Just wanting to add some stuff to this discussion:
I'd like to see clarified the status of color 16 for sticker bounding box. This idea (originally proposed by JC Tchang) has already been discussed here and there, but no clear decision has been made. Point is, using color 16 brings more flexibility for stickers, as they allow user to choose
- color of sticker dominant border color (as suggested today in spec),
- color of the underlying brick (useful to make borders disappear if sticker has several colors on border,
- or even... for purists, white to show the paper white border!

Hello all, I am working on a complete layout within Ldraw. I have design a train and crossing so far. My biggest issue is that I can not create a full loop. I have spent nurmrous hours trying to connect it but I am always short. I have my rotation set to .1 in corse edit mode. The current file I have above is as close I have gotten the parts together. If anyone has info or even tricks on how to connect tracks together it would be greatly appreciated. I am hoping to add a complete mini city to this as well.

thanks to all,

Mike M

Since we had only 5 confirmed nominees, no election is necessary.

Therefore, without further ado, the 2012/2013 LDraw.org Steering Committee [1] is:

Chris Dee
Tim Gould
Orion Pobursky
Willy Tschager
Scott Wardlaw

[1] Try not to confuse the LDraw.org Steering Committee (SteerCo) with the LDraw Standards Committee (LSC). The Steering Committee sets the course for the LDraw Organization while the Standards Committee deals with the LDraw File Format.

Hi.
I have problems with that program will not update the "Part List" when I click "Scan Parts". Although I have downloaded everything that is available on the site.

Someone who can solve my problem?

Hello,

Usually in 3d programs, you can rotate and zoom your models.
But if i build a lego city, i'd prefer to have a fixed model and fly above the model.
Is it possible? What is the best way to render a lego diorama?

Thanx

Let me know what you all think about this design. I'm not too keen about the warping on some of the quads along the sides. Any pointers in how to easily fix them would be appreciated. Also is 2446p60 ok for the part number? Thanks.

Phil

As I continue to finish making the parts for the Spyrius theme, I have come upon an unexpected difficulty. I am working on 3626bp66, Minifig Head with Headband and Eyebrows. I made an initial drawing in LPC which I didn't like. After reviewing the minifig heads already in the library, I redid the hair and headband in LPC and used LDDesignPad to cut and paste the parts from various minifig heads into a working part which has the standard grin and eyebrows and the blue headband at the appropriate height. I've read in the forums that SlicerPro is the program to use to convert 2D patterns onto 3D quads however I can't seem to make it work right. I have read the online documentation and reviewed the forums but I'm still confused on how to make SlicerPro do what I want it to do. What file should I select for the InFormer, and what options should I select for SlicerPro itself? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

When threads start getting long and contain a lot of inline images (like this thread), they become really difficult to deal with, particularly when a link from "Recent Messages" is clicked to view a message late in the thread (like this link).

The problem seems to be that the image shrinker is swapping out a placeholder on the fly. So the text that you are looking at is continually being scrolled down off the screen as the images load. Is it possible for the spot where the image is going to end up to have its initial size match its final size after the image is loaded? Note that once you've viewed the thread with images loaded, looking at it again doesn't show the placeholders. I'm not sure if that's because they're cached after generation by the server or what, but it's possible that the behavior I'm describing here won't be visible to others simply because anyone who looks at this thread and clicks the links will make the problem go away for other users.

I've planned to do in some time the airport shuttle set with has monorails in it. Right now many of these monorail parts are in the library. that is great! But still some important parts are missing :

2677 Monorail Track Ramp Lower Part
http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=2677

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

Since these parts don't seem as they could done easily and fast, I request them right now to get a chance that they are done in probably the next quarter of this year.....

Let me know what you think. Thanks.

Phil.
