I'm targeting 8/24-8/25 for the next release. Get your reviews in. 

P.S. Going forward releases will generally happen on the last full weekend of the month.

Hi again.

It seems there's an error with 44568. The usage of p\clh6 is not correct since it's symetrical and the two fingers are not on this part.

I have this part on my desk right now and I see the same that's shown on this picture :


Does it exist two versions of this part, one with symetrical fingers and one without ?

Hey,

this release adds primitive substitution to LDPE. It is very similar to LDView's primitive substitution.
I even used some code from LDView and mentioned Travis Cobbs and Peter Bartfai in the credits :)
It also delivers better icons for the dark mode and enhances the 3D grid visualisation.



As always, you can download LDPE from this page:

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

Changelog:

(4 new features and 2 bug fixes)

With this release you will be able to...

• ...use primitive substitution (blue circle button at the upper left corner, ctrl-click to modify substitution quality).
  
• ...benefit from a 3D grid that shows 3D model intersections and has a lager size.
  
• ...benefit from inverted icons for a better contrast with dark buttons.
  
• ...create a coplanar quad within the "Coplanarity Heatmap" mode.
  

1. PartReview had loading problems under MacOS (the 3D view was gone).
   
2. (Linux/Mac) case-sensitivity when following a reference from the text editor with a mouse click when the target file was already opened caused problems.

Hello,

on the figure head 3626bp41 the moustache is a bit too high, see the following picture (source: Rebrickable).

Please also insert the Bricklink reference 3626bpx120.
This head is used e.g. in the sets 6009, 6057, 6086.
Can someone please make this adjustment.
Thanks.

Greetings

Hello,

There are several minifigure torsos on the part tracker (76382). These are so-called shortcuts. The numbering is 76382pccc, where ccc stands for the printing.
Shouldn't c01 be added as it is a shortcut and there can be several versions, e.g. different color of the arms?

Greetings

Manfred

Hello,

I have noticed that the Bricklink reference for the printed official part 98138p0k is incorrect. The reference is 98138pb204 and correct is 98138pb086.
The following pictures should show the error. Note the position of the lens. One time it is off center, the other time it is centered.

   

I would like to correct this error using the “Fast Track” function. But this is not possible for me. Are only certain people allowed to use this function? 
I would send the modified file to the administrator, if that is okay?

There are many other printed official parts where the Bricklink reference is missing. For these parts I would like to specify this reference and a reference to one to three sets. I would also do this using the “Fast Track” function. Alternatively, I can send the changed files to the administrator.
How are these files checked if they have been uploaded to the part tracker via the “Fast Track” function or the administrator. I would only adjust the KEYWORDS and HISTORY lines and cannot judge whether the graphic is error-free. If there were an overlap or a gap here, for example, I would not be able to correct it due to a lack of experience.
What would happen then?

Greetings

Manfred

Edit:

Is this the function for the Fast Track, F at the end of the status in the Parts Tracker?

Hi, I've a question about 2792.
I had this part as a kid and I remember that there was a "tooth" in the middle of the part, locking 2791a in given position. But on the LDraw part there's nothing.
You can see the "tooth" here (RB picture) :

My question is : did it exist two versions ofthis part, or is the LDraw version false ?

I search on BL and I got the same part with the tooth :

Great set from the Star Wars saga.
Made with Studio.
Fully inspectable interior with added stickers and green neon lights.
Minifigures missing.

obviously a newbie here.

i have downloaded the complete file of Ldraw part definitions.  they are in the .dat file format.

i want to convert a part definition to .stl for 3D printing.  all the online converters i have tried require the input file to be in the .mpd format.

how do i convert from .dat to .mpd, or how can i download a part definiton in .mpd format?

thanks!

Ken Baker
