A number of part authors have indicated that they feel that some (many?) of the restrictions placed on official parts are overly bureaucratic, and thus counterproductive. And while I've been a member of the LSC for many years, I am not a part author, and I don't review very many parts. So while I personally feel that the current standards are fairly reasonable, I also feel that if they're driving part authors away, then perhaps they should be changed.

So, I'd like to get feedback from part authors, but only if the feedback is polite. Orion will quite rightly not put up with this thread turning into a flame war. I'm looking for honest feedback from current part authors about the requirements for official parts as they stand now. More specifically, I want to know if there is a feeling that certain restrictions should be removed.

If the results are such that I feel it's warranted, I'll start an official LSC discussion in the LSC forum. (This thread is here in this forum so that I can get feedback from more than just the current 5 members of the LSC.) If the vast majority of the results are that things are OK, I won't. And I'll be honest: even though I promise to start the discussion if I feel it's warranted, I can't make any guarantees about what the results will be, since I'm only one member of the 5-member LSC, and LSC procedures for the current LSC state that 2 NO votes are enough to defeat any proposal. And depending on what the requests are, I may even be one of the hypothetical NO votes. Actual change will require that no more than one of the current LSC members is against the proposed change.

I can't locate contact info for a reviewer, and don't want to get in the habit of cluttering the Authoring/Standards forum with review correspondence. Could there be a way to answer a review without resubmitting, or providing a sub-forum for per-file discussions, encouraging reviewers to look there for any counter-arguments?

Or, is the Authoring/Standards forum already expected to serve this purpose?

I have bean having some problems with Mlcad, and i need some info on how i can fix these two problems. The first problem is that i cant select and change the rotation vector and type in what i want. Second, i cant add any new custom colors to my default color list. Also, im running on windows vista.

I have created five attachments, to display the problems that i have bean having.

Any help would be appreciated.
sincerely: Elijah Horton

Hi all,

I have these 3 custom made parts with a pattern with "holes".
I know this has something to do with BFC, but don't what to do.
Can this be corrected at once?

http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=2678  - Monorail Track Ramp Upper Part

These parts were very old parts but have not released as even an unofficial part until at the moment.

Is there any able man who are planning on these parts?

Thanks for reading.

As I am fed up with what has become of LDraw, I have decided not to contribute anymore. As my contributions to the parts library has already become quite scarse, you will probably not notice any difference there. Please don't try to talk me into giving it yet another try.

As I don't really approve to the derivative works made by LDraw.org to my already official parts either, I consider to cancel the agreement I once signed if possible. And here comes the tricky question: Is it possible to cancel the CA I signed for already existing parts?

• Bricksmith
  
• brickView
  
• Glide
  
• Konstructor
  
• L3Lab
  
• LD4DStudio
  
• LDCad
  
• Lego Digital Designer
  
• LDGlite
  
• LDlite
  
• LDView
  
• LEdit
  
• LeoCad
  
• LGLite
  
• MLCad
  
• SR3DBuilder
  

• L3GLite
  
• LCX
  
• Brickdraw3D

Looking for challenging modelling opportunities such as this big wheel. It would help if it is something from a set I might have or get (Technic/Star Wars), or the LDD mesh is reasonably close.

In the interim If no objections and interest in the parts, I'd like to add the Heroica Die Tiles, and weapons to my personal work queue.

In LPub when I hide a step (e.g. after a buffer exchange there's a step with no changes that can be hidden) the subsequent steps get renumbered, and as a result the assembly images are off by one. The workaround is to clear the assembly image cache. Ideally the software could rename the cache files or internally keep track of the shift in step numbers somehow.
