Hi.

I will like reqest these parts:

Bricklink part nr. 6030, 6029b and 973pb63c01

Thank you.

Maybe I have completely missed a process in MLCad, but here is my question:

When placing multiple models into one file, is there a way to make it so that all of the parts of each model show in the final MPD vs just the sub-models? Or is the only way to have just the submodels show with no individual parts listed.

Hi everyone,

What is the plan for authoring non-plastic parts like cloaks and kilts?

I've noticed that there are more of these type of accessories appearing on models. See examples below:

Bye for now

Hi everybody,

after another loooong wait, here is my latest release available as always from http://sr3dbuilder.altervista.org/

Most important news are:
- Extended functionality with pneumatic (still a bit buggy, but can't wait show my progress)
- Extended animation capabilities as shown in the videos

here is a complete list of changes (most bug fixes, but maybe some new bug also...)

Version 0.8.9.16

Fixed

- Importing a model with assemblies in a empty model can cause application crash
- Bad Differential animations expecially when double geared. It is important that the orbital gear is placed orthogonally to the transmission axle
- Sometimes a gear connection may interfer with a universal joint
- Importing a model causes first element of the imported group is assigned to Model (root) group
- Fixed some particular usage of PinBushes (at the cost of a some delay in solution computational of big models)
- Moving gear or bushes along a vertical axle to place them is now smoother
- Using mirror building with Alternative UI should now work
- Using AlternativeUI now predilige same alignment connections while positioning parts
- Selecting multiple parts was problematic while in AlternativeUI
- You can use the CTRL while pressing PgUp/PgDw to higher or lower selection by a 1/3 brick
- Restored the SetGridToBrick functionality
- Fixed some issues in flex part management
- Trying to change flex color when first placing it crashed the application
- Fixed an issue in quad animation in a 2x3 connection structure
- Trying to change rotation axle while in animation causes application crash
- Small Linear Actuator moving direction

Added
- User interface setting could now be saved in the preference dialog box ONLY
- You can now select and move a flex part when using the "Select Connected" option. Clicking on a flex part for starting selection is not recommended anyway!!
- Patched parts: battery box, Medium Powerfunction Motor
- Models backup files can now be disabled
- Support for medium size pneumatic pistons
- More complicated mechanism computation are now supported like the Theo Jansen's mechanism

Changed
- Now the program pre-detects triangled undeformable structures to allow less errors in mechanism computation
- Drastically reduced part list loading time

And finally the videos (any comment is welcome )
- Theo Jansen Walker
- SR3D Builder Partial 8110 pneumatic arm

Brick 2X2 W. Cup For Ball

A similar part, 62712, exists. Maybe they could be aliased until someone creates it.

The same goes for Jet Engine 98302 (missing) and 3475 (existing), slightly different.

Greetings all,

I m a long-time LDraw consumer, and an even longer-time software developer (currently working in C#.NET), and was wondering about any possible software development tasks I might try to help out with.

i.e. are there any pressing software needs, utilities missing from the LDraw family, tools that users regularly request, etc? Something I might be able to code in my small amounts of free time?

I'm a hard-core C# (and Delphi) object-oriented developer, but also have a great deal of experience in front ends as a UX specialist and graphic designer (so I'm good at UI layouts and creating little icons and that).

So...
- Developers: if you can use me, just let me know.
- Users: if you have a desire for some app, utility, or editor that doesn't yet exist, drop me a suggestion, please.

For instance, my dream LDraw project would be to recreate the MLCAD UI for improved usability, but I gather that's not going to happen... ;-)

An interesting post on Eurobricks by juraj3579, describing a method to render LDraw models with blender.

Hello,

I am looking for the part bb936c01 (Electric Power Functions 4.5V IR Receiver RC Car Base) Is somebody working on this part or has anybody a "draft" version?

Thanks a lot

I'm currently working on an official model which requires part 61254, listed as "TYRE LOW NARROW Ø24x7MM" in LEGO's database. It doesn't appear to be in either the most recent AIOI, complete.zip, or the parts tracker, but the most recent ldraw.xml makes reference to a "Tyre Small New" as 61254.dat. Does this part actually exist? If not, I would like to request it. This part does exist within LDD.

Two physical parts are missing, 10907 Helmet No. 5 and 10908 Visor Nr. 1 (the Iron Man helmet and visor). Both are in LDD as part of the Extended theme. If desired, I can try to get them in a rough DAT format. Note that the visor has a few different color schemes. Eye color and face color both differ from the base color of the piece and are both different from each other. BrickLink separates these into http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=10908pb01, http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=10908pb02 and http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=10908pb03.

There are also some patterns missing. The minifig head has different Tony Stark faces on both sides (http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=3626cpb705), and there is a torso pattern (printed both sides, http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=973pb1106c01) and a legs pattern (http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=970c00pb154). I can attempt to provide scans for these if needed.

Any help is appreciated.
