Quote:They are based on Lego piece 3711, but designed in CAD and then transformed to Ldraw. It has fully functional connectivity for use in studio. You can find the studio and partdesigner files on my Bricksafe page. To import them into your studio custom part palette, open the .part file in PartDesigner and then export it to studio.

Recreate "Shupp XXL Train Wheels" from scratch for Parts Library as Third Party parts.

For the "Shupp XXL Train Wheels" (https://www.shapeways.com/shops/shupp-s-...rain-stuff), there was an attempt to create LDraw parts, but its files created with a "CAD->STL->DAT" workflow (not exact LDraw way to model wheels), and this attempt files might not be included into LDraw due to many other issues:

Let's discuss what else needs to be in here.

Years ago it was a joke that "LDraw.org opens to LEGO clone bricks":

1. What is the state of Third Party parts?
   
2. May I design own LEGO-compatible part and pull it to Parts Tracker for including into Parts Library?
   
3. What is the state for including non-LEGO-compatible parts from other construction sets now?
   

I just authored draft of 2335pb024.dat part (from 3825-1 and 3833-1 sets)

I need some assistance, please. For a specific model I'm working on, I need to plot out two lengths of Technic flexible tubing (specifically, to serve as fuel lines for the model in question.) 

I've managed to plot the general path of the tubing, as show in this image. 

   

Here is the current version of the complete model:
