I've finished submitting a new suite of parts for the earliest version of the garage door 822 (and its frame 821). This is the version without studs, and with tabs on the frame for use with slotted bricks.

The new parts are on the tracker here:

Frame

• https://library.ldraw.org/tracker/32685 (full tabs)
  
• https://library.ldraw.org/tracker/32686 (partial tabs)
  

• https://library.ldraw.org/tracker/32695 (shortcut with door and counterweights)

Paweł asked me to discuss this part. 

There seems to be some discussion about on this part as well:
https://library.ldraw.org/tracker/32621

Paweł, can you repeat here what you wrote to me regarding your intention with these parts? The other reviewers can chime in to discuss how we move forward.

Hi,

this release gives you a new keyboard shortcut and fixes some bugs (thanks to Magnus and Willy!).



As always, you can download LDPE from this page:

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

Changelog:

(5 new features and 2 bug fixes)

With this release you will be able to...

• ...use a shortcut for "Merge to Nearest Vertex" (Ctrl+N).
  
• ...see a hint for wrong comment lines with just one slash (with quick-fix option).
  
• ...benefit from the fact that running a tool in the "3D Editor" will update the "Text Editor" immediately.
  
• ...see additional hints for the pivot point in the "Rotate" and "Scale" dialog.
  
• ...set the filesize limit for the !DATA meta command (in the program options).
  

1. Pasting something via clipboard did not deselect the currently selected vertex.
   
2. A direct colour is not an invalid number (when it contains the letter "E").

I've gotten a couple of reports of legitimate users getting a message that they are banned on the forums. I'm not sure yet what is happening but it seems there's some sort of error occuring as they are not actually banned when I check in the admin console. If this is reported or happens to you, have the user log out and log back in again. This apparently fixed the problem for one of the reporting users

I thought I should fix the missing inside surface structure in 11439p01-p04.
A dual mould of a transparent core, inside a transparent part. 

I had a look into similar parts, the Stein cup and the Ant, to see how it should be made. The cup is made with the coloured content after a BFC Noclip, but the Ant doesn't use the BFC Noclip.  Hm.

I made 2 files using the BFC Noclip, red and black, but didn't add it to the blue version.
But when I looked at the result it became strange.

In LDView it looks like this:
   
The transparent surfaces behind another transparent surface is rendered, independent of a BFC Noclip, or not.

In LDCad it looks like this:
   
The transparent surface behind another transparent surface is NOT rendered, independant of the BFC Noclip. Only the solid coloured surfaces are rendered correct.

Is the rendering in LDCad dependant of some setting I have missed, or can't it show trans surfaces behind another trans surface?

Would be good parts to have added to the parts tracker to get away from the usual hood pieces.

I create this thread to share new parts retrieved from the Lego Instructions app that aren't yet in the LDraw library for any author willing to tackle them or anyone who would need them for creating their MOCs.

Hi, I'm trying to find help for my son. He uses LDcat v1.7 and from sometime we can see just small red "x" instead of Lego bricks. any thought how to change it?, thanks
