad/mlcad_ini-en.html

A direct download is available at: http://www.holly-wood.it/files/mlcad/MLC...014-02.zip

Bye, w.

I have a question:

why does file s\3626cs01.dat not provide ALL condlines for the FULL head
(including the pattern area)?

the pattern could be added by triangles and quads,
but condlines should be always the same in that area IMHO.

Can anybody enlighten me?

I noticed this because file
http://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptdetail.cg...26cps0.dat
on the PT adds these condlines itself.

http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=13768pb01

Would greatly appreciate this piece for a project I'm working on. I know it is a slightly more complicated piece, but if someone is looking for a piece to work on

Thanks,
-James

When I uploaded 18651 a month ago Philo suggested that a new "blind" confric primitive might be suitable as there is currently some primitive overlap within the part. I started putting one together when I noticed that 3749 (which is frictionless but has the same kind of connection) has the pin part mostly built with quads and lines rather than "connect.dat". 43093 also has the same issue that I currently have with 18651.

My thought was that, rather than creating a blind "confric*.dat" primitive, only for a blind "connect*.dat" primitive to be created for 3749 some time later, would it be worth creating just the "connect" primitive and then a separate primitive for the "friction" bumps? These could then be overlaid on to the new "connect" to make a new "confric"?

As an example, below is "connect.dat" with 8 friction primitives overlaid to make "confric.dat".



If others were behind this idea, would "fric.dat", "fric2.dat", etc., be good enough names for these friction primitives?

On a separate note, would there be any reason to not use "confric4.dat" for a new "blind" confric primitive? There appears to be no trace of this part name in use on the Parts Tracker.

Is it written somewhere how we should write colour names in the part descriptions?

I have noted that many different abbreviations are used:
Trans Orange
TransRed
TrLtBlue
Trans_Yellow
Trans-Green

Is anyone better than the other? Should we standardize how to write it?

Physical Colour Shortcuts must mention the colour of the part, but how? As it is now we seam to use two types.
Either written in full, Dark_Bluish_Grey, or in hard brackets [72].
