I've been working on the cylindrical implementation and I noticed some minor confusing things about the current TEXMAP spec.

The planar projection uses top/left orientation while the cylindrical one uses center bottom. This isn't a real big problem but the text states the v coordinate should be based on the distance to the base plane. This will cause the picture to be up side down.

So unless I misunderstood something (else) I think it should be the distance to the cylinder top plane.

Using that correction this:

Hi all, I created a Lego model using Bricksmith on my iMac, now imported it to LPub and I have a lot of steps in there which I want to have on one page... but he just does a list of it, listing step by step in a row on the page even if there is no room. Now according to the instructions of LPub I should right click the step I want to divide and choose "Add Divider after step" so it creates a new column with it.

But I do not have this option... it does not show up, even when the next step is outside of the page and I right click on the building picture as described in the instructions, there is no "Add Divider after step" showing up.

Help anyone please?

Now that several Friends figures are available... hopefully we'll see more Friends sets here!

i pulled some images off bricklink. Are any of these good enough to be transfered easily as new pieces?

A user on this site said that was possible, and I hope these images are good enough, but I can't send that person an email or PM through this site.

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.
