I'm not sure if this is the correct place for this request, as it is pertains to the PT part of the website and not the forums/main page, but I'm unsure where else to put it. So feel free to move it if there is a better place.

So, I, like I'm sure most of you are, am a big fan of the Master Parts List Page. It contains a lot of useful information in a nicely organized fashion, with the ability to sort it however you wish, save a few options that I would like to see added.

It would be nice if we could sort this list by the date the part was added to the PT. This way, it would be easy to see which parts have been on the PT for a long time and which ones were recently added, so that those of us looking for parts to edit can easily find the older ones.

In addition (or perhaps as an alternative), it might also be useful to be able to sort these parts based on their last update. For simplicity sake, this would be the date of the last submit. I think this information would be useful as well for part authors, editors, and reviewers for finding the parts most in need of attention.

This is the only part from Znap series that is still missing in our library. I tried this myself some time ago, but could not finish.
It would be great if we can close that gap in the library this year

I just release the next version of LDStructure (version 1.3.0.1).

New in this version:
The position and size of the window is now stored between session.

Bugfix:
The pictures of the parts are not shown. - Occurs if the LDRAWDIR enviroment variable is not set. - Now fixed.

You can download LDStructure at : http://ldraw.heidemann.org/index.php?page=ldstructure

I just released the version 1.3.5.2 of LDFind.

From this version on the window size and position will be stored between session. Also there is now a splitter between the viewer and the file listbox, so you can adjust the window more to your wishes.
Additionally in the Option dialog box there are now some setting that has influence on the visual appearance of the part shown.
Thanks to Philo for this ideas.

One user claimed that the picture do not show anything. Finally I found the problem and this is now fixed.

LDFind can be downloaded from http://ldraw.heidemann.org/index.php?page=ldfind

Please send all questions, suggestion for this version as answer to this thread.
Thanks.

Time flies, just three months after 1.2 I'm proud to release version 1.3

It's major new features are:

• Basic part snapping on (growing) subset of parts
  
• Spring generation
  
• Closed loop paths (e.g. rubber band)
  
• Part ghosting
  

• The 'Plain bricks', 'Pat. bricks' and 'normal plates' under sorted/bricks
  
• The 'Axles', 'Beams and liftarms', 'Bricks', 'Connectors and pins', 'Gears', 'Plates', 'Pneumatic', 'Shocks' groups under sorted/technic
  
• It also includes the power function template related parts.

Hi,

i would like to adress the issue preventing 3626cpm0.dat (and maybe others) to go offical. (since Oct 2013)
Since printings with the same print on different stud types will increase. b and c types are both still in productions (and there also some a / b matches)

What are the options?
Where is the problem in general?

Thanks

Hello to all,
I will upload the Speed racers models that I made.
You can use it freely, I give it 'Free ONLY for NON-Commercial Use'.
At the time are referred as "Unofficial model" but only because they were not verified by other people.
In case of errors or problems reported me. Thanks.

Here are some notes for possible improvements

They collected all the models of the Speed racers series.

There are 4 box-sets that I organized in the following way :
1 ldr file for every vehicle;
1 mpd file for the vehicle with mobile part and/or with independent structure (building).

If there are moving parts (hooks, trailers , tippers, ...) I created more ldr files for a single vehicle in order to simplify a possible next animation .
In order not to complicate the archive, however, the wheels have been incorporated into the one file ldr of the vehicle.

The basic idea is to assign names to the following :
xxxx [x] - [z] - [u]
xxxx [x] is the code box ( four or five digits)
z is the progressive optional for different independent models inside the box
u is a letter optional for the parts that make up the model, and that can move between them.

As for the choice of colors, I tried to respect those provided by Lego, but it is possible that some have escaped me.

I did not use stickers: I do not like in real life and I prefer not to use them even in the virtual world.

I did not create the minifigures.

Ldr files were introduced in the steps for building: do not reflect the official ones of the instruction manual.
The models are built bottom-up , the last pieces of the vehicles are always wheels and tires.

The vehicles are all oriented with the longitudinal axis x and muzzle in a positive direction.

Some parts, used to build the models, are not yet available in the official version LDraw.
If there is at least the unofficial version, I've used it.
There are still some parts are not available.
What follows is the list of the missing parts in each model.

In 8158 it miss the hub cap 62359 and it use the unofficial mudguard 62361
In 8159 it miss the hub cap 62359 and it use the unofficial mudguard 62361
In 8160 it miss the hub cap 62359 and it use the unofficial mudguard 62361
In 8161 it use the unofficial mudguard 62361

Because the vehicles of Racer-X in 8159 and 8160 box-set are the same, I don't duplicate the file.

Now stop write, it's time to load the models!
I hope you enjoy them as I liked building them!

I can't connect tube to handle, and have priblem with button. Help me please.

I think it would be cool to have something like this:

http://isometricland.net/lego/legopanotour.php

except in real time using hardware acceleration. I.e. a view that is "inside" a model, and that you can navigate around using "hotspots", so you don't have to render hundreds of images in POV-Ray.

[edit]

I also discovered this today:

Not sure how efficient it is with lots of parts/primitives/polygons.
