Let's discuss the orientation of (sloped) Duplo parts.

First of all, sloped Duplo parts have not been oriented as systematically as regular parts. There were some trends (reviewed here https://forums.ldraw.org/thread-28480.html). The existing official parts have several orientations where one major trend seems to be the patterning of a side surface taking precedence over 'slopeness'. This may be partly due to the LDPE editor, where -z is considered the front face of the part and the patterns have been considered the front in common use cases.

Part 11197 is mainly patterned on the side and used in conjunction with part 4198 (https://library.ldraw.org/parts/8177), which is also mainly patterned on the side and oriented in the -z direction.

Therefore, it makes sense to orient part 11197 also in the -z direction.

An alternative would be to rotate all existing sloped parts and their patterns to fit the same convention adopted for sloped regular lego.

Hi . I'm wondering if there is a parts CDN to be used with the ThreeJS LdrawLoader, (or if I can host one). I know there is some on GitHub, however most of them have not been updated in years, and I can't find an updated one. (gkjohnson/ldraw-parts-library on GitHub is what I found, but as a stated before, has not been updated in 2 years)

Also sorry for posting in off topic, I don't know what category this belongs in other than parts and I'm pretty sure that's for requesting new parts/issues with part models.

Hey, I'm new here and wanted to ask if someone here knows if the part 105005pb01 (Link Hair with Slouchy Hat) is being worked on by someone.
I saw some websites online, that have a 3d version of that part, but I can't find it anywhere.
Does anyone know where I could find it or if someone is working on it (discord maybe?)

Hello,
I want to take snapshots with LDView. For this purpose, I have saved the required settings in an INI file. The ldr file, the INI file, and the LDView64.exe program are located in the same directory.
The call looks like this: LDView64.exe 157.ldr -IniFile=Settings.ini.
It seems as if the INI file is not being used. A BFC=0 entry in the INI file has no effect. For example, if the call looks like this, the result is as expected: LDView64.exe 157.ldr -BFC=0.
What am I doing wrong?
I am using LDView 4.5 and Windows 10.

Regards

Manfred

Hello,
I found that for part 4488 there seem to be various versions: 4488, 10313 and 67688.
 I'm not quite sure about the codes.

In some sites 4488 and 10313 are indicated as aliases, but looking at the images of the lower part they are different, with two or three fins.

The difference between 4488 and 67688 is clearly shown in Rebrickable. The center hole doesn't seem useful for inserting parts, but it's just a material saver. For us, it's just a small aesthetic change that could be omitted.

Is it worth working on?



I am attaching some images and a first model that I have prepared.
It is not yet ready for publication and perhaps the names of the primitives should be revised a bit.

Hey there, I just found an element that isn’t on LDraw yet. It was first used for the Dreamzzz theme with printing.

I would also like a blank version without printing as well, which I know you’ll obviously add. Thank you for reading my part request!
