The 2026-01 LDraw Parts Update has been released. This update adds 146 new files to the core library, including 89 new parts.

Thanks are due to all the part authors who created or corrected parts for this release. The small, but dedicated, band of reviewers also play an important role in keeping files moving through the Parts Tracker and deserve just as much credit. This update wouldn't have been possible without their dedication and attention to detail.

You can preview the new parts in 2026-01 here, and download the zip-file update or Windows install package here.

NOTE: If you downloaded the update prior to the posting of this announcement, there was an error with the zip files causing some files to be empty. Please redownload the update to fix this issue

Thank you to all the testers and parts authors who continue giving feedback on the PT software. This project would not be what it is without your help.

Hello,

Some users have the designation ‘Part Header Editor’. What permissions do these users have? I believe they are allowed to change the header of the parts files without having to re-upload the file. Does this permission only apply to the parts in the Parts Tracker, or are they also allowed to make changes to the header of official parts?

I have a list of 76 entries from official files where the reference to Bricklink in the file is incorrect or missing.

Can only Orion make this correction, or can another administrator or a ‘Part Header Editor’ do it, and would anyone be willing to do so?
I don't think using the Parts Tracker is a good idea, so I will refrain from doing so. This correction may not only be useful for me.

Hi,

when I search for 7660, 7660.dat, or something like: 'Technic Cross Block  2 x  5' or 'Hole for Worm Gear 6L' I don't get the part showing up, ive tried downloading just the zip file for the part as well as the entire unofficial ldraw library but to no avail:


if I find the part file and open it in LDCAD it looks like this:

Any ideas what the problem may be?

I would like to share an idea I had concerning the availability of the Minifig Headdresses/Hair/etc.

Those parts are available as raw meshes with a correct origin and orientation. There is a frequent release of such parts by TLG, however getting them on the Parts Tracker is done sporadically.

Therefore I would suggest the following:

• Upload these parts (Hair/Hats/Masks) as raw meshes
  
• Use a special Uuser to do this (e.g. PT-Bot) respectively do a proxy upload
  
• These parts are free for everybody to pick up and clean them, and re-upload them with their authorship
  
• The parts can be on-hold, respectivly may not be released before they are cleaned and have a human author.
  

Hi,

I wanted to know if you could have a list of the lego pieces, like in Bricklink's studio app. Where it shows you the list of pieces that aren't in the set. Or can be replaced.

Guys,

working on the primref this caught my eye:
https://wiki.ldraw.org/wiki/Primitives_Reference

n-fringr.dat
n-frinrr.dat
n-ffrinr.dat
n-ffrirr.dat
nn-ffrir.dat
ringr.dat (deprecated name)
ringrr.dat (deprecated name)

Moving the content from the webpage to the wiki I just did a copy'n'paste, but this cannot be correct, right?

It's actually:

n-fringr.dat
n-fringrr.dat
n-ffringr.dat
n-ffringrr.dat

n-frinrr.dat (deprecated name)

Hello, I'm still sorting some things out with LDraw parts on RB and I have a question about the part 4719.

apparently two mold variations exist with three different ways of naming them according to RB.

- the 80's version, with a normal stud over the rear wheel and a normal hollowed stud over the front wheel named 4719 :

- the actual version, with a hollowed over the rear wheel and a reinforced hollowed stud over the front wheel named 4719 or 65574 :

The problem is that the part on the part tracker seems to be a mix of both mold.

Should we fix it, and how ?
- do nothing ?
- 4719 for the old one and 65574 for the new one ?
- 4719 for the old one and 4719a for the new one ?
- 4719 for the new one and 4719a for the old one ?
- something else ?

Thank you.

I didn't see the mesh posted for this 2025 part (unless I missed something):
Minifigure, Utensil Horse Head with Neck and Mane

If anyone points me to the mesh, I will try my hand at cleanup (never ventured into that before)!

Hi everyone!

I would very much like the part 88287 to be created/finished. Looks like there is a DLraw file available , but unfinished?/with ruff edges.
