We are beginning to see a lot of new parts for the Friends Figures. These are the ones Philo have made so far.

   

We made Shortcuts for all the Fabuland Figures, but don't make any for a regular minifig. How about these?
Brickset lists today 87 different Friends figures and 10 Disney Princess Figures

We make shortcuts for the "Minifig Hips and Legs" but don't make one for "Minifig Torso and Arms", even though that is how it is delivered.

How about a "Minifig Friends Torso and Arms" shortcut? Do we need, or want, one?
Brickset lists 62 different.

Are there any baseplates smaller than 8x12? I really need one that is 6x16 but don't want to use an unofficial part.

Hi there.

As my 4624296d sticker part is now certified on the tracker. I'd like to form it to fit on the 3941 cylinder brick.

Problem is that I struggled hours and hours without a satisfying result.

Can someone author this ?

After working on backend projects for a few months now, I've become unsatisfied with the current forum software (Phorum). The tempting system is all kinds of stupid and plugins are a pain to write. I am now looking for a suitable alternative. Rest assured that I will not be switching the system over unless I can do it seamlessly with all data intact. Any suggestions regarding what other major sites use is welcome however I will not choose software that does not support threaded view (so no phpBB) or is not open source.

I am kindly requesting the piece 55706 Wing 8x10 to be inclued... working on some Batman stuff and this wing is missing in my Bricksmith iMac App.

Due to a server migration, the ldraw.org website is currently unavailable and the Parts Tracker is not functioning. I am in touch with Dan Boger who kindly provides us with this webspace on the peeron servers and we are working to resolve the problem.

Apologies for any inconvenience.

I can't reach the main site or the PartTracker. Only the forum.

Hi Mac Devs,

In light of this post I was wondering if any of you could compile or package (I'm not sure how it all works, but I gather it's *nix based) LDMakeList for OSX. Maybe someone has done this and I've forgotten

The source code is very standard C++ and shouldn't cause any major pains. Although there might need to be some changes made to the processing of directories. You might also want to make sure it deals with old Mac-style newlines.

If anyone thinks they can help, please contact me about getting the latest source code and any other information.

Thanks in advance,

Tim

Hi all,

having real troubles with lpub for my mac... he can't find the parts.lst. And if I download your full package here, there is unfortnately no parts.lst included... only a .exe file I can't open with Mac.

Can anyone provide me with the latest parts.lst please as direct download? I can't find it on your side, and everything links to the zip files that just contain this strange .exe instead of .lst files

Hi,

On many window and door frames there is a rather odd stud.

   
We usually make them without using a stud primitive, or need to make a very uniqe, specially designed stud.

I had to make eight files for 4209, in normal and low resolution. They all have to be different since there is a logo on top of each stud.

   
Due to the fact that we still need to fool MLCad, and have a lo-res version, (including a Moved to-primitive), to every new stud, the number of uniqe files have to be twelve for every new part with a small hole in the stud. A uniqe set of of primitives that hardly will be reused.

I would like to introduce a 3/4-stud instead.

   
A single set of primitives that could be reused in many of the parts above.
They will help connection seeking software and will place the logo in a correct position.
The small hole is to be added as a single, reusable, non-rotationally sensitive subfile (or primitive).

I've tried this set-up in LDView and MLCad. It works fine.
How will it work in LDCad, SR3D Builder or Bricksmith? Or in any other software with stud substitution ability?

How should I do with studs that have a hole that isn't fully placed in one of the quarters, but in between?

Do all the frames have a logo on top of the stud with a small hole?
I don't have all the frames, but I know that 4209 do have small holes and a logo, and that the two parts with square holes (60594 and 60598) doesn't.

If we ignore the logo, it is possible to use a single file and rotate the gap to were it needs to be.

So, three questions.
Should we continue in making new studs for each part?
Or should we replace them with this 3/4-stud?
Or could we ignore the logo, and simplify it to a single stud?
