Is there a reason why we don't include the inner-bottom (where it connects with the adjoining part) edgeline on stud4fns's? At least the part I've been using recently (stud4f4s) doesn't include this line, meaning I have to add it individually for each stud, which is a pain and clutters up larger parts which use lots of them. Was this an oversight? If I were to update and resubmit this primitive, would anybody have a problem with it?

Hi all,

I've seen that MagFors has been busy working on some Iron Man parts :-)

I noticed that on the image for set 76007 (Iron Man : Malibu Mansion Attack) that the visor appears to have a hinge. Is that correct? How does the hinge mechanism work?

BTW I recently rendered an Iron Man using POV-Ray...

A copy of the LDraw file for this figure is available here:

I found Captain America's shield here:

Is anyone working on any other Captain America parts?

One final question - what is the correct hair part for Tony Stark?

Bye for now

Hey,

there are a lot of LEGO bricks that are available in the LDD, but not in LDraw. I created a list that compares the design-ids known in the LDD Brickset 1128 with the part-numbers that are currently available in the official LDraw Parts Library (up to update 2013-01) and with the part-numbers that are currently on the Parts Tracker (Server time: 2013-08-22 10:11).

The LDD uses pure numeric design-ids but LDraw sometimes has numbers with an alphanumeric appendix. To compare these two (three) lists I used the following regular expression:

Hi, is it possible to put a background image on MLCad views ? It would be useful for tracing an object while keeping proportions and such, as in many 3d editors (see for example blender).

I am still discovering the programs that are present for all users.
Recently i read a lot of the program quad2dat.
But i am unable to find/download this.
Does anyone else know a solution to have a picture of a part and convert this to MLcad usable file?

Is there a way to have a specific set of parts associated with only a specific model? I keep each LDraw model in it's own folder and would like each model to have it's own unique parts folder. A parts folder that only holds any extra parts that I am using with the model itself. Is there a way to do this?

Are there any DAT file editors that let you view 1 line at a time similar to what the original LDraw's Ledit does? The problem with Ledit is it can't handle type 5 lines if you save the file it will turn them into type 5 lines.

Hello all,

Proudly I would like to present the newest and hopefully greatest version of my LDCad application.

Major new features (compared to 1.1b)

• Flexible parts
  
• Template system
  
• Nested editing
  
• (recursive) Grouping
  

• Smoothing of parts
  
• Up to 30% increase of rendering performance.
  
• And of course many small improvements and bugfixes.

Is there a naming convention for a "complete" Motor, i.e. with cable and plug?

LEGO shows PF-motors in their building instructions complete with cables. What would be the name of such a part? Or do you think it is better to use the PLI Substitution with an custom designed part (motor + LSYNTH cable + Plug)?

Thanks for sharing your thoughts

Gerald

How can I gather the length of a synthisized part? i.e. to use only cables with a fixed length or the flex axles?

Could not find anything in neither Willi's tutorial or any other place

Thanks

Gerald
