Hello everyone I am new to this aspect of lego and for a very long time I've wanted to build something of my own MOC.
I have an architecture model I built in college that I would like to legolize.

The physical model I have is at a scale of 1/8"=1' and as I mentioned I would like to recreate it.
I have seen very larger and complex models which even the smallest details are modeled with bricks. I imagine that all custom lego project start with the creation of the smallest element and goes from there? or the most natural approach would also be to use the lego man as as element of scale?

I would appreciate some pointers from the pro builders.

We have currently 372 parts on hold on the PT. This value is now nearly for half a year constant.
I would like to see that number decreasing

Everybody is invited to help to minimize that number !

Edit:
I just tried to identify those file, but sadly the question "Which files are on hold" are not answered by any function I tried on the PT.

This topic will be for LOTR models. A lot of parts is missing, but I think they will be completed.

Question to the part experts:

Do the edge line main points (nearly) always share a point with normal triangle and quad points. Or do they often ''float' between normal geometry points?

I would like to know this in relation to the current library, not the latest authoring specs.

...with some 250 new shapes...

I'm working on updating the forum them to better sync with the main site. Progress can be seen in the New Theme Forum I set up. There are quite a few rendering errors as this is still very much a work in progress. Some error are just styles I haven't dealt with yet, some are browser specific. I will try to make it render properly on Webkit and Gecko based browsers since that's what I have on my Mac. IE users will prolly be fine as long as you're running version 8+.

Also, does anyone use the jump menu? If not I think I'm going to get rid of it.

What are the official rules for scaling studs along the y axis? Am I correct that it is acceptable for underside studs, but not top studs? Personally I find no problem with the scaling of type 2 studs, but I've seen others place hold votes on files containing scaled type 2 studs.

I am creating sets from dino island to render them, but have problem. There are bended nets. A long time ago i saw this tool. Net generator is xls file. But i do not understand how to use it. If some one can make net for this model.

Hi at all,

Does anyone know if it possible to convert a XML file generated by pictobrick to a LDR file ?
pictobrick's XML shows the bricks (plates) in any row as a sequence of parts, row for row.
Such a conversion must be easy but browsing around for hours I couldn't finding such a tool.

Thanks for any help,

Arthur Sigg
