  Most Common Parts that remain missing from LDraw
Posted by: tom alphin - 2025-01-06, 23:41 - Forum: Part Requests - Replies (38)

Happy 2025!

As some folks here know, I launched a LEGO Parts Guide in 2024 which includes detailed analytics to determine the 'most common' parts based on # pieces produced across all sets, # sets using the part, # colors produced in, # of years produced.  The default sort is the "Overall Rank" which is a 'hybrid' ranking metric that factors in both #pieces & #colors.

I wanted to start a new list to capture very common LEGO parts which remain missing from LDraw.  In particular, I'd love to see the roughly 100 parts (out of the top 2000 parts of all time) which aren't in LDraw yet!

  • #1064 - Large Figure Foot, Type 2 (Part 90661)
  • #1221 - Rubber Band Small 13mm (Square Cross Section) (Part 71509)
  • #1231 - Belville, Equipment, Bow Small (Part 30112c)
  • #1278 - Helmet, Sports [Plain] (Part 93560)
  • #1349 - Large Figure Head Connector Block 3 x 4 x 1 2/3 (Part 32553)
  • #1388 - 2×2 Clikits Star (Part 45463) - Feelings about Clikits aside, this was a very common part despite only being used in sets from 2003-2005
  • #1462 - String Cord Thin 50cm (Part 56823c50) - How should I think about String within LDraw?  Is it assumed that people just use LSynth?
  • #1478 - Duplo Bed 3 x 5 x 1 2/3 (Part 4895) - I don't think the other DUPLO beds (part 4886) is in LDraw either.
  • #1484 - Clikits Icon, Star 2 x 2 Large with Pin (Part 45462)
  • #1520 - Duplo Drawer 2 x 2 with Semicircle Cutout (Part 6471)
  • #1529 - Rubber Band Medium (Square Cross Section) Thin Cut (Part 70012)
  • #1551 - Clikits Icon, Star 2 x 2 Small, with Hole (Part 46286)
  • #1555 - Duplo Suitcase (Part 6427) OR #2203 Duplo Suitcase / Bag (Part 20302)
  • #1608 - Clikits Icon, Heart 2 x 2 Large with Pin (Part 45449)

I stopped at #1500 for now, but there are a lot more you can find in the programmatically-generated list at https://brickarchitect.com/parts/not-in-ldraw.php

---Tom Alphin


P.S. Interestingly, I am observing about the same number of missing LDraw Parts when scoping my list to sets from the past 5 years (113 parts without an image) as when I scope to sets released across all years (87 parts without an image). 

It's super interesting to see how LEGO parts fit into a typical long-tail distribution with the vast majority of LEGO pieces being produced representing just a small number of the most common moulds.  Maybe I can do an article with some tables showing this long-tail distribution and how it correlates to parts which have / don't have 3d models in LDraw as well.

Posted by: Bob R0Sch - 2025-01-06, 19:07 - Forum: Part Requests - Replies (3)

Hi guys, I wanted to ask if someone would be so kind to convert the existing raw part of 6920 on LEGO Builder App to .dat either as an official or unofficial part.
It's this new part for 2025 in the soapbox racers:

  Request for part 3037px7
Posted by: Matthew - 2024-12-31, 4:33 - Forum: Part Requests - Replies (6)

Hello!  Am just sitting here, wondering why Stud.io doesn't have part 3037px7, and come to find out it isn't listed here either.  So, am just making this request known, part 3037px7, please.  That's all.  Thanks, and have a great day!  Rockatoa, Brickticks out!

Oh, and P.S.  I just checked, and a great big thank you to Mr. Gerald Lasser, as he seems to have finished the zeppelin container I was waiting on!  YAY!!!

  LDraw.org 2024-11 Parts Update Now Available
Posted by: Orion Pobursky - 2024-12-31, 0:38 - Forum: LDraw.org Announcements - Replies (3)

The 2024-11 LDraw Parts Update has been released. This update adds 315 new files to the core library, including 240 new parts and 11 new primitives.

Thanks are due to all the part authors who created or corrected parts for this release. The small, but dedicated, band of reviewers also play an important role in keeping files moving through the Parts Tracker and deserve just as much credit. This update wouldn't have been possible without their dedication and attention to detail.

You can preview the new parts in 2024-11 here, and download the zip-file update or Windows install package here.

NOTE: The Windows install package is currently unavailable. It should be uploaded by 1/1.

Thank you to all the testers and parts authors who continue giving feedback on the PT software. This project would not be what it is without your help.

  Which Koenigsegg logo for set 76900?
Posted by: Gabriel Läufer - 2024-12-29, 21:11 - Forum: Parts Authoring - Replies (2)

Hi everyone, 

I’m currently working on the sticker sheet for set 76900 (Koenigsegg Jesko). Three of the stickers contain the Koenigsegg logo but in a very low quality. Should I model the original logo or rather reproduce the sticker one? Attached an image from the current design. The logo to the right is from the Koenigsegg webpage but with a gray background. The modified one which is closer to the sticker design is at the center. The image to the left and on the top is a close up from the high resolution scans from Rene. Any preferences which sticker/logo design I should use? In set 42173 they are using the original logo with a better quality …

since these are fairly complicated pieces i would be ok if only 1 is authored.
and i would hopefully be patient since it would probably take a hour to make these.
