If someone could create the minifig sai weapon (98139) I'd greatly appreciate it.

I'm willing to pay whoever can get this done fairly soon.

Hi Guys,

i would like to ask if someone could review the changes for http://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptdetail.cgi?s=3626bp05. I would like to have see this certified, so I could use this one as a base for a new pattern.

Thanks in Advance

I've encountered a very strange bug in LDCad. First, a picture:



See the piece I have selected? It got shorter! This happened when I rotated the piece along its long axis. As I did this I could see the piece shrink in length!

I'm not sure exactly how to replicate the bug but it has happened on more than one occasion with other pieces as well. It seems to have something to do with different grid orientations and hiding of pieces. Unhiding everything fixed the problem (although the warped piece remained warped. At this moment that's the most information I can give.

Very wierd.

Hi all.

This is my first message, and I apologize in advance if this isn't the right section.

I'm experimenting on rendering LDraw parts and models in Java, and in an LDR model I found a part in latest official part library (2014-01) that use this color id: 391.
I can't find it in LDConfig.ldr, and I haven't found any reference to this color code.
So, part uses this color:
973psk.dat (for sub-part s/973pskb.dat) in row 19
I found a sub-part that uses this color, too:
s/3068s101.dat in rows 39, 51, 52


Thank you for your work on LDraw part library.

Hi all,
I have published a few video tutorials showing how to work on LDraw meshes with Meshmixer. See them here:

Based on the current discussion in the forum I updated PrimGen2.

I made already some tests, but as you surely know some bugs like to stay until they are discovered.

So please report any issue as answer to this post and I keep PrimGen2 alive and running.

You can download the current version at http://ldraw.heidemann.org/index.php?page=primgen2

As a result of this thread, I'm wondering are there any parts in the library using skewing (of base scaled reference), is it even legal?

I need to know to decide if it's worth the needed rewrites to my texmap meta implementation.

Does anyone have a guide of minifig parts with pictures and part names? MLCad's part preview is a bit small and grainy. Thanks!

Are there zombie minifigs made by TLG? There are some shown on the Web, but I don't know if they're official or not.

It seems that there is a need for updating the naming scheme that Primgen2 uses for the primitives.
Here my suggestion:
x, y, z are values that will be substituted by primgen2 for the dimension of the part.
cylinder: x-ycyli.dat : always use cyli
disc: x-ydisc.dat : always use disc
ndisc: x-yndis.dat : always use ndis
chord: x-ychrd.dat : always use chrd
cone: x-yconz.dat : always use con
ring:x-yringz.dat : always use ring
circle: x-yedge.dat : always use edge

The length of the filename is not important anymore because I think we will not reach 25 characters.

If this should be common used, I am going to change Primgen2 quickly.
