Hey,

this release 1.9.01 updates the Java version from 21 to 25 (LDPE runs on its own Java Virtual Machine, you don't need to install Java).
It should improve the performance a little bit and also fixes one rare "text editor UI update" bug in combination with rounding.

This version will also reset the editor size of the GUI because I needed to change the format which is used to store this information internally.
The config file for version 1.9 is not compatible with version 1.8.



As always, you can download LDPE from this page:

http://nilsschmidt1337.github.io/ldparteditor/

Changelog:

(1 new feature and 1 bug fix)

With this release you will be able to...

• ...benefit from a little performance improvement because of the new integrated "Java 25" runtime.
  

1. Rounding didn't update text editor when a vertex was selected in the 3D editor in rare cases.

I bought part 3245cpb035 since the pictures of it online sucked and I was going to make it, and took some high res pics for reference. The part has lots of tiny red and white boxes inside the white rays.

So do I

A) make a jillion tiny quad boxes in white and red respectively
B) Make them diagonal lines instead
C) Make the rays pink since thats the average between red & white
D) Ignore the stippling entirely
E) Some other solution like making it a texture instead

?

Saw the 77254 SF90 XX 7834 wheels are into raw-mesh state on the amazing https://forums.ldraw.org/thread-29267.html thread, curious if their tires part 5810 are in the works as well?

Hello!

For quite some time now, there has been an incomplete image of two minifig heads (3626cpx0 and 3626cpx3):

I'm not an expert in MyBB platform, but I know that it is a pretty oldschool forum platform - which to be clear, I do not mind at all!  It absolutely works well for this group.

That said, the ability to react to posts has become widespread on various platforms including slack, teams, facebook and others.  I do think that this would be a nice thing to allow peopel to do, since it is a way for people to interact in a low-friction way without polluting the conversation with 'me too' style responses.  A good example is in this thread where I want to give a thumbs up to folks who contribute positively to the effort without replying to each new part with a 'thank you' message.

I have not looked into it closely, but I think this plugin would be a good fit for this use case.

The part exists and is in Studio but the decorated part is not.  I have been looking for an image to use to create the decorated part in Part Designer on my own but haven't found one that looks close enough to the LEGO Version.

If someone has a workable image, I can try to merge it with the part in Part Designer.  Also happy to accept a fully formed part file.

Hi,

I have for a few years been wanting to upscale set 42145 so that it looks right with the lego dune ornithopter blades
But whenever I try by just reading the instruction manual, I either upscale only one or 2 axis and not 3, or I upscale all 3 axis but it looks weird (the wheels were way to far apart) 

So, I thought it might be a good idea to have a reference model that is blown up in LDCAD

Therefore I am wondering if this is possible, or would up-scaling a part also shift its position,and then the whole model will look like a salad.

Here is the model

I just realized that the 2x2 slope double tapered with straight bottom edge is not in these threads:

It came in yellow in set 77258 and comes in black as well as light bluish gray in the upcoming set 77259

Getting images of this part from different angles will be more challenging, but the instructions for 77258 should be on the instructions app.
The reason I say more challenging is because rebrickable not brickset has the inventory for either of these sets yet...

The straight edge where it double-tapers down, is just 1L, so therefore the taper spans 0.5L either side. (because 1L +0.5L + 0.5L = 2L)

Hope this helps.

Hello,

For the upper body 76382p8h, either the reference to Bricklink is incorrect or the color of the hands is wrong. It is an official part.
There are two versions on Bricklink.

Version 973pb0320c01 with yellow hands:
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/cat...or.%5D#T=I

and version 973pb0320c02 with light nougat hands:
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/cat...or.%5D#T=I

If I were to upload both versions to the Parts Tracker, the reference would be incorrect again the next time it was released, as Rebrickable has an incorrect reference to Bricklink.
For 973pb0320c01, Rebrickable cannot find a part in LDraw.
For 973pb0320c02, Rebrickable refers to 76382p8h, but this part has yellow hands instead of light nougat hands.

My suggestion would be to change the color of the hands on the official part to light nougat and create a second part with yellow hands.
Then the references in the official part will be correct and the new part should hopefully be referenced correctly.

Alternatively, I could upload another version with light nougat hands to the Parts Tracker and hope that the referencing works correctly.

Best regards,

Manfred

I am working on an alt build MOC in Studio of Set 75973 - D.Va & Reinhardt.  I need part 49523 which was not imported with rest of the set.  The part is literally only used in the one Overwatch set. The set is only in the builder app as the standard PDF instructions and not with the 3D rendering. 

Part Details:

Bricklink:  49523 - Large Figure Armor, Shoulder - 2 x 4 Brick Base with Curved Ends and Side Studs
Brickowl:  49523 - Large Shoulder Armor with Curved Ends and Side Studs
Rebrickable: 49523 - Brick Curved 2 x 4 with Heavily Curved Ends, Shoulder Pad Design with Two Studs on the Outside

Would anyone be able to help me get the part into Studio?  I am using a Mac on MacOS 10.15.7 in Studio version 2.26.1 (1)
