  1927 - Hinge Plate
Posted by: Fredrik Hareide - 2024-02-29, 19:49 - Forum: Part Requests - Replies (9)

I realized that the hinge plate is missing in inventories in LdCad due to the id being 1927. Should we have an alias for this?
Or is there enough difference to have a different model?

  MLCad.ini 2024-01 update now available
Posted by: Willy Tschager - 2024-02-28, 12:09 - Forum: LDraw.org Announcements - No Replies

Hi folks,

I just updated the MLCad.ini file accordingly to the latest LDraw.org parts update 2024-01. The .ini file defines (among other things) the parts available in MLCad's, LEOCad's and Bricksmith's minifigure generator.

Download the file from my website: http://www.holly-wood.it/mlcad/mlcad_ini-en.html

Bye, w.

  Major PT Update
Posted by: Orion Pobursky - 2024-02-25, 21:34 - Forum: Parts Tracker Discussion - Replies (28)

I'm going to drop a major PT update this week.

- This update switches our front end framework to a more modern system that is lightweight, more compatible with the back end, easier to maintain. As such, nearly all of the user facing pages have been updated.
- Voting is moved to the part detail page instead of it's own page
- Part submission is more interactive
- The user and admin dashboard will be temporarily removed for more extensive rework.

Since this update involve a lot of code revision, I ask everyone to be on the lookout for problems, visual errors, or other things I overlooked.

  LDConfig.ldr and mlcad.ini download page wanted and menu entry on webpage
Posted by: Steffen - 2024-02-23, 22:52 - Forum: Website Suggestions/Requests/Discussion - No Replies

I don't know where to get the latest LDConfig.ldr except via the AIOI.

And the latest MLCad.ini I always need to find on Willy's Homepage.

That's a little awkwark I think.

Therefore: Suggestion: can we extend the "Library" menu on the LDraw.org page?

I am talking about this one:

I would LOVE to see a menu entry "Supplemental Files" there which leads to a page
which allows me to download the latest LDConfig.ldr or mlcad.ini OR at least a link to where to get them.

  Introducing my LEGO Parts Guide, which is powered by images exported from LDraw.
Posted by: tom alphin - 2024-02-22, 6:50 - Forum: General LDraw.org Discussion - Replies (29)

A couple weeks ago, I asked about how to download the LDraw partlist so that I can include direct links to the LDraw website when people want to learn more about a specific part.

I am excited to announce that the initial release of my LEGO Parts Guide is live!

LINK: https://brickarchitect.com/parts/


What is the LEGO Parts Guide?
I aimed to create a well-organized, beautifully designed alternative to sites like Bricklink or Rebrickable when you just want to browse relatively common parts that are still being produced, without being bogged down in printed parts, extremely rare parts, or parts which retired two decades ago.


[Image: 2024-02-21-L3-Category-Joint-620x501.png]
Learn about each category with a text description and a gallery of LEGO parts.


I built this initial version with two audiences in mind:

  • Organizing your own collection — With just 13 top-level categories, it’s easy to get started in sorting your collection the Brick Architect way. As your collection continues to grow, sub-categories allow you to fine-tune your storage solution so you can find everything quickly.
  • Understanding how LEGO works — As you explore the categories and sub-categories, the title and description for each folder teaches you about the various connection types, complex geometries, and other skills you need to learn on your road to a Master Builder.


[Image: 2024-02-21-Part-Page-cropped-620x420.png]
Learn about each part on a dedicated page, with links to popular sites like Pick-a-Brick, Bricklink, Rebrickable, and LDraw to learn more.

This is also just the beginning — I’m eager to keep making this experience better by enhancing the page to learn more about each part, offering an easy way to print a LEGO Brick Label for a specific part, and adding more parts to the guide.


Right Now: Feedback Welcome!
This is one of the most knowledgeable and experienced communities of LEGO Parts Experts, so I would LOVE to hear your feedback on the experience I've built so far!  What would you like to see me change or add to make this a lot more valuable?




Looking Forward: Partnering well with the LDraw Community?
One experience that I have not built yet but will be building soon is a way to re-calculate the 'most common LEGO parts' on a daily basis. (My previous analysis was very slow to calculate, and I only updated it once or twice a year.)

The problem with a closer-to-realtime LEGO Parts Database is that I will run into more instances where an increasingly popular part doesn't have a 3d model in LDraw yet.  Because having a beautiful gallery of part images that are in a consistent style is a requirement for my site, I was wondering if it would be possible to automate the process of requesting new parts in LDraw?

For example: I could create a script that generates a csv containing a list of parts that are in the top 2000 most common LEGO parts, but are not available in LDraw yet.

Thoughts?  How can we collaborate better going forward?


Sincerely,
—Tom Alphin / brickarchitect.com
