@Philo - Sorry for repeating the same mistake, the certified 60601 looked thinner than the previous 60602, which seemed OK with 60592 (attached).
I'll dig out the windows from 10214 this weekend and check the proportions of the material thickness.

Hello all. My name is Phil Peickert and I have been toying with MLCad off and on for years, and recently decided to make a hobby out of it. My favorite theme is Spyrius, and like Jude, I am interested in seeing the following parts added to the library:

3626bpx193 Minifig Head with Blue Headband, Red Hair and Eyebrows Pattern
3626bpx252 Minifig Head with Moustache Thin, Stubble and Sideburns Pattern
2446px14 Minifig Accessory Helmet Modern with Silver and Blue Vents Pattern
3039px32 Slope Brick 45 2 x 2 with Yellow Droid Outline on Screen Pattern
4346px15 Container Box 2 x 2 x 2 Door with Slot and Spyrius Pattern

To that end, I have begun experimenting with creating simple parts in MLCad and working my way up to being able to create more complex parts so that eventually I can try my hand at creating the above items myself and then having them vetted by the community. This brings me to my actual question. After much google searching and forum scanning, it seems that a lot of information on parts authoring is out of date. My question is what programs do you as experienced parts authors prefer for use on a Windows 7 (64 bit) platform?

Since most of these parts are detail intensive, I thought based on the online information I've found that Quad2dat would be the preferred method of starting, but I have seen that the program's website is no more. I have looked at LDPattern, LDraw Pattern Creator and Sticker Generator but wasn't sure which one would actually work better.

I appreciate any insight you might have. Thank you.

Noticed a comment on 61190b (clone trooper pauldron) that the origin should be at the 'shoulders'.
How about 61190c (clone trooper tasset) should the origin be a the top of the hips, in lieu of the top of the part?
Off hand, I don't know of any other accessories for between the hips and torso to check for comparison.
I wanted to check before I uploaded corrections so far (including the !HELP - top plastic is only 1 LDU thick - DOH! >_<).

The Tower Bridge.
I'm not sure if compliant for the OMR with all the sub-assemblies, but I can't see how to do something this big without sub-assemblies.
The 2 x 3 window glass was noted as too thick on tracker, so this includes an edit of the 2 x 2 window glass.

The sketch I did to calculate the angles using arc length and a couple of other tricks for the 'cables' at anglesForCables10214.JPG

I need parts of set nr 9656 Early Simple Machines - I 9656... please help me

If I'm right could somebody make this part,please.



If this part is really not existing please move this post to the part request thread....

Maybe not OMR compliant. Home made sticker and printed parts.

It would merge two of my favourites: Western and CC-Buildings. Please support!

Hi,

I was wondering what would happen if I saved a .ldr file, and passed it to a computer which didn't have the parts definitions that I had?

I wouldn't expect it to work properly in MLCAD, but how about if I loaded it in LPub?

does LPub rely on the parts libraries on the computer when rendering (or does POV-ray?) or can it work with only the .ldr and default parts.

Thanks in advance
